This week let’s write a poem with the words autumn, bright and island in it. This is another of those prompts where I randomly choose three words from a list of the top 1000 words in the English language plus a few of my favorites. Post your poems in the comments below.
(Since the September Equinox is tomorrow, I forced Autumn into the word list. If you’re in the Southern Hemisphere, use “Spring” instead.)
