Poetry Friday, Week 41:  Wordy 30

10/12/2022

 
PictureGraphic design by Amber Fleek
 Matt at Radio, Rhythm & Rhyme is hosting Poetry Friday this week.  Matt is sharing his exciting new book, ​  A Beginner’s Guide to Being Human (Beaming Books, 2022).

Poetry Challenge:  The Inklings are serving up: Wordy 30 is a poem using exactly 30 letters. Each line should have the same number of letters. Each line should use one word. You might have 6 lines with 5 letters in each line (like Wordle), or 5 x 6, 3 x 10, 10 x 3, 15 x 2, 2 x 15, 30 x 1, or (most unlikely) 1 x 30.
This challenge has had me falling to sleep while thinking of five letter words or six letter words for the Wordy 30.

I'd not heard of these before, but well done, Jone! I'll need to try one sometime!

Matt, Look up Mary Lee's post on it. She created it.

I enjoyed all three of your "Wordy 30" poems, Jone! My favorite is the "swirly/twirly/autumn/leaves/tumble. Beautiful imagery!

Jone: These are great! I haven't accomplished one yet, but you have encouraged me. Thanks so much.

the sound, the images, all in 30 letter! Awesome, Jone!

Well done, Jone! These are all wonderful (that cat!), but I especially love those "swirly/twirly" leaves!

You did such a great job with these, Jone. Aren't they fun to write! I really like how you paired them with images. I think my favorite is the autumn leaves one, but I might be biased because I've been so enjoying the fall foliage this year.

Jone, the feline is ready to pounce for Halloween and your Wordy 30 image poems are so descriptive about Autumn. You found fall and hope you add a couple of your poems to the Finding Fall 2022 Padlet that will turn into a gallery (https://padlet.com/cvarsalona/awz68cfim4nac1rp)

Oh, how I love those "swirly twirly autumn leaves!" I featured them in the center of my mandala this week and wrote about their smell!

I can just see your feline capturing that nuisance leaf :)
(and well done on the CANVAs!)

Nice work, Jone! I particularly liked the geese. They glide but still manage to make noise.

I can feel the fun you're having with these, Jone--my favorite is the geese with its smooth, silent start and then the "noise/alert"! I also love your shiny pumpkin ATC over at Linda's!

oh, I love the kitty! But all of these are so playful and fun!
