Word Garden Word List--The Return of Ellie Black

 Hello my little jive turkeys! Let's do the Jumpin' Jive and jump right in with this week's Word List poetry prompt!

Every year at this time, Poetryville is filled to its eye teeth with prompts centered on gratitude. Speaking as a card-carrying jive turkey, I have no appetite for yet another one, and so this week's prompt has zero to do with gratitude unless you are a churlish crank like me and are grateful this isn't a gratitude prompt!

I have just recently finished a humdinger of a thriller by Emiko Jean entitled The Return of Ellie Black. I absolutely could not put it down. It concerns a teenage girl who is abducted when she wanders away from a party alone. Two years later, she reappears, discovered by two hikers, alive. 

Emiko Jean

Where has she been? Who took her? How did she escape? She's not saying much, which is a mystery in itself. If you enjoy this kind of novel, read this one!

Meanwhile, what we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new original poem of your own. Then simply link up, visit others, and then be discovered at some distant later date carrying a plate of turkey and mashed potatoes and asking, " Could you pass the cranberry salad, please?"
