1197


Back linking today to Sunday Whirl Wordle #111



Starched Can Cans


a bee
at the throat of a blossom...
sweet rapture

wind through praire sweeps
wild flowers this way that way

eager faces...
the excitement of children
running limbs carry

choo choo..
the train of thought
another busy day

each swirl nimble needle points
in hushed halls where vaults secure

they crave
the passion of
open fields

  1. Gillena,
    you are so good at creating poems with the posted words. I've tried a few, but can't seem to get more than 3 or 4 .

  7. Nicely penned, Gillena. Beautiful bees, let's hope they survive the onslaught of pesticide that has been decimating their population. Your images are gorgeous.

  9. Oh this poem spoke to me on so many levels. I really enjoyed how you used the prompt words so sparely and yet the entire poem is lush and lovely! Thank you.http://wabisabipoet.wordpress.com/2013/06/02/flying/

  10. Hi Gillena,

    I used every word, but I had to use some twice in different haiku.

    This is a good exercise.

    prairie wind
    the nimble swirl
    of wild grass

    prairie wind
    my limbs crave
    to vault ahead

    wind blown grass
    the rapture
    of each swirl

    words stuck in my throat
    I crave being able
    to vault obstacles

    in the train of memory
    I vault through halls
    with nimble limbs
