Solar Eclipse In Libra--New Word List! Word List #18 Lunar Poetry Ritual
Poetry Prompt for the Libra Solar Eclipse (New Moon), October 14, 2023
Good morning, friends!
Today is Solar Eclipse in Libra which is a supercharged New Moon! So, you know what that means? That’s right, a new word list for the Lunar Poetry Ritual! I had the pleasure of creating this word list with my sister, yes the one who introduced me to word poems way back when! Thanks, sis!
Last month I changed the word list number from 15 words to 16 so that it would be easier to work with for four-line poetry stanzas. Was that easier for you too? I hope so!
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 #18
For the Solar Eclipse in Libra (due on the Lunar Eclipse in Taurus on October 28, 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: “he threw a small pebble, so childish was he, against the brick wall” and then I would use the next word in the list in a line after the first word, “his frown was only used to extinguish, you see, his tears which he refused to let fall”….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, which is actually a Lunar Eclipse, 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!
