Paint Chip Poetry Free Write
My apologies to those of you waiting for today’s Paint Chip Poetry Prompt. I’m in the middle of coordinating the Oregon Christian Writers Cascade Writing Contest and it is taking much more time and energy than I thought it would. There is none left over for paint chips.
So today I’m just posting a few paint chips with no other details. It’s a free write week. Do with these three paint chips whatever you want.

The words and phrases you have at your disposal are stepping stone, grandma’s hydrangeas, and heirloom tomato.
Have some fun with this one, with no parameters to hold you back.
So there’s no poem from me this week either. I haven’t even gotten last week’s kyrielle written. When I make my way out from under the almost 200 entries we received in the contest and get them to the judges for scoring, I’ll come back to both prompts and write something.
In the meantime, I look forward to reading what you all come up with. I see some gardens in this week’s prompt, but who knows what you’ll be inspired to write.

Had a hard time with this one
Random As The Words
Without a prompt words drift
No semblance of thought
I fall off my stepping stone
Land between the cracks
Stirring up only dust
What is reality now?
Grandma’s hydrangeas only bloom in my mind
Heirloom tomatoes we never ate till it was too late
To enjoy them all together
Without a prompt words drift
I love this. Drifting can be a good thing sometimes.
Nicely done, Mary. I especially like how you incorporated the stepping stone.
Freedom can be difficult! I’m glad nothing more serious was keeping you from blogging, Linda. https://suestrifles.wordpress.com/2021/03/21/free-choice-paint-chip-poem/
Love and prayers as you help with the writers contest!
I was guessing that this week would be “L” and my mind immediately went to limerick. Here it is (sans paint chips): https://ronrowland.com/young-man-named-lott/
