Travel in a space ship
off in the galaxy
you'd be surprised
at the things you will see.
A river of stars
thick like milk,
soft air, and clouds,
and a breeze like silk,
Planets of all sizes
far off in outer space
our galaxy is
and incredible place.
I couldn't think of what to write for today, so I opened the dictionary to a random page. I closed my eyes and put my finger down on the page. The word under my finger was galaxy. So, here is your challenge for today, take any book, open to a random page and put your finger down. What is the word your finger lands on? Can you write a poem about that? You are welcome to share your poem in the comments below, or just share your word. If you have trouble writing your poem, remember acrostics, haiku and cinquains.
What a fun prompt - great for kids AND grown-ups to try. Thanks for sharing your "space" today, Joy! ;0)

Hey Cory.
DeleteAre you getting lots a lovely fall photographs?
Joy,
ReplyDeleteGood idea on how to get going!
Thank you, Linda.
DeleteObviously your phrase about "get going" resonated with me. Alliteration will do that. Just look at my poem for SATURDAY.
Thanks for the inspiration.
What a great poem, and a fantastic writing prompt! :-)
ReplyDeleteJulie,
DeleteThanks for stopping by.

Hey Renee,
Thanks for sharing your word DOUBT with us. I thought about "sew" fine--from your embroidery poem. I also tried sublime for the last word, but I like so fine better. Hope you are having a great day.
