For this week’s Read Write Word prompt, we’ve got two (count ‘em) participants to thank for their word donations. Both Beth and Claudia sent us some lovely words that we’ve happily lumped into a Wordle formation. You should thank them, by the way, because this week’s prompt has some creative and odd words for your poems.
So how does this prompt work? It’s easy. You can choose as many (or as few) of Beth and Claudia’s words to infuse into a new poem. Once you’re done, you can post a link to your poem in the comments here or wait until Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post to share your work.
If you’ve got some creative or odd words that you’d like to share (or some beautiful, haunting, or whimsical words), email us a list at info (at) readwritepoem (dot) org. We can always use new words for future prompts!
(And remember that the Read Write Word and Read Write Image are now part of the regular weekly lineup of prompts we’re sharing each Friday as opposed to being separate prompts shared in addition to the Friday prompts — hence the renaming/numbering in the title of this post.)
This was so much fun to work with – GREAT words!!

Sound
Sound
Sound the trumpet
Chopping onions and listening to Purcell
in my cupboard kitchen
a once delicate hand clutching the knife
chopping
chopping
How many thousands of onions
have I chopped in a lifetime
steam from the pots
misting up my specs
tethered by the familial threads
to the sink
too late for this soprano
Elvis has left the building
It’s great that people are so excited about the prompt, but remember to also leave a link next Thursday, on the Get Your Poem On post, so people will see your link and click through to your site.
