RWP Image prompt & TOP Cinquain (attempt)





SECRET SEAT
slippy
scarlet seat sleeps
shoeshine stall smells socky
shoppers shopping still stop sometime
shoes shine

  4. Sufferin' succotash Sweet-talker!

    And the poem is in the shape of a christmas tree, to boot!

    (I would look up what Oulipian means, but I'm under too many time constraints right now.)

  7. Your cinquain slips too thanks to the alliteration.

    I don't know what I'm writing half the time and the rest of the time I haven't got a clue!

  12. Excellent! I had a hard time trying to write something for this picture; I'm impressed with what you did here. I love cinquains--they are so compact and clean.

  13. I didn't read it out loud because... clever use of the prompts and sense of the shoeshine stand. Nice!!

  14. Ha!
    I think my favorite part is the creation of the new smell word: socky!

    Super sweet syllables!

  22. Cool and slick angle of that red chair. This is not only alliterative, it's a tongue twister! Wish I was retired so I could try all these cool prompts, but reading them is a vicarious joy.

    Title is great because we don't know who has sat there once we do.
    especially liked personification "scarlet seat sleeps"
    smells socky (I caught a whiff here!)
