My NaPoMo poem #13 – a bit of Wordle whimsy: Chilling Reality
Mine 13th poem is something different:

[...] used Read Write Poems read write word #14. The words I’ve used are: changeling, impugn, room and [...]
My poem is fanciful but I wonder if I’m the only one who thought this as a child..

Here is my response to the prompt #12, Where Do You Come From? http://malleryk.wordpress.com/2009/04/13/napowrimo-12-where-i-come-from/
[...] I decided to use Emily Dickenson’s “massacre of suns” approach, a two line poem using some of the Wordle words in today’s prompt from Read Write Poem. [...]
I’ve been away all weekend, but here are three to catch me up. I didn’t use the prompts for #11 and #12, but used material from museum placards. #13 is a short one, and I’m all caught up!
#11: Crazy Spring Time
#12: The Diseased and the Blessed
#13: Briny as a tidal pool
Used a couple of the words and the random word: confession.

today’s effort
For #13 used most of the suggested words and touched upon ‘Lucky’ prompt from Dash.
It’s on my Facebook Notes

Also, I’d love feedback on the sestina, “We Decided to Move Inland,” I posted for yesterday’s prompt.

Wordles with more vowels, please! I went this one alone:

Of course, when I say “vowels,” I mean VERBS.
Red-faced me.
A Minute poem yesterday (posted just prior to midnight) and a Limerick today – what’s next?

I happen to be really busy with schoolwork this week, so my poetry will probably reflect that D: haha. I didn’t follow the prompt today.

almost all the words…
Here is my poem using this prompt: http://malleryk.wordpress.com/2009/04/14/napowrimo-13-wordle/
I searched the word “green” on flickr, and found this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/deniscollette/2369681836/, the title of which gave me my inspiration.
I am holding my own! I’m only a couple of days behind…too many guests this w/e!
I know where I’m from…it took some time to figure it out. (35 years!)
Been busy studying for an anatomy & physiology exam and doing homework!! But at least I wrote this on paper, but didn’t get a chance to post it! Enjoy!

here we go. two behind, eek.
White duck in a green pool, a “nature poem,” a little more cheery than the last few!
Of course I’m behind–I just can’t work that fast. (Plus, I “have a life” meaning, like most of us, I’m busy with other stuff.)
But this sure is fun and I am eager to try today’s prompt, word trails!
Yay! (I don’t think I’ve ever had that as a prompt, though I certainly have followed word trails and they are a part of how I work.)
I know this is really late, but I’ve been busy… I have nine poems to write today to catch up!
Here’s this one:
