Welcome back to Poppy's Prompts :)
The idea is to create a poem using one or more of the five word prompts I give you. Make them singular or plural, use the actual word or merely reference it... the specifics are up to you.
Share a link to your entries in the comment section. Also, there's been a recurring issue of comments sometimes disappearing so please check back to make sure your comment hasn't vanished, otherwise I might accidentally miss your entry.
The challenge closes 15th of March 12pm AEST. Any poems submitted after this will still be included in the complete list of entries but won't be considered for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place. (Sorry for closing each of the challenges on a different day of the month each time, I'm still trying to figure out the ideal amount of time to have a challenge open.)
The Prompts:
- Hail
- Mould
- Vanilla
- Compass
- Spiderweb
❀❀❀❀❀
P.S. I don't care if you spell 'mould' the American or British way :)
Happy writing!

I'm afraid I missed this one, too, but I always enjoy reading the amazing stories your prompts inspire! Thanks, Poppy!
I don’t know how I missed this, ugh. Can’t wait to read the entries
Oh damn. I am not doing well with deadlines tonight. I missed the Love Unraveled deadline. The Dragons Beside me deadline for my second entry and now this. I have got to get my Sh#t together lol. Anyway this is the piece I wrote if anyone wants to read.https://vocal.media/poets/regret-mz1ho0l5g
CHALLENGE NOW CLOSED. Results will be announced soon, thanks everyone!
Just barely missed the deadline, but I'm pleased I worked in all the prompts, so here's mine: https://vocal.media/poets/another-rainy-day-ht8w0wy3
Here is the extract from my vanilla-inspired piece: https://vocal.media/poets/the-climbing-orchid
I believe it’s 6:40 am AEST (that’s what my phone says) so hopefully this made the cut! But oh well if not! https://vocal.media/poets/queen-of-hearts-9i3x0y8p
Not quite the last minute!😵💫 https://vocal.media/poets/simply-the-best-6qwi0z0t
Hellooooo, here I am, at the final second (as normal, lol). I finally got inspiration! https://vocal.media/poets/solace-5dnw0zbt You are my favorite prompt giver, Vocal Bestie. I've never felt as proud of my poetry as when I write for your prompts (no exaggeration). When I thank you, I mean it sincerely. Thank you for this challenge. ❤️
The case of the disappearing, reappearing and disappearing comment 😵💫… Here’s my effort for Poppy’s Prompts #3… complete with a typo that I have been waiting 10 days to edit!🙃 https://vocal.media/poets/angie-s-antics

Third time's a charm? Just kidding, challenge #2 for me which was super enjoyed with these interesting prompts! I was even able to incorporate all five inside: https://vocal.media/poets/sweet-solace

Hi Poppy!! Love being part of this again…. And being me, I couldn’t resist using ALL of the words! https://vocal.media/poets/entanglement-ga1zq0y16

A little late in reading this...but the gears are turning... 🧐
I hadn't even realized I used on of the words until I saw your reminder. https://vocal.media/poets/grandma-s-sweet-potato-pie
Thank you for these little spurs to write, Poppy. Really enjoying the exercises and how the help with stretch and consistency. Here's my entry: https://vocal.media/poets/where-the-healing-lives Made it in plenty of time this go round.
Something finally came to me, but four out of the five words was the best I could manage. Even with two spelling options available, mold/mould didn't make the cut. https://vocal.media/poets/holding-on-2l3da0bpb
here ya go! https://vocal.media/poets/derelict-je4w309ea
These are such fun and a bit addictive. Thank you again Poppy! https://vocal.media/poets/derek-s-dinner-with-dad
I have done one...for one word. I won't spoil what word it is...lol..even though it's in the url...whatever. I know what I meant. FFS. lol. Anyway...expect more...these words are good but they've been causing me to think long and hard to avoid sounding too cliched. https://vocal.media/poets/the-mould
