Well I thought this was great fun. Hopefully, someone will enjoy doing one as well.
All of the words have been taken from my most recent poems.
LOVE
is a choir of sparrows
a bloom of blush red rose buds
a waft of primavera jonquils
a burst of beautiful butterflies
a polite lunch of baked fruit
chocolate figs and iced snow flecked gin
an ardent moist silken cherry kiss
on the nape of a neck set off by a
jewelled clasp
LOVE
is walking along a country road
gazing at puffed sheep clouds
modulated warm hearted laughter
tinkling bells
a gloss moon ball glowing over
distant diamante stars in the night sky
hot urgent fiery young desire
a delicate touch to an alluring naked back
an amazing frisson of cool magic
The stuff of dreams
JOY
But still, a roll of the dice
can change everything
SNAP
SWITCH
Lightning flash, a severe storm
jet engine rumbles, wings sliced
torn apart, rapid descent, downfall
desperate attempt to open tight damaged latch
ranting, screaming like hunted prey
no escape
CRASH
A trickle of sunlight streams across the logs and branches
the tattered debris of dawn
Flotsam and jetsam softly bobbing like a slow swan gliding across a glass sea
At the bottom of the ocean, white tapered shrivelled fingers
will never know the drudgery of old age
Fine maquillaged faces have turned into foetid pap
a frieze from a grubby hippy pot market
A school of fish darts through long flowing hair
wrapped in wilted seaweed plant
Ashes to ashes
Dust to Dust
Wow. Nice switch around there. Reminds us of the fine line between happiness and pain.
ReplyDeleteRall, that is beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteYou truly have a talent for wordles.
A fine tribute to a gorgeous and handsome couple. What tragedy that family has encountered.
ReplyDeleteWish I was clever enough to do a `wordle` but I love reading them all nevertheless. Thank You.
I'll be back to read yours when I've put some sleep in the bank. I believe I got all the words in. Nice words, but there sure were a lot.

Nana, this is easier than you think. Most of the words fit together. Give it a shot. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Madame and Mary.
Barbara...I liked the words too. It makes it easier when you choose rich descriptive ones that fit together.I have used 100. Took me ages to do it.
It's addictive sort of. Couldn't leave it till I got all the words in.Pamela de Villars requested until the end of October,so you have all month to do it.I suppose a 150 (75 each) at a later date would be out of the question?
Has anyone noticed that the date of this post is an auspicious one for hitch-hiking?
ReplyDeleteHitch a ride to the galaxy i.e.
ReplyDeleteVery well done, Rall. I loved the LOVE bits particularly and admire the imagery that you have created in the last stanza. But if others, like Barbara and Doc, get theirs out so soon, I doubt I shall be able to write a word!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed this one. I did spend some considerable time choosing these words. You have until the end of October if you want to give it a shot. But,no pressure..attempt it only if you enjoy doing it.I have just had the most unpleasant experience of someone submitting a poem saying it was such rubbish that she was ashamed of putting it on her regular poetry site and yet still expecting me to accept it ...not that you or any other reasonable person could ever be that insulting.
ReplyDeleteI used a lot of words.

Stunning, Rall! I love what you've done here. It's beautiful, and sad, and exciting. I didn't want to read your 100 wordle until I finished mine. But I had to peek! I have 19 more words to fit in. Having a bit of trouble with primavera, pap, nape, maquillage, frission, a few others. Many thanks for an engrossing challenge!
ReplyDeleteTo be eligible for the prize PWF you need to use all the words. ( Sorry I did not mention this originally...was not expecting any newcomers as contestants) Chuffed that you have entered.You have all of October. Godmother will be along later on with a magnifying glass to examine your poem.I will read them all at the end of the month
ReplyDeleteand then another judge will decide the winner.
PS
No,the pyjamas are not part of the prize.
Looking forward to reading a Marianne masterpiece!
ReplyDeleteMy wordle is posted and I am feeling quite pleased with myself. The impossible has been accomplished! I managed to use all 100 words, although I discovered I need new glasses. I saw choir as chair and prey as grey, the first time around! I have made the necessary adjustments to my wordle. Now I need to make an appointment with the eye doctor.
