For this week’s Read Write Word, I spent a few days just noticing words. During my day job and my errands, any time a word tickled my fancy, I jotted it down. I found that in my daily life, I often take words for granted. There are so many strange and wonderful words out there waiting to be noticed, even if I’m in a meeting or picking up groceries.
To participate in the prompt, write a poem using as few or many of these words as you can. When you’re finished, simply post a link to your poem in the comments here or in Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.
I hope that you will spend some time taking notice of the words around you. If you find a list that you like, send it in to us for use in a future prompt. You can send your lists to info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org.
One-way ticket
Locomotive motives dilate the wheels
That stuggle with mirrors, sleak cracked appeal
To blink can sheath vision and un-leak the seals
Of the squishy uncanny bodily reveal
