Words for Wednesday’ is a once a week writing prompt that has carried over from ‘thefeatherednest’. The prompt could be a selection of words, a photo, an idea or a couple of sentences you can use to start a piece of flash fiction. Write a poem or a story using as much or as little of the prompt as you please or offer us something entirely different as a prompt. There are no deadlines, no rules...just a bit of good clean fun. Put your creation in comments here or let us know if you are posting on your own blog. Please let me know if you want to be listed in the sidebar as a participant.
Today’s prompt is:
actual
spontaneous
remedy
fanciful
mesmerized
cranium
OR
listen
glisten
christen
moisten
hasten
penicillin
I chose "listen, glisten, christen, moisten, hasten and penicillin" and wrote the following short poem using those words:
Can you hear your inner song?
It beckons you to sing along
Painted with love’s brightest ray
A glisten-streaked joyful day
A song to christen your doubtful heart
With eternal hope and fearless starts
Moisten the most barren land
With seeds to sow and gentle hand
Hasten now my wounded child
That inner song will make you smile
It may sound like rock and roll
Penicillin
for your soul.
I love reading the various responses posted on Under The Porch Light. The creativity that flows forth is simply amazing! Thank you, Delores for allowing me to participate!
Be sure to check out the sidebar participants...they don't all post their attempts on my blog. This is a fantastic job of using the words.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I will.
DeleteWell done. I couldn't do it.
ReplyDeleteI bet you could!
DeleteLovely poem, using all the words. I could not work "penicillin" into my writing.
ReplyDeleteI built mine around penicillin (it heals). The rest seemed to just flow.
DeleteAlas I don't associated 'good clean home' with penicillin - quite the contrary fun I daresay.
ReplyDeleteIt has been fun and a much needed distraction.
