[...] Read Write Poem Prompt #105 was a Wordle. I used some of the words and some synonyms for some of the words, but I didn’t use all of the words. For instance, wind shows up as breath and sigh. Meteors became falling stars, pulled became hoisting. Backs morphed onto backpackers. The only thing left of the trees is their fallen fruit. and the stars are only implied by the sky. The moon led me to minaret. You get the idea. [...]

[...] Last week’s prompt borrowed words from one of my favorite poets, William Stafford, specifically from the first stanza of “An Oregon Message.” Not everyone is a Stafford fan, but I am, and I hope you’ll poke around the Poetry Foundation site, read about him and a few of his poems. But right now it’s your turn to share your words, whether or not you used many, or any, of the ones Bill used. [...]

Won’t

May Sarton wrote—
psychic pain? Sit it out.
Be like the trees
that give up their
leaves easily in the fall,
retreat into their roots
for renewal and sleep.
I have learned this lesson
with confusion—
let it hang there and
things have a way
of sorting themselves out.
But when something
gnaws at me
and I don’t know or
won’t know what it is . . .
Oh, there’s the rub
isn’t it?
Won’t know.

I already have a poem with one of the words from ‘word promt’ in it, and I am going to promptly enter it! Here it is:

Winter Blues

The wailing winter wind that blows a gale
Sweeps like a brittle brush scouring the land;
Rendering the autumn forests frail,
And anything else that comes at hand.

At the helm is Jack Frost, fearless and brave:
Advancing behind him a force of snow and hail.
Some of the elderly will come nearer to their grave –
Soon to be just a photograph, a memory, a tale.

Outside the window there’s a tap.
Old Jack is back.
England groans at that familiar sound
And falls down on her knees.

Like a light which takes away the dark,
What we knew before has now grown stark.
Good on the eye but cold on the feet;
Autumn’s goodbye as winter we meet.

Tap, tap, tap –
Old Jack is back.
