Christmas Prompt

I decided for Christmas that we would do a joint prompt. I asked on my FB page for one holiday word per poet. I think everyone who responded actually IS a poet, but many don't post here. I am hoping they will give this prompt a try because they contributed to the prompt. Here's the whole list.

Pick AT LEAST five words from the list to write a poem. It can, but does not have to, be about the holiday season.

present   - Meghan Elizabeth Robb 
snow      - Victoria Rivas 
wreath    - Tad Richards 
yuletide  - Bonnie Johnson 
family    - Priscilla Tennant Herrington 
holly     - David Mclean 
Bethlehem - Linda Rivas Bole 
unspoken  - Mar Walker 
tree      - Paul Bole 
symbolism - Suzy Lamson 
singular  - Bob Tuttle 
good will - Suzanne Niedzielska 
joy       - Anindya Ganguly

Lost in a Book

From Linda:

Write a poem about being lost in a book, literally or figuratively

Rates

From Tad:

Write a poem suggested by one of the following:

• Weekly rates
• Daily rates
• Hourly rates

I have no idea what I will do with this, or what anyone will do with it.

Sound of Silence

And the vision that was planted in my brain
still remains
within the sounds of silence

Describe silence and tell me what silence means to you. How do you hear it? Silence can be anything or everything depending on whether you enjoy silence or need distractions from the silence.

I apologize for the late post but I have been in the hospital for months and didn't realize the updates had been changed from wednesday to sunday.

Weather Or Not

From Tasha:

It is truly said if it weren't for the weather people would have nothing to talk about. I propose the subject Weather Or Not.
