New Moon In Virgo--New Word List! Word List #17 Lunar Poetry Ritual
Poetry Prompt for the Virgo New Moon, September 14, 2023
Good morning, friends!
Today is the New Moon in Virgo! So, that means a new word list. I had the pleasure of creating this word list with my awesome Dad and I want to give a huge thanks to him! Thank you, Dad!
Also, I made a change to the format by adding an additional word to make the list 16 words instead of 15—I was finding that 15 words always left me hanging, probably because most of my stanzas are four lines long, so I added a word to make it a multiple of four. I hope you like the change! I think this edit is most appropriate for a New Moon in Virgo, don’t you? LOL!
If you like writing poetry, I would love to share this experience with you! You can find out how to participate in the description below.
Happy writing!

Word list #17
For the Virgo New Moon (due on the Aries Full Moon, September 29, 2023)
How to play: Below you will find this lunar 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: “She had to assemble her heart” and then I would use the next word in the list in a line after the first word, “in new ways, the effect: unfamiliar,”….and so on until all 16 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 16 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 me! If you share on social media, please use the hashtag #astromommywordpoem so we can all read our poems in one place! Thanks for participating!
