Welcome, one and all, to another word-obsessed writing prompt. This week’s words were collected in a novel way — through the Wordle Word Bank, a new group on the newly expanded Read Write Poem member site.
Group members Dana, Mark, Rallentanda, Katie, Jill and Nathan posted these creative words on the group’s wire. I’ve incorporated them into this week’s writing prompt.
To participate in the prompt, simply fold some (or all) of these words into an original poem of your choice. During next Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post, share your link with the group. To keep things orderly, we do ask that you wait to share your links until the Get Your Poem On post goes up. Talk all you want here about the prompt — just save your links so they are all in one place and more people will see your work (and so mass confusion won’t ensue).
If you would like to contribute words for future wordle prompts, please join us over at the Wordle Word Bank group. Every so often, I’ll post requests for different types of words, and I’ll use those words in a future Read Write (Word) Prompt.
Happy writing!

wOOt!
Um … I’m very new at this. The deal is to write a poem with all those words? Then what?
OK, my try:
Hitch homeward!
Coarse bustle, spooning,
salatious fling;
8-track diode execution’s froth
coagulates rancid rant.
Hello, hello, Cecilieaux!
It’s nice to have you here. This post is just to introduce the prompt. Next Thursday there will be a new Get Your Poem On post. Be sure to post your poem in the comments there. (Otherwise people may not see it here!)
You might also read the About page, it has some good basics about the site that will help you learn about the project.
Welcome to RWP. Glad to have you!
Thanks for using some of my words, Jessica.
Me too Jessica!
I have started my poem and it is making me laugh, which is good, since it started as a bubbering rant.
It has now turned into a mismatched metrical extravaganza… perfect for getting your poem on, eh?!
Looking forward to seeing what everyone else brews up on Thursday!

–a mismatched metrical extravaganza?
that sounds like a job for the poetry mob!!
Good to see someone is an expert on this subject.
Ah – a great prompt. I have such a wonderful idea for it, and tried it out on my Blog, then deleted it quick before Google picked it up. I need a bit of freedom to carry this off – and i guess I’ll have to figure out how to do the html. Thank you – ReadWritePoem – you are my oasis.
So, when do we get to post the link, huh, huh, huh? Are we there yet? Actually – is it Thursday 0700 ET?
I’m SO excited to do this prompt!!
And because it’s #88 (8 is my favorite number) I’m working extra hard on this poem!!
