Poetry Monday :: Fungi

Beklager, ikke noget på dansk i dag


Poetry Monday
- what's that? It is a blogging game, that Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings and I have taken over the hosting duties, mostly the supplying of the prompts - only temporarily we hope - while Diane at On the Border is taking a break for health and relaxation, travelling the world with her husband as far as we can tell.  We just hope she's going to take back over once she returns home.

The prompts now come from 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts group. This is a Facebook group with a prompt for each day of the year, but no worries, the prompts will still be here and at Mimi's blog.

Today's prompt:
Fungi

Mushrooms are fungi,
but fungi aren't mushrooms
at least not all of them
Cause yeast and mould are fungi too
And eating them I will not do
Toadstools are fungi
But edible they're not
And mostly they're pretty
with colours bold and hot.
We like to depict them
on cards at Christmas time.
Be careful, don't pick them
Enjoy them in their prime.

Dagens gæst ~ A pretty Guest

 

Jeg tror der skal købes flere fuglekugler i dag.   I think I'm going to buy more lard balls today.

Words for Wednesday December 17 ~ So far only the Words.

The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over as a moveable feast with many participants supplying the Words.
    When Delores closed her blog forever due to other problems, Elephant's Child (Sue) took over the role of coordinator.
    Now, after Sue's demise it is still to be discerned who will take over this role, River is doing it for the rest of 2025, but maybe Lissa will eventually be our new coordinator.

No matter what, how, where or who the aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to our mind.

This month the words are supplied byWiseWebWoman and can be found at River's blog.

If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please leave a comment on River's blog, then we can come along and read it and add a few encouraging words.

 It is also a challenge, where the old saying "The more the merrier" holds true.

So Please, remember to follow the links, go back and read other peoples' stories. And please leave a comment after reading. Challenges like this one thrives on interaction, feedback and encouragement. And we ALL need encouragement.

We were given these words:
Greek  
Salad  
Sausage  
Concrete
    and/or:
Peninsula  
Symphony  
Pinafore  
Pirate
