Random Words

Random. Words.

Today's theme is no theme, because there were so many words with which to contend.  So, instead, I went random.

Three Word Wednesday's words are "dainty, tantalize and haunting,"  We Write Poems' words are a 10-Word Wordle using words from Gordon Lightfoot's Don Quixote.  The March Challenge's word is 'exploration' in honor of the birth of Amerigo Vespucci, who (in other words) came into the world in 1454.

The first poem is a 5/7/5 Haiku, the second is - well, I don't know but it has words and it rhymes - and the third is a double Wreathed Sestet.

Curiosity Doesn’t Always Have to End in a Bad Way for Cats or Writers

“Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.” ~E.L. Doctorow

Curiosity

gets us to explore new words

as if we were cats.

O Wicked Little Sirens

Dainty mini pastries

sit in a sweet box on

my kitchen counter top.

They know my name and they

tantalize me.  Haunting.

I eat them all nonstop.

Prophesy in Dreams

I dreamt I saw a saddlebag,

and this strange saddlebag was filled

with a Windmills' Tavern bar rag,

a flag, a book on hawks, distilled

ocean water (chilled) - and a tag

in the bag said, “The Prophet’s Guild.”

A drunkard from the tavern showed

out of the blue (the code of dreams)

and said, “It seems this would but bode

quite well.”  Then he strode away.  Schemes

of themes get tarnished on the road

when owed to the valley of dreams.
