Oct. 5 Prompts: Every Word a Treat

Fear of natural disasters: For today’s poem think of the extreme weather that scares you the most (You don’t have to have experienced it). Why is it the most frightening? Imagine experiencing this weather event. Write about all of your sensory experiences. Is this weather event a metaphor for something else you are afraid of?

Today’s suggested form is a Rondeau. Check out “We Wear the Mask” by Paul Laurence Dunbar for an example of a Rondeau.

Today’s image prompt is another character; this time a dancer. Fire in water is something that I find horrifying like burning buildings in a flood.

The images at the top of this post are the photos I took for “Treat” in 2021 and 2022. In 2021 I was about to treat myself to making squash soup and put a bokeh jack-o-lantern face on the squash. In 2022 I created an inkblot bokeh filter. Come back later today to see how I treat “treat” this year.

Please link to your creations in the comments. I can’t wait to see what you come up with.
