This week’s words came from a bunch of folks who have not yet been featured word-givers: Pauline, Pamela, Natalya, Melanie B, Mark, Marian V, Marian M, Jessica, J Clark, Elizabeth and Alan all donated to the cause!
To write to this prompt, pick as many (or few) of these words as you want and write a poem using them. (Yes, you may change tense! And if these words don’t suit you, pick your own. Just write a poem.) If you want to share some of your favorite words for an upcoming Read Write (Word) Prompt, head on over to the Wordle Word Bank, in the member site and contribute in our “General Words” forum or leave them on the group wire. (Whatever is easier for you.)
Hope this week’s prompt gets you going. Come back next Thursday where you can leave a link or a poem in the comments to our Get Your Poem On post.![]()

Cool…. have a framework for my poem going… and I am betting I will do my usual “steep all week and then blurt a poem, somehow, at the last moment” process….
thanks for the words…I am down in Vancouver for the Winter Olympics…soo not too sure where these words take me…however I am sure it will have an Olympics/sports edge to it..should be fun…Vancouver has such an amazing BUZZ to it now…
Deb, these Wordle Bank prompts have always intimidated me because my inclination is to try and use all the words, even though there’s no law. This week I bit the bullet and it is sooo much fun. Thanks for the prompts!
