Good morrow my fulsome flowers! This week we wave in the wind to the words of William Wordsworth.
Wordsworth is known for such poems as I Wandered Lonely as A Cloud (Daffodils) and She Dwelt among the Untrodden Ways, the latter of which is a favorite of mine. I have done you the kindness of passing over William's more (ahem) flowery words in favor of twenty I thought might serve us better.
What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new, original poem of our own. Then just link, visit others, and then lie down in a field of daffs and contemplate that cloud over on the right that resembles a dog flying an airplane. Easy peasy! This List remains current through Sunday.

ReplyDeleteThe wayward fastball, high and outside.
Another, closer...
The unfinished stroke,
the ball dipping away.
He's out.
AGAIN.
Creatures in the stands invest themselves in this madness.
Tune back in for our next visionary episoode

What Are Your Words Worth?
You are a clever devil, Phil. Poor Ray Oyler. Fans used to cheer when he'd foul one off. (And it finally happened--my poetry world and my baseball world occupying the same space at the same time. Can reality survive?)
DeleteWhat? Wordsworth used to play AAA and got called up to play third base for the Cubs? When did that happen? Tinturn Abby is really about Wrigley Field? What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteOh come on, get with it, qbit! But now that Wordsy got dealt to the Yanks he'll have to shave,
Delete"Wordsy" LOLOL!
DeleteLOL, I am entertained just reading the comments. Smiles. Will ponder.
ReplyDeleteAlways great to see you here, Sherry!
DeleteSherry is spot on re the comments!! The words themselves create a quasi-poem. I must get to work.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you'll write, Helen!
DeleteGiving this list a try for the first time!
ReplyDeleteWelcome!
DeleteThank you for this prompt, nice to contemplate clouds
ReplyDeleteI'm finally back to attempts at poetry. This is dark, but I went where the list took me. Thanks for the inspiration.
