Word Garden Word List--D.H Lawrence

 
D.H.Lawrence

Hello my little Listies, and welcome to this week's Word List poetry prompt! When I was a young adult, I read D.H.Lawrence's "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and was absolutely blown away by it. (I mentioned this when we had Alison MacLeod's "Tenderness" as our source not long ago.) Now I am re-reading it but am not finished with it yet, so I culled this week's List from two short stories by Lawrence: "The Prussian Officer" and "Odour of Chrysanthemums." 


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 settle down on the verandah with a volume of Lawrence! 

And now, your List!

bruises

primroses
pulse

tremor
vine

  2. Thank you Shay - the only DH Lawrence I've read was at school - but it brought back some good memories of The Rainbow! Jae

  3. One of my fave poems is by Lawrence - The Elephant Is Slow to Mate. It is wonderful.
