WOW
Let's Twist to...A NEW WOW POETRY CHALLENGE!
Choose any one of this week's (WOW) Vocabulary Words:
(PERT, DIGRESS, PERUSAL or BON MOT) and apply it to your poem. Here is the twist. You must find as many words as you can within the WOW you choose and apply all your found words into your poem. You may write up to 12 lines but NO MORE THAN 12. You may choose to rhyme if you so desire though it is not required. If you are not sure what the definitions are for each word, please look it up on this week's post. If you get stuck in trying to find words within the WOW, there are two great sites if you search on Google, like Word Maker or All Scrabble.

BEGINS TODAY (June 28, 2023) and ENDS SUNDAY, (July 2, 2023).
Looking forward in reading your great work!
FASHION SENSE
Her charismatic beauty compelled me to WEND my perspective
About
fashion trends that DIGRESSED in recent years, away from conservative style of dressing.
I am
firm and STOLID by not conforming to the whims of women in society.
I frowned
upon their glitterati temperament of endless demand in emulating the Hollywood
glamour,
Who snubbed
their mediocrity in fashion sense which to me is rather a
SELCOUTH.

#WOW: DIGRESS, SELCOUTH, STOLID, WEND
ILA MAGAZINE - WOW Poetry Challenge:
The "WALTMARIE" - a two-in-one poem invented by Candice Kubinec.
**
It is a ten-lined poetic form
**
ODD LINES have NO SPECIFIC SYLLABIC COUNT, which means, the poet can write in as many syllables as he/she desires
**
EVEN LINES are written in 2 SYLLABLES, only.
**
The even lines create a "mini-poem" if read apart.
**
There are no rules for rhyme or subject - the option is left for the poet to choose whether to rhyme or not
**
The poem is usually titled but this is left for the poet to choose.
**
ODD LINES: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
EVEN LINES: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
**
EXAMPLE OF MY POEM (I only used one of the wows yet poets must use ALL 4).
*
"ETCHED ON A TREE"
Should I digress on something I least desire
Before
I utter with myopic stance which I may be intolerant of
or more
Expressing proverbial logic in a cloud of words that fog
in time
traversing through a squall of reasons and of rhyme
My brain
unshackling new strength I have inside me now
feels free.

**
THIS IS A WOW CHALLENGE, so you MUST TRY TO APPLY all 4 words: (DIGRESS, STOLID, SELCOUTH, WEND), to be considered as a “BEST ENTRY”, which I will choose (several), shortly after this challenge ends.
**
BEGINS NOW (12-14-23)
ENDS TUESDAY (12-19-23)

GOOD LUCK, POETS!
