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.

A Little Bit Pregnant

Oh swell! Now you turn
your jade eye on me, eyebrow
arched. You assign to
me your fool's gold task.

Through all pretense on my part
I am to traverse
the gravel field high
up the summer slope of things
to come and predict
what the crew will do
given all those turns of phrase
worn and lately spurned.

I won't do it, me.
You find another dim bulb.
I done eat my pudding.
