SENSATIONAL HAIKU & WHIMSICAL WEDNESDAY~5

When things get too rough

Spirits at an all time low

Can't take anymore

                                 Endurance tested

                                 Hanging on by a thin thread

                                 About to give in

Chin up, shoulders back

Unrelenting and steadfast

You will overcome

  FORTITUDE           If you would like to participate in this challenge, or read the other amazing entries, go to Jen's blog . 

…and now for our weekly dose of weird, whacky and sometimes wonderful words (from the dag's dictionary), for some mid-week relief…

Queuecumbered – to be trapped in a queue which slowed down the instant you joined it! 

Tiechosis – an affliction whereby a person wears a cartoon-character tie in a futile attempt to appear amusing.
