Wild Write #002 Challenge - A Wordy Poem

[Tobias]

I saw this in another group and thought it was a fun way to challenge those poets amongst us.

In A Wordy Poem , I will write a list of words and you need to come up with a poem that includes all of the words.

Are you up for the challenge?

Here are the words:

1. Green
2. Soul
3. House
4. Roll
5. Lean
6. Capture
7. Vision
8. Fire
9. Armour
10. Sight

Here's my Wordy Poem.

VENGENCE

(view spoiler)[A vision of fire and armour,
The warriors roll out - A lean, mean fighting machine,
The capture of the Lord of the House began this,
The warriors would see its end.
The battle is a bloody and brutal sight,
The grass, once green, now a crimson red.
The warriors do not leave a soul standing. (hide spoiler)]

[Viv]

Yours was great, Tobias. I wrote one myself.

THE LOVERS

(view spoiler)[She was a vision in green,
Her beauty would capture the soul of any man.
He was the man of the house,
Strong and lean, he'd roll up his sleeves and get the job done.
Together they were a sight to behold,
A passionate fire, no armour between them.
They were the lovers. (hide spoiler)]

Great poem, Viv! Love it.

[Jessica]

Tobias and Viv - what great poems! I'll post mine shortly. Have to have a think first. :)

[Travis]

Here's mine!

OUR EARTH

(view spoiler)[A house on fire
Nowhere left to retire,
Money is lean,
Head for the forest green.
Take out the bed-roll,
The sky, the stars - not a soul.
Living the life, without drama,
Watching the world without armour.
Capture the beautiful sight,
A vision of something that's made right. (hide spoiler)]

Great job, Travis!

[Jessica]

I've finally got around to writing one. I hope it's okay that I used the words with different endings (i.e. capture as captures, roll as rolling). Anyway, I've called this poem:

TROUBLED HEART

(view spoiler)[My soul captures the fire burning beneath the armour.
It is a vision of green, rolling out envy and hate.
My inner house will continue to lean towards darkness, until the sight of love finds its way back in. (hide spoiler)]

This is great, Jess. You've got some excellent imagery here.
