We Wordle #10
Welcome back, poets, for the tenth edition of We Wordle! This week’s words are mined from poems submitted to Irene’s prompt of March 5, “Shell“. Three words have been selected from each poem.
Contributors and their words:
Rosyln: sanctuary, soul, knowing
Debi Swim: spiral, vapor, carapace
Barbara: honeysuckle, rain, year
Jules: eggshells, drums, demons
Marian: roots, chrysalis, wings
Nicole: seafoam, hookah, witches
Abby: angels, blue, truth
Irene: curvature, cathedral, votives
Benjamin: filament, cocoon, stoic
Elizabeth: fortune, inky, nurture
Barbara (poem 2): nightmares, kimono, geisha
De: tangles, bloom, stripes
Hear ye, hear ye! These be the rules for playing:
1) You are not required to use all the words in the word list. If you want to, that’s entirely up to you.
2) One helpful possibility: generate associations and meaning from the words you see.
3) Feel free to change the tense or form of the word.
If you’re feeling stuck, try:
1) juxtaposing the words
2) think of alliteration, assonance and consonance
3) Find a framing device for the words you see, like another prompt for triggering your flow of thought. You can try Qweekly’s Monday prompt or any other prompt on the Internet.
And yes, the Wordle is green because of St. Patrick’s Day. Happy St. Patty’s, to those who celebrate! The picture links back to the original Wordle, but I recreated it in GIMP using a nice Celtic-style font (Uncial Antiqua for those interested — no pun intended 🙂 ).
Sláinte!

Thank you for the prompt! I loved it!
I forgot my site address: http://somethingsithinkabout-annell-annell.blogspot.com
I can’t leave comments on your blog so I’ll leave them here. I’m impressed with your use of the words, and all of those little sensory details. The second stanza – those drums like “angels chanting for relief” – is amazing. I read your poems and I miss the desert all over again.

I couldn’t leave my comment on your blog, so I’ll post it here. Not only you used all of the words but you also rhymed too? Most impressive.
Yes, I had that with one site and not with the others. Not sure why.
Nice Celtic touch, Nicole. Made up a story here
Yeah, baby is right!
Yeah, baby! Indeed. And impressive use of the words.

It’s amazing how our brains weave all those nightmares. Nice use of the words.

Impressive write about the rainforest, especially the “forest person” so balanced and brightly orange above it all.
Pretty sure I left some out, but not going back for them if they’re too lazy to catch up.

Of course, that’s what so nice about the words. You use them like colors and tinctures. Which means whole new artworks of possibility from the same cadre of colors.
Limping all the way here:

Lilith is so fascinating. And so is how you used those words.
I’m here:
Very impressive use of the words. I like this cluster of gems.
Beautiful, how you tie scent with memory.
Thank you to those of you who responded to the initial prompt supplying us with these words…thank you for pooling them host.
Here’s mine:

A beautiful, heartfelt tribute. I really liked this.
Thank you so much.
I cannot work out how to leave a reply on your page Hannah so shall do it here. Beautifully done. A lovely weaving of words and wordling.
Thank you so much for leaving me a comment here, rosross…I’m sorry if there was confusion on my site for leaving a comment.
Love these words… http://coyotemercury.com/2014/03/17/3-17-14/
Apart from the fun of the prompt it is wonderful to see what everyone does with the words.
Long time no see. Enjoyed your poem.
Thanks. It’s good to resurfacing a little.

Because ‘one’ person thought it would make a good continuation…
49 words and one haiku 🙂
Glad you continued the story, Jules. This is fascinating.
Here’s link to my first attempt at a response to a prompt from We Write Poems. Really enjoying exploring this site. http://puffofsmokepoems.com/2014/03/20/plans-for-the-future/
Welcome to WWP. I enjoyed reading your poem.
I enjoyed writing it. Looking forward to visiting We Write Poems often.
