Hello! Hooray! (As Alice Cooper once sang.) As you who have been following the Word List know, I have been delving into my early influences of late. But now it's time to switch things up!
This week, our list is taken from two books by my friend Susie Clevenger: "Dirt Road Dreams" and "Insomnia's Ink." Susie is an amazing poet I have been being impressed by since way back in Real Toads days, and she only keeps on getting better.
You can find her at Confessions Of A Laundry Goddess and at Black Ink Howl, two blogs chock full of poetry to get lost in. Her writing is always heartfelt, incisive, and original. I urge you to go see!
Meanwhile, without further ado, here is your list! Just choose at least 3 of the 20 words I have selected from Susie's books and use them in an original poem of your own. Then link up, visit others, and bask in a quiet air of sublime accomplishment. :-)
