Hello my little puppeteers and welcome to this week's Word List poetry prompt! I recently finished a novel by Grady Hendrix entitled How To Sell a Haunted House, and I loved it.
It's about a brother and sister whose parents have both died in a traffic accident, leaving them to sell the family home. The trouble is, there's a haunted puppet named Pupkin in there. He's very charming unless he's turning you into his zombie slave or trying to kill you. Trouble is, he's almost always trying to do either or both.

The novel is half family dynamics and half horror, with a liberal dash of humor as well. I can't stop thinking about it. Hmm, could it be Pupkin taking over my mind???
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 as you are able, and then be sure that new house of yours is really, actually vacant before you move in! This prompt remains active through next Saturday.
And now, your List:
attic
bright
clown
cousins
dolls
dumpster
friends
hammer
haunted
jealous
jumbled
ministry
moon
puppet
remote
safe
scared
snotty
squirrels
thirsty
I can't say how much I like this list, and the subject matter it's drawn from. I may have to dive down to the depths of the cauldron and do some stirring this week.
ReplyDeleteYears ago I wrote a poem for one of the poetry books I "create" for family, remembered it when I saw your word list, reworking it now and will "publish" ~ for real this time.
