Todays Prompt is USE THESE WORDS

This excersize is one of my personal favorites to do and will be used quite often in the future. Please use all of the words exactly how they are given, write it any way you feel it, as a poem or story, with the words in capital letters so we see how you used them.

Today's words are ...
WILT, TANGY, BAND, DICE, TRACE,
FACTS, FENCE, OOZE, CROWS, STUD

OURS IS ...

A BAND is playing in the background
far beyond the FENCE
that the CROWS light upon
some STUD is singing hot blooded,
but he hasn't a TRACE of talent
instead, his OOZE is spewing
a TANGY sound that is
making me WILT in despair
I bet he has a pair of fuzzy DICE !

OOO  I want to do it over !!!
okay let's try this....


In your eyes I see a TRACE
of the STUD I fell in love with,
as the BAND on the radio plays the
song that makes me WILT in your arms
I no longer OOZE with beauty
My CROWS feet are deeper now
yet once again I get a bit TANGY
Feeling  like I can roll the DICE
let down my six foot tall FENCE
and face the FACTS, You are the one !


OK OK OK..That was better, but still not it, ONE MORE TRY..
Better yet, let's see what you do !

YOUR TURN
ENJOY
