Hey all you "A" listers! Tell your agents you'll call them back. This is Fireblossom with a first-rate set of word lists compiled not by me, but by our shy friend from last time.
Okay, here's the dish. Write a poem using any of the following:
*any of the five-word sets
*use any combination of words from any of the sets
*use just ONE word
*or use ALL the words (and then report to the clinic for observation!)
Our shy list-maker wants everyone to know the words are flexible; for example, you are allowed to change "sweltering" to "swelter" if it works better in your poem.
dignity woven innocence desire exploring
tangible sweltering questions simple flicker
clamp assaulted projector scorpions served
merciless sidewalks secrets permission enticed
otherwise shot opossum missed giving
prayed packed bulldoze nervous exact
Remember, poems should be NEW poems written specifically for this challenge. Please link back to Toads from your post, and add your name to the linky, so that we can visit and see what you've come up with!
After all...anyone who's anyone will be there! Ta, darlings!
Well, dear Shay--as I've probably tediously said before,I'm not a big fan of word lists, but I did my best and cooked up something just for the Garden, because who could resist all those uppity women in the pics. It could be dangerous. ;_)
Many wonderful words, we're spoiled for choice. I may have to put this project on ice for a while, but will certainly try to get back to it later in the week... Unless a bright idea troubles my brain before bed-time.
I am still running around like a chicken with my head off trying to get our house ready to put on the market, but I think I have a little time to play today. I will be back this evening to read everyone's poems.
I used all the words, I hope I did your lists justice. It was a fun exercise for me which I needed. Will be reading all your poems over the next day or so. Bless you all, sure have miss you!
This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in suits for women, long evening dress, top wedding dresses your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the leisure here! Keep up the good work
This was fun, Fireblossom. I tried to use all of the words with Pees. Now, time to sleep, hopefully without a pee or not as a princess, hee hee!

ReplyDeleteHey Fireblossom, I am not much for word lists - they remind me of to-do lists (of which I have too many). But I like shy people. So thanks. k.
ReplyDeletenice one
ReplyDeleteLove the list! I was going to write a senryu for each word, but I ran out of steam.
ReplyDeleteNo knowing where a list of words may lead?! LOL ♥
ReplyDeleteI too love this list! ;D
ReplyDeleteThis was fun- I used about 15 of the words and enjoyed the process. Thanks, Shay.
ReplyDeleteReporting to the clinic. I lost count...
ReplyDeletePoetry Prompt by “Imaginary Garden with Real Toads”
ReplyDeleteUsing a group of 5 chosen words: These are my 5 word group.
(Merciless,
sidewalks,
secrets,
permission,
enticed)
“Grandmother In Pumps”
Her caring but controlling grip as
I pushed the pedestrian light button
Green, enticed my next accurate suspension...
My eyes dallied away from her pump shoes
to the slick sidewalks left to addle,
and, each step took permission ...
The knee brace clanking secrets inside the
Thick white knee sock
That hid red, plump scars pumping...
Her all encouraging love enticed
Eagle eager eyesight from a merciless reality
To a lightweight wingspan for flying!
Thank you sweet word girl and Shay!! Sorry so late...xo
