Welcome back to Poppy's Prompts :)
The idea is to create a poem using one or more of the five word prompts I give you. Make them singular or plural, use the actual word or merely reference it... the specifics are up to you.
Share a link to your entries in the comment section. Also, there's been a recurring issue of comments sometimes disappearing so please check back to make sure your comment hasn't vanished, otherwise I might accidentally miss your entry.
The challenge closes 15th of March 12pm AEST. Any poems submitted after this will still be included in the complete list of entries but won't be considered for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. (Sorry for closing each of the challenges on a different day of the month each time, I'm still trying to figure out the ideal amount of time to have a challenge open.)
The Prompts:
- Hail
- Mould
- Vanilla
- Compass
- Spiderweb
❀❀❀❀❀
P.S. I don't care if you spell 'mould' the American or British way :)
Happy writing!
Bigger Screen, Bigger Freedom: Play ARC Raiders on iPad and Download StarDesk Remote
Bigger Screens and Mobile Freedom: How Tablets Are Redefining Gaming and Remote Work Mobile technology has undergone a quiet transformation over the past decade. What once served primarily as a platform for casual browsing and media consumption has evolved into a powerful tool for both entertainment and productivity. Tablets, particularly larger-screen models, now sit at the center of this shift.

I'm afraid I missed this one, too, but I always enjoy reading the amazing stories your prompts inspire! Thanks, Poppy!
I don’t know how I missed this, ugh. Can’t wait to read the entries

Hellooooo, here I am, at the final second (as normal, lol). I finally got inspiration! https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/solace-5dnw0zbt%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E You are my favorite prompt giver, Vocal Bestie. I've never felt as proud of my poetry as when I write for your prompts (no exaggeration). When I thank you, I mean it sincerely. Thank you for this challenge. ❤️

A little late in reading this...but the gears are turning... 🧐
I hadn't even realized I used on of the words until I saw your reminder. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/grandma-s-sweet-potato-pie%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
Thank you for these little spurs to write, Poppy. Really enjoying the exercises and how the help with stretch and consistency. Here's my entry: https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/where-the-healing-lives%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E Made it in plenty of time this go round.
Something finally came to me, but four out of the five words was the best I could manage. Even with two spelling options available, mold/mould didn't make the cut. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/holding-on-2l3da0bpb%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">

I have done one...for one word. I won't spoil what word it is...lol..even though it's in the url...whatever. I know what I meant. FFS. lol. Anyway...expect more...these words are good but they've been causing me to think long and hard to avoid sounding too cliched. https://shopping-feedback.today/poets/the-mould%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/span%3E%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv class="css-w4qknv-Replies">
