My intent here is to write a poem from the prompt I give to you , the reader, in hopes that it will inspire something and get others to write with me.

WOW.... ( Words of Wednesday)

We are doing a bit of a change up for WOW... since we are so busy with all the gardens, we are finding it a bit hard to do all the propmts that WOW usually has. So we are, for the mean time, going to do our USE THESE WORDS Prompt for Wednesday, until futher notice. We hope you will undrstand and have fun joining in !

The rules for use these words are you must use 8 of the 10 words as they are given in prose or poetry.

Today's words are ...

CRUMPLED, GRAVELED, PARTICIPATE, GHETTO, COLORLESS, WINDWARD, TAPESTRY, SCRUNCH, MUTUAL, ASHES

OURS IS ...
A GRAVELED road winds
softly towards the horizon,
COLORLESS to most who have taken it,
it calls to me.
I walk it alone,
willing to PARTICIPATE in its beauty.

This is a TAPESTRY
that I paint in my CRUMPLED mind,
As I leave the GHETTO of the past,
I spread the ASHES of my fallen dreams,
allowing a new dawn to come
WINDWARD into my wanting soul.

We have a MUTUAL belonging,
this road and I.
I am whole again.
As the past lies in waste,
I feel it SCRUNCH beneath my feet.



YOUR TURN
ENJOY
JL&B
