January resolutions may be fading, but it
is still the month of new beginnings. Coincidentally, today is my husband's
birthday. So over at our house we'll enjoy the cake of choice from his boyhood
--yellow cake with peanut butter icing and a grape jelly filling. A glass of
milk is required to wash it down. Yum!
For today's prompt I'll provide the word
list ingredients for your poem referring to either new beginnings or a birthday (happy or sad or in-between). I'm not
looking for an ingredient poem about baking a cake! I'll be full-up on dessert
anyway. I want to feast on the words you insert into your new creation on
newness itself, or on a special
celebration you are looking forward to, or a milestone memory you recall about
a loved one.
Mudslide, landslide, red velvet, carrot....
there are so many ways to mix goodness into your poem. Choose all four words from ONE of these word lists to build your new poem:
solace trace pause over
inwardness sweat reflect beginning
need forgiveness unfolding back
thanks weight years ahead
I
look forward to reading and savouring your respective slices of life. Also
enjoy this musical inspiration from Stevie Nicks.

I wrote something true, for once. I blame you, Angie. ;)
I used the whole list. Sorry if that counts me out.
I love word lists! Thanks for spreading the joy, Angie.
In between baking the cake, icing the cake, spreading jelly like nobody's fool over the middle section...I'm really enjoying your poetic creations. Wondering if no one will jump on my Peanut Butter band wagon? Happy January AND writing to you all. Thank you for your time and effort.
Peanut butter cake is my husband's favorite too ... never heard of the jelly though.
Thanks for the bonus of Stevie Nicks!
Fabulous Prompt Angie and happy birthday to your husband.
I used more than my fair share of words...OOPS!!
you are all allowed to use the prompt as liberally as i ate the pb&j cake:)
Thanks, Angie. I hope to be along in a while. I have a little one keeping me VERY busy!
Excellent prompt. I wrote about an anniversary and letting. sort of a new beginning.
I have a terrible cold but managed to get a few words out... sorry for being terribly late
Oops and I misunderstood the words to select a bit... but it was fun anyway.
When I looked at this post on my phone, the lists were all mashed up so my poem is all over the place!
sorry guys. if someone can tell me how to make neat blocks on blogger I WOULD.
i'm okay with whatever you all "turn in" lol I'm not grading these; just enjoying your varied responses.
Late in playing... I am off to visit everyone now.
