PROMPT #202
Let’s play around with words a little today. Yeah, we do it everyday, but let this word play be a word game.
Unforgettable
One can extract forget, table or able from this word.
I give you three more
- Languish
- Shipwreck
- Customer
You can even change the order of alphabets (like ‘peck’ from shipwreck, or ‘route’ from customer).
Choose any one of the four options given above.
- Mention the original word and your derived word.
- Use it in the piece you write.
- Publish on your blog.
- Copy paste the link in Comments here
Wait for the engagement to happen
➰➰➰
I choose; Languish
My word; Anguish
Anguish
A sharp pain I felt
Like a dagger plunged
Deep into my heart
The anguish, the agony unbearable
I teetered, held out my hand for support
It met empty air………
There was no one there
To hold my hand, to console
This aloneness has taught me a lot
A valuable lesson to rely
Only on myself and myself alone
The pain still hurts sometimes
But the anguish has died down
My courage has lulled it to sleep
➰➰➰

Thanks Jim! It’s a bit different this week. But I think if you think about it, it’s simple enough. But it does ensures that all entries are different.

I skipped it this week, but this is something that I usually try to write something for.

Thank you so much Deb. When I started writing poems, I read somewhere that the ending of a poem should be the crowning glory, and I try to do that.

All your lines superbly describe anguish, but I LOVED that last line especially. When a person can find the strength to overcome any detrimental situation/feelings, that is to be applauded! Wonderful, Sadje!
