My list is inspired by actual neighbours in our community and life, in general. The metaphor for this social interaction is drawn from a pumpkin field that I passed on my daily drive to school where I taught History to high school students in another community. Students and staff celebrated life in its diversity, achievements and struggles.

Kerry, I think this is an old Mr. Linky from another prompt.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Its good to know all these people didn't finish before 6:45am! Lol
ReplyDeletei think it's fixed... looks like no one had yet posted a new poem, but if you posted one in response to Patricia's word list, please post again.
ReplyDeleteFall time certainly has its perks.

ReplyDeleteGreat list Patricia!
ReplyDeleteHi All!
ReplyDeleteSo excited to participate in this week's Word List part of the schedule.
Neighbours & neighbourhoods came to mind for a theme.
Last year, I shared a link to my blog in response to an Open Link Monday. At that Hallowe'en time, I posted my poem on "Neighbourhoods" with a pumpkin theme. This year, I will repost the poem on my blog for the theme of my word list here.
I look forward to stopping by blogs in this community to read your takes on the theme. Happy Autumn Day! :)
I went dark more Halloween then neighborly. I might try another one.
ReplyDeleteThanks Patricia! :D
Thanks, Ella! Will check it out. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I reposted a poem on the theme at my blog http://pm27.wordpress.com/2013/10/02/neighbours-all/.
Is it alright if we link up post date? For example if I finish Wednesday, can I link to this when I post it then? I also love the word choices!
ReplyDeleteThe links do not expire, Rachelle. You are welcome to link up tomorrow or Friday.
ReplyDeleteRachelle, glad you like the words I chose!
ReplyDeleteKerry, great to know about the timing!
Welcome, Patricia, and thanks for the list. All the Toads know how much I love to work from word lists, and I certainly enjoyed this one.
ReplyDeleteK
Awesome Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI checked out the prompt authors site! I will not post formally here as the poem would be too short:
ReplyDelete... birth, teenagers, death...
Such a lovely list Patricia. Feeling a bit sad the last couple of days...writing to encourage myself and hopefully others also.
ReplyDeleteWhat the heck, I tried to look at the kinds and properties of the words in a very minimal context.
ReplyDeleteThis ended up in a different place than I anticipated but I had been trying to find words for this recent experience.
ReplyDeleteSusie Clevenger -- I often write when I am in that frame of mind, too. :)
ReplyDeleteL. Edgar Otto -- thanks for sharing your approach to the list!
Grandmother (Mary) -- similarly, sometimes, not sure where a prompt will lead me. :)
Thank you, Patricia! I enjoyed the process that became of meditating on your words. :)
ReplyDeleteHannah, so glad they were a good focus for your meditation! :)
ReplyDeleteMy first week back at school has been so hectic, I apologize for not being able to do anything creative this week. Many thanks to Patricia for her participation and lovely responses in commentary.
ReplyDeleteKerry and Toads,
ReplyDeleteSo welcome!
Enjoyed this Word list share and all the exchanges of poems and comments! :)
