Written for: dVerse Poets Pub - Compound Me! (posted by Lillian) "Today, I want you to compound me! BUT, there’s several tricks/requirements to this prompt. . I want you to choose at least one compound word from the list below to use in your poem. You may choose to use more. AND . FOR EACH COMPOUND WORD YOU DO USE, I want you to take apart the compound word within your poem. You can do that by a) putting the first half of the compound word at the end of a line and the second half of the compound word immediately at the beginning of the next line OR b) by separating the two halves of the compound word with punctuation. You MUST separate the two root words that make up the compound word. . You may NOT put additional words between the two root words, and you may NOT add a letter to either of the root words. . In other words, the root words must be used exactly as they appear in the compound word!" Here’s the list you can choose from: crosswalk handshake armpit underestimate goodnight honeydew earthquake cartwheel moonlight showoff waterproof moonwalk nightlight midnight hotdog daytime starfish sunburn He acted the fool, making her cross. Walking away was her best move. Summer afternoon proved hot. Dog refused to walk. Like drops of honey, dew delicately topped roses. Face in the full moon? Light playing tricks. She stood under bright stars fishing for a compliment. https://dversepoets.com/2022/05/17/compound-me/
