This week uses words offered by Barbara, Nicole, Marian V., Mark S. and Rallentanda
To write to this prompt, pick as many (or few) of these words as you want and write a poem using them. (And if these words don’t suit you, pick your own. Just write a poem, or two.)
Enjoy the week’s words, no matter which ones you use.

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.

This week’s words were offered up by community members Joanne Johns and Neil Reid. In addition to some of the words they left in our Wordle Word Bank, I purloined an extra word from each of their blogs, grabbing just one from their last post.

This week brings a different kind of Read Write (Word) Prompt. These words are from the first stanza of one of my favorite poet’s work. I’ll tell you who it is, and give you a link to the poem these words are derived from next week, in the Get Your Poem On post. (I know. I’m a tease. It’s from writing sexy poems this week, so don’t blame me. OK?)

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!
