Wondrous Words: Words I Didn't Expect to Find in a Poem, Or, You Can Put Anything, Literally Anything, Into Verse




In honor of National Poetry Month





Wondrous Words Wednesday is a weekly meme where you can share new words that you’ve encountered, or spotlight words you love.  Feel free to get creative! It was first created by Kathy over at Bermuda Onion and is now hosted at Elza Reads.

    I saw this was in Greek, and immediately deleted it...thinking it was spam. And then I went to Google Translate. So I will restore what was written. Apologies!

    Οι λέξεις είναι το ανώτερο όργανο δημιουργίας.

    Το μπλογκ σας είναι πολύ αξιόλογο.

    Χαιρετισμούς από την Ελλάδα.

    Translation:

    Words are the highest organ of creation.

    Your blog is very valuable.

    I never thought about that but magnetic poetry does have some unusual choices!

      My little box of magnetic poetry pictured is a themed box of happy words. I pulled these from a collection of poems I have saved in a Google Doc.

    Can you imagine the epic poem that has even a fraction of these words?

      I'm not sure I could write a poem with any three of these!

    Vicki, I keep a file of poems I love. I browsed through the poems and pulled a word or two from each one.

    A true poet can make poetry out of anything, any word. It's just the way they think.

    I can imagine mask and plague have been used in poetry a lot over the last year. This was a fun post, Deb.

    This is quite fun. I am often shocked at words I find in poems.
