Ten Words
| by Norman Dengate |
| The
challenge on this occasion
was to write a poem which included ten words randomly suggested by
members of the group. The ten words were as follows; agree - beautiful - believe - expedition - forget - formualtion - grace - robust - sunshine - tripe |
In November we were given Ten words to use just how we chose
I gave a lot of thought to this, whether poetry or prose? You’ll AGREE the choice of words was ROBUST, and verse needs FORMULATION So BELIEVE me I’ve tried my best,. to FORGET my nerves and hesitation My thoughts by now have spread wide, what is the best decision ? Thinking BEAUTIFUL thoughts just will not help, nor result in EXPEDITION My thinking is distracted now, by the view across the gardens The GRACEFUL trees swaying in the breeze, and SUNSHINE, the last ere winter hardens One word to go, I must decide, the end’s in sight, ‘Thank God’ But I’d rather be in the countryside, with my camera and TRIPE-od © Norman Dengate |
