Today marks the 200th writing prompt for poetwist on Twitter. Congrats & thanks to all of you!! To celebrate this little milestone, we’re doing something a bit different than the usual.
All the info you need is in a short PDF here: poetwist200.pdf
For my blog buddies who don’t do the Twitter gig, I’d really love for you to participate too, so if you’re into this please go for it and leave your ‘tweet’ in the comments here. Remember, a tweet is a maximum of 140 characters long.
Wishing everyone a wonderful time with today’s write - I’m already looking forward to reading everything ![]()

Hi Kayt,
Congrats on the 200th :).
I managed to get 9 words into the tweet: curious, drape, bound (bind), weary, limbo, wide, trim, filling (fill), and dawn.

Right- this is brilliant, well done and thanks for your hard work. My 9 are kind, contour, draped, curtain, grip, dawn and fill.

Kayt! Congratulations on keeping all us twoets mingling and reading each other! (plus your a pretty good poet, yourself)…
For the challenge, I almost cheated and left out the #poetwist tag to fit more words in, but I figured that would be unfair…
Words (14): blind, limbo, lens, snug, color, smudge, faith, scour, flour, contour, stack, drapery, doubt, float

(10) Brief blush contours words trigger ripe stain drape hair helps
My nine + 4 = 13.
Bind flex damper triple doubt glide blind grip refuse
Wide leg novice rendezvous
Bind, flex, damper / triple doubt / glide blind into the grip of refuse / wide leg helps / it’s a novice pose / a pose for adepts #poetwist
How does one accomplish the link like Beverly has? (I’m such a newbie at all of this.)
to make a link you need to write a little html with the anchor tag - very easy, just google and you’ll find tons of instructions & examples
14 words
novice, faith, limbo, drape, curtain, doubt, spoon, wide, smudge, rain, wind, rendevous, starve, candle
Thanks Kayt for all you do - for the encouragement and the continuity! Happy Turkeys!
My first poetwist attempt. Neat challenge.

Crack! The goblet breaks | Curious, I glance through the curtain of her hair | A blush floats, then smudges her morale, brittle as it is
12 words used: crack, goblet, breaks, curious, glance, curtain, hair, blush, floats, smudges, morale, brittle
Final Word: Fun!
Very fun. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
My 14:
A. Crack
B. Limbo, spiral, synapse
c. Blush
D. Steam
E. Rain, Grip, push
F. Wind, Dawn, Float

I do this often on my own– I make up random word lists, of words I like, or words that I have a strong emotional response to, and save them for when I can’t think of something to write… this is even more fun
I cheated (of course) and did more than one. But I managed to use all 91 words, spread across 12 haiku. Thanks for the prompt, as always. @carltonhalpert #balladofbaxter
