The following poem was written in response to a prompt by Poets Who Blog Interactive:
Pick between 3 and 10 words from the list below. Write a poem containing those words. Post it in the comments.
fallen, explosive, ashes, steal, glint, fleeting, luminious, hunger, insatiable, inhale, reveal, morgue, moon, chord, bound, baffled, prisoner, slave, holy, remembrance, destroyed, ruins, crucify, stranded, temple, mourn, lightening, stroke
I chose to use all the words. Here goes:
A breath
Fallen explosives
have turned to ashes
and are stealing glint.
A fleeting,
luminous hunger
inhales,
insatiably.
The morgue
reveals
the moon chord,
bound, baffled,
prisoner, slave,
holy and
remembrance
of what’s
destroyed –
ruins, crucified,
stranded.
Temples,
mourning away
the lightening
stroke.
– James Steerforth
Amazing job incorpating all the words. This part is my favorite:
A fleeting,
luminous hunger
inhales,
insatiably.
Thanks for your prompt, visiting and commenting!
Wish you much success with your blog.
I thought of war, destruction, and death when I read your poem, as well as survival amid the ruins.
“War, destruction, death survival amid the ruins” – yes, that’s all there.
Writing this poem was a strange experience because much of the vocabulary was given by the prompt.
