New Moon in Leo Activation-Lunar Poetry Slam
Word List #4 posted July 28; poem due August 11, 2022
Welcome to the New Moon in Leo Activation-Monthly Lunar Poetry Slam!
Below you will find the word List for word poem #4 (posted July 28 on the New Moon). Our finished poems are due on the full moon in Aquarius on August 11, 2022.
If you are new here, Welcome! Please read this previous post where I explain what a word poem is and tell the story of how I started writing word poems.
If you are already part of the AstroMommy community, thanks for being here! I invite you to participate in this lunar ritual with me. Thank you to those who have been sharing their poems (you know who you are) I have loved reading each and every one of them!
For a list of all the word poems in one post, go here.
Here are the instructions and this month’s word poem list.
Instructions
How to play: Below you will find this month’s word list—from it you are to write a poem using the exact words listed in the order they are in. For example, the opening to my poem might be: The direction of his gaze, gave my heart a startle…and so on, until all 15 words have been used. There is no limit to the length of your poem or to how many words are in between the words in the list. There are no other rules, just use all 15 words as they are (do not change their tense or add suffixes to them) and in the order presented.
Next full moon, I will share the poem that I write, here on Substack, and if you’d like you can share your poem with the community by posting it in the comments section of that post or you may share it with me privately, by sending it in a reply email. If you share on social media, use the hashtag #astromommywordpoem.
Thanks for participating!
A special thanks goes out to my husband for helping me generate this month’s word list! Thanks, honey!
