| Clare Chambers |
Hello my little recluses, and welcome to this week's Word List poetry prompt! I have recently read a marvelous new novel by Clare Chambers entitled Shy Creatures. It's about a 37-year-old man found living with his rather dotty elderly aunt. He has a five foot beard and no inclination--or perhaps ability--to speak. He and the aunt are removed to a mental hospital (the story takes place in 1964) where the aunt quickly gives up the ghost, leaving the staff to try to solve the mystery of William, the man of few words. Find my review HERE.
What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new, original poem of our own. Then simply link up, visit at least some others (or you're a dick) and then relax and smile benignly. This prompt remains active through next Saturday.
And now, your List:
act
animals
arrival
art
cold
crash
cricket
fox
funny
hidden
instinct
mute
naked
private
ribbons
seconds
sky
spirit
ticket
weeds
Is “Shy Animal” an alter-ego for Super Possum? Do we have a special signal that will call her forth?
ReplyDeleteWe do, but it must not be spoken here. To meet, say, "The trash is fragrant today" and I will say, "Grandmother has the grippe." Then circle around to the equestrian statue; there will be a coded message folded inside its mouth. Proceed as directed.
