Hello Saturday. Get ready for your Suddendeath poetry challenge. Remember, use all 5 words (any tense or version of the word is just fine), and write it in under an hour or one sitting. Feel free to post your's up on your page, then come back here and post up a link so we can all find and enjoy too. Today's Words: rotation, joystick, gloom, neglect, rise Mine is below: Birds in the air rotating around, rising on winds, above the ground. They fly during the day avoiding the gloom, looking for bugs who are hidden in blooms. Never neglecting to look for the cat, who sits in waiting ambush all sleek and all fat. Wings are their joysticks as around they do dart beautiful and feathered, a true work of art.
