Hello poets! This week we're going to delve into the realm of dead poets so get your shovels and follow me. Ah, here we are, William Wordsworth! Haul him out of there, come on. Hey Bill!
There are certain poems of his that move me and that I love, or at least like a lot. Here is one of them:
However, I often find Wordsworth to be a bit precious and pretty. Daffodils, did I take my pills, did I sign my will, time to take up my quill and be brill.
Nevertheless, William has kindly provided us with a wonderful word list! 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 others, and steep in the marvelous tea of your accomplishment! One lump or two?
Your list!

Hi qbit! it was starting get lonely around here. Not sure where everyone is.
DeleteHi Shay! Love your introduction to Willy Wordsmith, it made me chuckle! :) I'll add something later this weekend, weekdays are always compromising for me. Great word list!
ReplyDeleteI used to have a button I liked to pin to my jean jacket. It was a black heart with the single word "compromised" on it. I miss it. Glad you like my profile of Willy Wooolworth!
DeleteHa ha!
DeleteHi Shay, sorry for the slow response. Life has stepped up the pace somewhat and when I sit to write I'm all spun out. I managed to find something to say in my words but it was a stretch. :-D. Looking forward to reading yours!
ReplyDeleteLove the wordlist...I'm so much in my head these days I thought I'd write about it.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Shay! I have a dinner date (!!!) and I will be back later tonight to visit, read, and comment.
