Today is actually the 4th of August - for which date we have the prompt Lonely.
But I erroneously used this prompt July 28th. The prompt then should have been Building, the last from Mimi and me. It seems this prompt disappeared as we went from June to July.
And as promised I'll write a poem next Monday - today - with Building as a prompt. And from now I promise to be more careful in my copy/pasting of prompts - be it for Poetry Monday or for Words for Wednesday!

Kære læsere, som I måske kan læse på engelsk, klokkede jeg i det og rodede rundt i stikordene for i dag og sidste mandag. Derfor bruger jeg nu i dag det stikord, Building - Bygge eller bygning, som jeg skulle have brugt sidste mandag. Det er sket lidt for tit på det seneste, så jeg lover at være mere forsigtig fremover.
Til gengæld kommer der ikke noget digt på dansk lige nu. Jeg har plukket blommer, og de nærmest mugner mens jeg putter dem i gryden, så jeg skal lige tage mig af de sidste inden sengetid.
Mandagsdigtet er en blogleg, som Mimi fra Messymimi's Meanderings og jeg har overtaget - midlertidigt håber vi - fra Diane, der slapper af og rejser verden rundt med sin mand. Vi håber hun er parat til at tage over igen, når hun kommer hjem.
For at kunne fortsætte denne blogleg uden at overanstrenge os selv – vi vil skrive digte og fjolle lidt rundt, ikke rive os i håret over at have glemt at finde nye på stikord - har Mimi og jeg besluttet at vi fra den 4. august hægter os på gruppen 365 Days of Drawing Prompts and other Arts. Det er en Facebook-gruppe, der udgiver et stikord til hver dag i året, men bare rolig, stikordene vil stadig være at finde både her og på Mimis blog.

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.
In order to to continue this challenge and not overexert ourselves - we want to write poems and goof around a bit, not spend time pulling out our hairs over forgetting to find new prompts - Mimi and I have decided to latch onto the 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.
I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the poetry of others via the links, would you please leave a comment.
Half - if not more - the fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
Today's subject - in my world - is Building.
They're building a shed
it is white, green, and red.
I wait for the finish
for windows and door.
Our mess will diminish
When there we can store
our bikes and our tools
our ladders and stools.
Our apples in crates
and hang our skates
in their laces:
There'll be smiles on our faces.

Your poem put a smile on my face. Yes, your building will come in very handy.
SvarSletThank you, almost there. Tomorrow - hopefully - they'll put in the last big haul, then we wait for windows and door to arrive and for small missing items the name of which I am too lazy to look for in English - someting for water spouts at least.
SletI like buildings, old, new and underconstruction.
SvarSletI mostly do too, some new buildings leave me less enthusiastic, but the building process is fascinating.
