shadows of late afternoon
exhibited across
the melon colored wall
sitting alone
listening to silence

Welcome to WWP’s first wordle. A wordle is a tool on the Internet that creates a word cloud.
What we’re doing is to create a word list. From this word list you select the words to create a poem. Nicole’s idea of feeding our submitted prompted poems to a Word Counter (an Internet tool to pick out the most frequently occurring words in a body of text) triggered the idea of selecting three words each from poems submitted to our Thursday’s prompt to create a collaborative wordle.
Here is the word list compiled from poems submitted to Elizabeth’s Thursday prompt. Contributor’s name is given in parenthesis.
dreams, crowd, edge (Robin)
creation, motley, fabrics (Vivienne)
grouchy, giddy, wildflowers (Marian)
portal, antedilluvian, begetting (Denise)
sepia, fluid, voyeurs (Nicole)
wishes, cycle, beaming (Annell)
tail, tangled, shadow (Abby)
exultant, bowed, untrodden (Jules)
intoxicating, melancholy, stillness (Elizabeth)
sparsity, plough, wrinkles (Misky)
eats, coal, neon (Barbara)

Three of my kids and a niece on Christmas Day 2013- summer in South Africa, not a care in the world… What are they looking at? I can’t remember! Maybe with hope to 2014 arriving….
I hope 2014 treats us all like this- free and not a care in sight…
This morning’s post was all words, so here to balance the verbal with the visual is a photograph showing (yet again) a colorful flameleaf sumac, Rhus lanceolata, now with fruit prominent enough for you to see the details. As was true for some other photographs shown here recently, this one is from a thankfully undeveloped property behind Seton Northwest Hospital; the date was November 14, 2013.

Almost everyone lucky enough to visit Italy will, at some point, sample Limoncello. This lemon-flavored liqueur is often served after dinner as an aid to digestion, un digestivo, and, when properly made, Limoncello will have a strong lemony flavor without being bitter or sour like freshly squeezed lemon juice. Though many believe that the lemons that grow in and around Sorrento produce the best Limoncello, these lemons are not available here in the States. So, with no other options available, I’ve aways used “regular” organic lemons to make my Limoncello. This all changed, however, last year.
For the first time ever, Meyer lemons were available in virtually every grocery store I entered. I’d never seen so many. Having read that Meyers were as close to the famed Sorrento lemons as one can get here, I decided to use them to make my Limoncello. Remarkably, at the very same time that…

From late fall through winter and even into spring, the fluffy seedheads of bushy bluestem, Andropogon glomeratus, are a common sight on damp ground throughout central Texas. This November 19th view is from undeveloped land along US 183 in Cedar Park, a fast-growing suburb to the north of Austin.
