Yep--I am a day late this week with the week's prompt! (And I am always a dollar short!)
But it has a silver lining, as many mistakes do, because today Dictionary.com posted its Most Saved Words for last year. Had I posted a prompt yesterday, it would not have been hot off the press like this.
These are not run-of-the-mill words, and too many of them in one poem might be too much weight for any poem to bear.
So write a poem that uses one of these words as your title, and use that word plus one other from the list, in a poem. You can click on the link for definitions, pronunciations, etc.
The list:
pernicious
desolate
ephemeral
egregious
ostentatious
capricious
conspicuous
benevolent
ubiquitous
ambiguous
Random Side Note: I cannot hear, read, or say the word "ubiquitous" without adding "and wise"--a phrase from an old Steve Martin routine. Anyone else?
