Just an idea, to see how similar the poems are that are inspired by this random selection of words. I’ve written a short poem, and I’ll add it to this post later.
Sea-storm
Spray flies,
canvas cracks in the wind,
rotten stays snap,
this ship a meal for angry waves.
Moon’s bland light
dances on wave tips
with all the weight of indifference,
the slow hiss of dislocation.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
It is probable
that we
would enjoy lunch –
the slow warmth of bread,
the glamorous flavor of strawberries ,
one glorious glass of wine –
a bubble rising –
summer lifting
the weight of winter
from our necks.
I like it, Sarah!
I like this! That last image is so good. Nothing like what I got, which proves nothing of course.
What a lovely image, Sarah!
This is lovely, Sarah.
It is, isn’t it? Sarah saw summer bliss where the rest of us saw storm and violent seas!
So she did and wrote a verse that gladdened hearts.
You’re right, it did xx
🙂
OK. I wrote a quick one and posted it.
You were peeping 🙂
Nope! I didn’t see yours was up!
I believe you. Thousands wouldn’t.
😊
I didn’t know you were posting your poem on the same post.
It’s a clumsy way of doing it, but it seemed so cloak and dagger to propose sending a set of words by email!
No, it was fine. I’m just saying I didn’t see your poem till you mentioned it was up. 😀
We could do this again, now we know that the Oracle knows about this site too 🙂 Your turn next.
OK. Sounds good. 😊
I read posts backwards in my reader, which would not be how to participate in this. Perhaps if you do it again my timing will be better. (K)
As an experiment, it was interesting. The words themselves are very neutral, ordinary, so it’s all in what they suggest. I was hoping you’d see the post and join in. Of the four poems, three were dark and stormy, and one was the complete opposite, summer and strawberries. We’ll do it again.
I have no real schedule to my life, but hopefully my timing will be right next time.
Next time, we’ll organise it better.
This is wonderful, Jane. Couldn’t help responding to it. 🙂
Here’s the link.

I’m pleased you did!
Thank you.
