WORD FISHING
I applied to join your fanclub
Who knows which way it will take me
First I slide down the undersides
Then I get back into the groove
I’m really moving oh so slick
Automatic pilot now girl
There’s no need to heed the warnings
Flying high above the city
You alone are my camouflage
I’m so glad you let me join you
Word fishing in another world

Good use of the prompt words - and a dark-ish suggestion that we can hide behind our heroes to justify our actions - or just to hide.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the prompt was/is the thing here it is simply an exercise.
ReplyDeleteI came originally from the north west and I really enjoyed this, especially the way you turned the prompt back on itself.
ReplyDeleteThanks Watermaid!
ReplyDeleteI did not go for fishing but I went for internal rhyming.
ReplyDeleteSomeday
Thanks Gautami, I think I just needed the exercise! perhaps..
ReplyDeleteNice use of the prompt. But, I kinda doubt there's much word fishing going on here. More like getting down to the fun stuff. Well done. Have a nice day.
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, I always thought fishing was meant to be fun!
ReplyDeleteThis has some great rhythm in it.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of fishing for words in another world, above the clouds.
ReplyDeleteBrilliantly done.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nathan!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine, it's weird isn't it?
Hi Dave, many thanks for the comment.
I like the idea you've used for word fishing in the last line and you've responded to the prompt very creatively.
ReplyDeleteThanks Crafty Green!
