Repay the Money?

From Tad:

This is a line from a poem by my friend Halvard Johnson, that for some unknown reason triggered a creative spark in me. It's got me working on a poem. So I'll submit it as this week's prompt. Write a poem that in some way takes off from this line"

Don't you think he ought to repay the money?

Your poem does not need to actually use that line. Mine doesn't.

Alien

Okay, so I picked a prompt to go with the poem I just wrote. LOL. But anyway:

Write about aliens. Otherworldly, illegal or maybe something that is alien to you.

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
