Today’s prompt is to use at least three of these words in a poem: lagoon, plunder, artifact, wobble, relent, horrendous. I love these. They pull me out of my ruts.
After the relentless storm and plunder,
after the horrendous calm,
she searches the silent pools,
she scours the quiet caves of the lagoon,
she watches the gulls winging down the beach,
seeking for surviving artifacts
shining fragments that glint in the sunlight,
pearls scattered in the glistening sands.
The hunt for the missing pieces
occupies her haggard attention
and draws her thoughts away from the loss.
Salvage becomes her salvation.

Love what you made out of them! Where do you get the word list from?
Years ago you could do Poetry in Motion online, kind of like magnets of words you could put on the fridge but this was online. Everyday they gave you a new set of words and you could only use those words for your poem. I did it for quite a while and saved my poems. I dug them out recently to play with and work on and some of them were pretty good poems.

Hi Marysu! the list comes from prompts that Robert Lee Brewer offers every day during November. You can click on the word “prompt” in the post to go to his site. He writes the Poetic Asides blog for Writer’s Digest.
Some of my favorite poems have come from incorporating random words into poems like this. It pushes me out of my standard vocabulary of wings and stones and breezes.
