Fireblossom Friday: Recipe For....Poetry

Hello dear Toads and Pond followers. Fireblossom here, standing in for Margaret this week. 

At the risk of drawing down the wrath of our very own Grapeling, I am going to ask you to use a list. However, unlike the Get Listed feature, YOU are going to provide the list, not me.

I want poems which include a list of some kind. Here are some ideas about types of lists you could use:

bucket list

to-do list

ingredients for a recipe, whether for food, a potion, or something else

guest list

shopping list

wish list

hit list

a line-up

things required or prohibited

symptoms and/or treatments

an inventory

personal effects

hate list

casualty/survivor list

instructions for something


There are, no doubt, many others. Feel free to come up with your own! Here is the thing, though. Don't just mention a list without telling us at least some of what's on it. Details, baby. That's what's required here. Please write a NEW poem specifically for this challenge, then link up! Have fun, listies.

    This was challenging Shay, but I managed to pull a few bones up out of the ever-simmering cauldron for you. Thanks for getting me to write, as I am really not doing that much right now--and thanks for stepping in to host.

    Well, I've seen Stonehenge and I always sleep with my windows open in Summer but Machu Picchu remains a goal.

    Many thanks for stepping in at short notice with a great challenge.

    A list that just came to me, Shay, sort of a list.

    Looks like I "listed" my name twice on mr Linky. Sorry. The second one works.

    aw heck, I could never get mad at you, Shay. heck, I may even steal this idea next time I'm up.

    Didn't think I had a poem in me - well, maybe I didn't, but put something up anyways.

    Best to all ~

    Checking "write poem for Shay" off of my list . . .

    Aqsa, the idea of a challenge is to do what the challenge lays out. Your poem had nothing to do with lists.

    I'm very late this time. It took a while for the poem to come to me, and then it needed a lot of work.

Much time and effort went into this post! Your feedback is appreciated.
