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.

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

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

Kayt, I’m in awe of your never-ending source of creativity!
Thanks for s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g us!

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
G. Again, Fill

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

O.K. its 12.14 PST by my clock - so I’ll be looking at the above writings for top 2 most words used and my 2 personal favorites (which is going to be nearly impossible - I like ALL of your tweets!!!)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone for all the kind words and encouragement. It means so much - I really enjoy reading & writing with you :-)

Hi Lauri - stay tuned - I’m putting to bed the largest phase of a huge photo job which I started shooting in July and finished shooting in mid October - I’ll be blogging again at least somewhat regularly soon I hope - and am planning to start with some posts about said photog gig - - & good to see you, it is really nice of you to stop by!!! :-)
