To find a synergy and alternate
twixt bucolic and the corporate
is oft a balance on a dagger’s edge
the risk is large to miss and draw a wedge
between what’s wise and sound in former tense
and a potential in the other sense
my stumbled tiptoed choice at the abyss
and afterwards some things are lost – amiss
Le Havre, the Town Hotel and the Francois I Tower by Eugene Boudin
A little Sunday ditty.. tried to use all the words and keeping it short. My first try in writing a wordle for Sunday Whirl. I also link to Poetry Pantry.

Björn Rudbergs writings 
ha. i like the fluidity of this piece bjorn
and what is life without risk eh? best to dare….smiles.
Impressive!
No choice is without consequences, as you so well expressed, Björn! Finding the right balance between all the opportunities that face us can sometimes feel like an everyday challenge.
Whew, I do think alternating between the bucolic and the corporate would be difficult at times. But, Bjorn, I think you wear ‘both hats’ well! Smiles.
it’s not easy to use the words and keep it short, but you did it well! I like the rhythm of your words and the idea of balancing on a dagger. Adds some spice to life!
Very clever and I hardly noticed the word list ~ Its a challenge to find that balance ~
Ah… that’s training on twitter here.
I guess you’ll just have to keep Twittering, then! (It’s an art I’ve never mastered.)
Certainly one of favorites of yours. ‘Balance on dagger’s edge,’ really set the tone. Just fun to read!
Always a tricky balance, our choices. 🙂
So much to offer our lambkins though once they leave, then we have to re-balance to attain those successes we put off…
Thanks ~Jules
I like the title, too! You make it look easy.
Nice. I loved the rhymes and the flow of the words. Very well-penned. Some things are lost but it is better to take a chance and go for it. 🙂
-HA
Beautiful shot Bjorn! It flowed very well despite being tightly structured! Nicely!

The art of a wordle is to keep it as short as possible. Therein lies the challenge…ha and you nailed it first time!
The words stand out incredibly, Brudberg! Amazingly crafted 🙂
“on a daggers edge” the whole mood of your poem is thus summed up
what a wonderful write and too i luv the vintage language and the rhyme
Have a nice Sunday
much love…
Nice one. Ah, risk – sometimes good, often not – but we do, don’t we.
I thought they were a difficult mix of words..you did a fine job of whittling them to a dagger’s edge..I liked the bucolic and coporate line also..
Wonderful work of word weaving. You capture the element of risk in your title, then define it with your word choices. Very well done,
Elizabeth
“twixt bucolic and the corporate
is oft a balance on a dagger’s edge”
These lines really speak to me. This poem has great impact!
Fantastic contribution. Decisions are risky, and change brings loss. I loved the rhythm of the poem, and the complementing image.
liked the theme of this… many walk the daggers edge with choices that are hard…
This is so well written. You took the risk and won. Definitely this is a winner.
wonderfully wordled, Bjorn – it is indeed a dagger’s edge we dance between those worlds, not a balance that comes easily…
I too feel that this was effortless flow–the word list seems to inspire rather than hinder your process–
…me too…love to chase couple things simultaneously. 🙂 Great try!
Finding balance is indeed a challenge. Beautifully written poignant piece you have here.
leading life with a balance…….is what the trick is!
very nice poem on a choice so many are faced with. It seems as if those the balance between living in the corporate world and living in the human world is becoming less like a balance and more like a giant chasm.
Bjorn, first of all nice to see at the whirl. You did a fantastic piece of writing here. Concise and flows beautifully.

p.s. The idea of the wordles is a jumping board for writing, imo. If, the words don’t fit the poem, I never force them. You did a wonderful piece of writing here. Some folk believe that the wordles should be short, but where is the freedom of writing in that?
