Each week, I post three words. You write something using the words.

Then come back and post a link to the contribution with Mr. Linky (but please, link to the exact post, not your blog, by clicking on the exact post title and paste it to Mr. Linky below). As always, there's no hard-and-fast rule that you have to post on Wednesday.

This week's words:

Idle; Nagging; Pace


One Too Many Words

It was no idle
time and she wasn't nagging
either. I had just
picked my poem's pace
and sallied forth in adverbs,
in nouns and round verbs
building two five lines
and one seven in order,
some kind of order.
That's how I do things
these days, waiting for the ball
to drop, the sky to
fall.

    1. So often what I do or don't realize is not the same as the story I tell. Thanks for your visit, Jae. Happy New Year to you too.

    1. When it hits I hope it doesn't shatter like a mirror.

  3. Several months, now. Blogger catches all the spam. I have to delete perhaps ten spam posts a day but at least they don't succeed in getting on blog posts directly. They wait for me, the huge majority in the spam box, with occasional spam comments in the pending approval collection.
