Before we dive into the prompt, I should note that I am stepping away from my writing responsibilities here at Read Write Poem due to increased responsibilities in my day job. I am deeply thankful to the Read Write Poem community for their support of my writing.
And now for the prompt: While pondering the plenitude of pretty words that the people of the Wordle Word Bank proffered, it appeared that many of the words began with “P.” Pleased with this pleasant development, I picked through the piles, just to produce a perfectly P-themed prompt. Whew!
Do you want to play along? All you need to do is pick up your pens (or pencils) and craft a poem, including as many of these P-words as you can. If you’re really psyched, you can add a few alliterative P-words of your own. Then, next Thursday, pass by here to share your p-p-p-poem. As a reminder, please reserve the comments of this post for discussion of this prompt and preserve your poem for Thursday’s Get Your Poem On post.
Poets Mark, Katie, Rallentada, Neil, James and Kathy helped to prepare our list of P-words, so you should peruse their blogs and praise their philanthropy. If you’d like to participate in providing words, join us at the Wordle Word Bank. We can always use more words, P-related or not.
Good luck!

Ah, Jessica. You’ll be missed around here. I’ve been following your words (since the Poetry Thursday days!), and you’ve been an inspiration to me and my own writing. Thanks for everything you’ve done for poetry.
And I really hope to keep in touch — I believe in the poetry connections, even if the lines are a bit long & transparent!
Good luck with everything Jessica.
Thanks for all your hard work for Readwritepoem.
As for the wordle – usually I click on it to get a large version that I can print out, this link however just goes to the main wordle site and I don’t know how to find a large version of the wordle? I could just write the words down of course, but somehow it isn’t quite the same.
Jessica, thank you so much for your contributions, especially these wonderful prompts… hopefully you will still show up from time to time?
Thanks, Jessica.
Just remember that now you can write irresponsibly.
Pretty, positive and pleasing!
