But in the meantime, if you check their pages, you'll be sure to find some cool word prompts at Sis/Few Miles and Writer's Island. SiS/Few Miles' word today? Debris. Writer's Island 's word today? Foretell.
And with that, let me just add that I hope you find this post entertaining and fun.

Dumpster Diving
Hate to throw stuff out?
Disposophobia leads
to debris rescue.
(Disposophobia, as the name implies, means fear of throwing stuff out. And just so you know, I don't actually do dumpster diving...I just thought it was a real find as far as subject matter was concerned.)

The Fortune Teller Speaks
Prediction is very difficult, especially if it’s about the future. ~Niels Bohr
I foretell these very things:
earthquake, war and plague,
but also joy and happiness,
since I predict it vague.
The future is uncertain
and that we know for sure.
But cross my palm with silver ~
there’s more ‘nebulous’ in store.

Ha, this was great! I want to be this fun and clever in my next life! First I may need to re-examine my garbage for any lost treasures!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Spoken like a true hoarder.
ReplyDeleteDisposophobia I am sure my husband
ReplyDeletehas that:) Funny, RJ.

These were great - and the 2nd so apt to Bohr's quote.
ReplyDeleteFun one. Too many people I love have this problem. If I outlive them, I'll spend the rest of my life cleaning out.
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on both of these prompts. smiles.
ReplyDeletei am a bit squirrelish when it comes to throwing away sentimental junks. :(
ReplyDeleteloved the haiku and the poem, fortune tellers- i prefer calling them soothsayer after reading the asterix comics.

Oh, I love this Haiku a lot... great..
ReplyDeleteSomeone is Special
Haven't heard from you for a bit. Hope all is well in your corner of the writing world.
ReplyDeleteRJ, you always make me smile. Ref. to Niels Bohr was perfect. Nebulous is not an oft-used word in poetry, hooray for you! As for dumpster diving, I'm sure none of us thought you actually do that. I never have. I don't remember doing it, anyway, but then again... ;^)
