I was convinced for a while that I’d have to leave a few of the words out, but I persevered. 🙂 Such a satisfying feeling, to have it all come together finally!
ROLF!! I crack up laughing when I saw that you use Lady Lazarus. Managed to write a line that similar to the one she uses in the poem. Like her, it’s about life and kinda epic in length. So much for writing a short one this week.
Okay – now at least I can understand a bit why for the first time the words did not speak to me until just now… AFTER posting I read where they had originated – I think attempt 3 feels right to me 🙂 Back later to read – couldn’t leave until I posted something that felt better than my first two attempts !
Elizabeth, I tried leaving a comment on your site and then tried again but I don’t seem to be having much luck there. Sorry if two comments show up at some point. 🙂

Better late than never, I guess! Wonderful collection of words.

Brenda, would you mind adding me to the Friday “early words” e-mail list? jasminecalyx@hotmail.com
Done. 🙂
‘sticky’ was a stickler but we managed:) Really enjoyed this grouping!
Not my best, but this is what came of these words: http://mywordsarealive.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/sticks-and-stones/
Here’s my attempt for this week: http://thisgirlremembers.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/on-becoming/

And she’s in! I was thinking, I know these words… and then I wrote the poem and looked…Sylvia Plath! Brilliant! http://veronicaroth.com/?p=2674
Oops, I accidentally wrote for the wrong list. 🙂 Here is last week’s (apparently), in case you’re interested. It’s pretty good.

Off to check out the right list. 😛
Thanks!
The title speaks to how these words affected me: Wired and Inspired

Good words again this week. I was surprised at the source. Looking forward to reading poems.

I went with the legend of Catrina in Mexico. Well, more or less. Thanks for the words, Brenda.

This was a tough list. My non story verse went dark, be fore-warned:

Where does dark lead…to the evil dark side – so I added onto Acheron’s chapter here:

I’m glad I didn’t know where the words came from, it would have messed with my ability to make them speak of other things. Thanks Brenda,
Elizabeth

Me too Elizabeth! So true. 🙂

Brenda- the words are not showing up for me. Could be just me.
Sorry Teri. Here they are:
pearls, bone, linen, skin, filaments, sticky,
air, beware, art, call, knocks, cell, charge
