Written for: Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads – Weekend Challenge – Get Listed!
With A Mystery Guest – (posted by Kerry)
We are in the final season of this wonderful Imaginary Garden, as 2019 draws to its conclusion and, with this in mind, I asked a very special friend of the Toads to share one of her fabulous and famous Word Lists for the last Get Listed writing challenge.
This mystery guest wishes to retain her anonymity, but she has been a long-time blogger, who has her own special, magical way of appearing in many whimsical disguises, like Alice recreating her own unique Wonderland. I am most thankful for her support and artistic approach to poetry over the many years of my blogging experience and thrilled to share her eclectic selection of words with everyone today.
To participate in this challenge please select THREE or MORE words from the list and write an new poem inspired by the images they suggest.
onyx
groan
lemon
sticks
elocution
shelves
cinnamon
Twix
risperidone
Nyx-door
warden
plunge
esthesis
Lemon bars tickle by fancy
TWIX sticks can be broken in two
Cinnamon scent is hearty
Oh, how I groan at a choice cashew.
Do not prescribe Risperidone
just because I like several treats.
Buy me some onyx and peridot
earrings, and I might give up some sweets.
This deserves a round of applause! I love the whole vibe of the poem. Very well done.

Made me grin. I’m not sure though that onyx and peridot earrings would be enough – ever.
