Greetings Garden Dwellers!
Izy here, all excited to be making my first ever Friday appearance. And just because it's the end of week, don't think I am going to let you off work early....we got poems to write. Today's prompt is brought to you by a very good friend of mine: the weather.
We here on the north plain are currently in the middle of winter storm warning that will last until tomorrow afternoon. That's right folks, a winter storm warning--in spring. Sooooo....what nature has taken from me, I will conjure forth here: a good melting, one that cannot be stopped by silly things like temperature.
Welcome to the Friday Out of Standard Challenge: the melting.
The prompt: Write a poem about melting.
The catch (pay careful attention now): Your poem must not contain elements of fire or ice: no heat, no cold.
That's right, tricky. Not impossible, however, and you toads are a clever lot. Go now and bring back something shiny and unexpected, bring on the melting.
Oh, and um, do hurry. This is what my neighborhood looks like:

Summit Avenue, St. Thomas, Macalester College, St. Kates .. the mansions that line the Avenue. Oh how I love St. Paul MN!! Spring WILL arrive, promise.
Thanks for the prompt! Stay warm and hope some melting comes your way soon!
Where are my chocolates?
Anybody seen my chocolates?
I need them for a poem.
Whoa! Seriously? Your street looks like that?!?
I've got something for you. Meanwhile, stay warm and safe, my friend.
I love your photos, Izy. Once again you raise the bar and ask us to jump higher. We do it to please you.
:)
A welcome challenge today,,one to enjoy,,, I hope you weather the storm well,,,I can appreciate your spring surprise as we have had a long winter and a late spring here too,,,
Wow you are having late winter weather! Helps remind we why I live where I do!! Snow is wonderful but not to live in all winter! But then some people love snow so who am I to say? Interesting challenge that I will have to think about. Thanks.
I happened to write a melting poem - of sorts - yesterday, so my ideas were somewhat curtailed today. This is what I came up with. I feel that after 19 days of poetry, my lines are becoming rather threadbare.
Brrr....Beautiful photo though. Hope spring comes to you soon and stays! I love the challenge!
Oh... I think I stretched this one... actually put it in as a last minute and think it might read better with out it.... not sure. Either way, thanks for the challenge!
I have a date tonight with the hubby and will be back tomorrow to visit and comment.
Love it! What a creative topic. Thanks for the inspiration, Izy, and I hope Spring comes your way soon! I just linked my poem. Have a nice weekend, everyone! :)
i didn't think i could write today, but then i managed to. xoxo
We had hail today; and I am still wearing my winter jacket. Brrrrrrrrh. I got an idea just tonight.
One thing I really enjoy about getting comments is how others see things in my poem that I did not see myself! Thanks for all the comments.
We had a flurry of snow today here in Wisconsin, but just enough to make the world look like Narnia!
Here's another poem for you, Ms. Izy, have you time or inclination.
A wonderful collection of melting poems. I read them all!
Late to the party with a "melting" pot of thoughts. ;)
