This week let’s do another three random words prompt. I rolled the dice and got “especially”, “sale” and “spirit”. Write a poem using all three words and post the result in the comments below.

Charity ball is a perfect sale network opportunity
especially for semi drunken business representatives
All deals achieved spring from seemingly innocent chitchatting
in the high spirit of supporting those in need

BRING IN THE NOISE!
SUPPORT YOUR TEAM!
I painted the letters
in dirty green and bubble gum pink
on the backs of sale posters.
Damn this cheap paint.
All this economic distress
makes it hard to pep anyone up.
Still, the Highland Hornets
are going to fly tonight.
especially our star Hunter Mackly.
He was worth all the trouble.
RAH RAH SIS BOOM BAH.

Posted by Chris Clarke | February 8, 2021, 10:36 AMThe “bargains” version is a better poem but this one qualifies for the prompt. Don’t forget the prompt is only the start. It can become a great poem even without the three words.

Posted by Bartholomew Barker | February 8, 2021, 6:06 PMWhat I found is that I always pronounce “sale” with two syllables (sA-le), and most people say it one… so in my head sale still made it a haiku Great prompt for me!..

Posted by Chris Clarke | February 8, 2021, 7:12 PMShopping is the last thing I enjoy
some people are spirited that way
they love to shop and plan big trips
if have no issues around their thing
but find me a sale on ice cream,
especially the king I like,
and used books and coffee,
and I am ready to go
of course there is the internet
then, let the sales begin

Posted by Bartholomew Barker | February 8, 2021, 6:03 PMI walked into town to stretch my legs a bit
Especially on such a beautiful day
Just to window shop, which is my way
Of saving money or at least not spending
But one shop called me to a huge, lucky sale
I knew it would lift my spirit, never does it fail
And help this small business, too.

Posted by purplestoneblog | February 8, 2021, 8:47 AMAww that’s the spirit! I used to like window shopping, but over the years, it quit appealing to me. Now, if I go to the mall, it’s to walk or get one focused thing. When I was a kid, I could spend hours in a Ben Franklin store.
