Word Garden Word List #6 (Laura Marling)

 

Hi everyone, it's me with your weekly word list poetry prompt. The idea is to use at least 3 of the 20 words listed in either a poem of any length or style, OR a "flash 55" which is a piece of writing consisting of exactly 55 words not counting the title. The prompt stays "live" through Friday. Just write, link, visit, enjoy. 


This week's list comes from the lyrics of songs by British singer/songwriter Laura Marling. The first song of hers that I heard was "New Romantic", which I stumbled upon on You Tube. 


I was further intrigued by "What He Wrote", a song that sounds very much like something Leonard Cohen would have written. 


I also really like "Tick" "Blues Run The Game" and "Nouel" but you'll find your own favorites. If you weren't already into her music, I am betting that you will be presently! 

And now, without further ado, your word list!

bell
blues
broke
bullshit
crying
December
dust
fallen
fickle
holy
hunter
lonesome
naive
peculiar
ring
sand
skin
spoken
wild
wounded

  4. An excellent list, Shay. I'm not familiar with Marling, but she has a classic voice. I'm currently taking a break after writing 50 poems in eight weeks to close out 2021, but if something slithers to the front of my brain, I will be sure to let you know. Thanks so much for doing these lists, Shay. They are a great resource for us all.

    1. Don't fret. It's fine. Please leave it, otherwise no one will see your incredibly funny take on acrobats, and it should be seen. ;-)
