A Word with Laurie: Demarcation

From the Airplane, Photo by L. Kolp
Hi, everyone! I hope this day finds you eager to write a poem. The word for this month comes from Joy's Verse Escape: The Triumph of Verbosity; demarcation which, according to dictionary.com, means:

1. the determining and marking off of the boundaries of something.
2. separation by distinct boundaries: line of demarcation.

 Synonyms: boundary, division, distinction, separation

Or... perhaps: point of no return, three-mile limit, about-face, dichotomy

And... as applied to relationships as well as visible limits.

I'm setting a few boundaries:

1. Write a new poem for this prompt
2. Post to Mr. Linky
3. Visit other blogs from the list and leave a comment letting them know you stopped by.

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

    Wonderful prompt! This should give me the push I need to finish a poem I've been working on for a couple of weeks, fits perfectly!

    I agree--great word--don;t suppose I can rest on my laurels with the poem that used it? Oh well. ;-) Nothing stirring in the witchy cauldron atm but you never know. Thanks Laurie.

    this word prompt seemed mystically right for me tonight, on the anniversary of the death of my first husband - a night that definitely split my life. i thank you so much. I think i needed to write the poem I wrote and wouldn't have written it without the prompt.

    Laurie, I followed your example and was a day late. ;-) It's part of the poem I did for Gemma's photos.

    ...I love this - Will probably pair this with the Sunday challenge and post it on Monday's Open Link as this is a busy weekend for me. I will post it hear as well and swing by and comment on everyone's entries.

    Hi Laurie! I never wrote specifically to this prompt, but think my poem "Going Our Own Ways" that I wrote for Kerry's Sunday challenge would fit. Should I bother to repost it?
