and foll. is my attempt to use this word
his emotions were turbulent
as his eyes darted in and out of the room
this was the D-day of his life and
she was missing....
An amazing whirpool of images flash past him
- perhaps she had an accident,
she might have been hospitalized,
she would be weeping for not being there....
after the lights had all gone, a ring and a Hello
Ah! she hadnt even considered it worthy of her memory

Patience dear friend....
I enjoy a close relationship with this word maelstrom. In brief form ... back when I was in college, my professor had us study from a rather intense vocab book. He then tested us on every word in the book (there were over 200). I ended up with a 99 on my test and when I realized the word I had gotten wrong, I stood proudly to announce that "maelstrom" was NOT in the book at all. He couldn't believe 1. that he made this mistake and 2. that I knew the book well enough to pick up on it!
He gave me the 100% after all.
Good times! Great poetry here and a really fun read.
@W hag
that anecdote was quite interesting n u truly deserved the 100% :)
