(of Onassis fame)

the 12 given words:
window sailing crammed small bare ancient 
rising hummimg light falling friend breast

3WW given words:
intentional
kaleidoscopic (adj: multicolored psychedelic)
lacerate (verb: gash slash wound)

definitely a window of opportunity
not to pass off the joys of sailing
though crammed in a small boat
bare of any pretences of luxury
and seemingly ancient by any standards
but lots of fun to a teenager

that was a long time ago
when given the chance
what a thrill!

rising to the occasion
humming a light little tune
head over heels like falling
in love with a special friend
and heaving a heavy breast
with the first kiss

it was a lucky break not intentional
but with kaleidoscopic hallucinations then
on how it could have been a luxury yacht

lacerated in thinking perhaps
but dreaming of the good life!

    Hi Hank, nice to see you! Love what you came up with using all of those words...excellent. When you're a teenager, the simplest of things can bring job like having your own modest sailboat and your first kiss. Sweet, Hank.

  9. You captured the excitement and thrill of the adventure in vivid images. That alone would have made the little boat seem like a luxury yacht. The experience was as priceless. 😊
