We are in the final season of this wonderful Imaginary Garden, as 2019 draws to its conclusion and, with this in mind, I asked a very special friend of the Toads to share one of her fabulous and famous Word Lists for the last Get Listed writing challenge.

This mystery guest wishes to retain her anonymity, but she has been a long-time blogger, who has her own special, magical way of appearing in many whimsical disguises, like Alice recreating her own unique Wonderland. I am most thankful for her support and artistic approach to poetry over the many years of my blogging experience and thrilled to share her eclectic selection of words with everyone today.
To participate in this challenge please select THREE or MORE words from the list and write an new poem inspired by the images they suggest.

Mystery, my butt, lol. I am delighted to have this person's list to work with! (singsong) I know who you arrrre...
ReplyDeleteI love you guys and gals. I know you’ll make me go bonkers with your creativity.
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait to read your pieces. <3
Wishing everyone a happy Friday, and weekend ahead. I am looking forward to the creativity that arises from this list myself... I have spotted a few most perfect words to put to use.
ReplyDeleteWonderful list! I want to use them allllllll. lalalalalala I don't think I will make it but I love this list.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteThese words are fine, like a jigsaw puzzle with multiple conclusions from the box of pieces. I was hoping for three to fit but a little length seven worked for me. R W, it was fun though I'm not real happy with mine and I may pull it off later.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kerry, my teacher. I'm anxious to see what is on your mind for using your picks.

Thank you for gifting us with your words and poetry, S. It is always a pure pleasure to read your poetry. I can see this character so clearly in my mind's eye.. the jeans and beanie description is so you!
ReplyDeletelol ... that was totes my outfit that day; maybe you saw the picture!

Hello... and love the set of words, had to do something on 55 words this time.
ReplyDeleteSorry for being late, the week has been busy...
Really fun prompt, much harder than just one word prompts. Good practice. Me and my muse where at odds with this one. In the end she got her way as usual, I just we managed to tie it together.
ReplyDeleteNot sure I did the delightful list justice, but I loved it enough to trip among the words.
ReplyDeleteBack from visiting my Mother-in-law. We had a great visit and about a whole week off - I missed the garden.
