Hello my little repeat offenders! Welcome to this week's Word List poetry prompt! This time our List is taken from Kate Atkinson's novel Life After Life, in which a woman is born and reborn again and again, in different situations but with recurring threads.
The main question of the novel is, will she grow up (she frequently dies in childhood) and assassinate Adolph Hitler before he comes to power in Germany? It's a fascinating read. One thing I especially liked was that she experiences life on both sides of the second world war.
Will she kill Hitler and save the world from global catastrophe? Read it and find out. Meanwhile, what we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new original poem of our own. (It need have nothing to do with the source material unless you want it to.) Then just link, visit others, and then sit back to contemplate your mission in life. This prompt is current through Sunday, so don't forget to come back to visit the late-bloomers; they've been looking a little droopy for lack of comments. 😔
And now, your List!

DeleteWell, crap. May is the cruelest month too, at least so far. I will get this one done. I think I can I think I can! Toot! Toot!
ReplyDeleteC'mon little engine....
DeleteThis was a real challenge. I wanted to use all of the words and managed to do so. (The book sounds interesting.)
ReplyDeleteYou are ambitious, Mary! I'll be by soon to read it!
DeleteI decided to include a tiny reference to time travel in mine.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine! Word List is The Fun Prompt Without Any Rules! (Except using at least 3 of the words.) ;-)
DeleteWent haywire with this list, but you know, you've only got yourself to blame. 😉
ReplyDeleteWhat, again? :-P
DeleteSounds like a very intriguing book!
