The words this week are:
Depart, Ignite, and rotten.
Here's Mine:
An American Sentence-Dawn decided to depart before the rotten timbers could ignite.
NanoAmerico^ (an American Sentence sandwiched between two shorter sentences or statements.)
Not wanting to confront Dave. Dawn decided to depart before the rotten timbers could ignite. Her marriage was over. 28042+10
An anagram in the NaiSaiKu style
Granite tent trip ode
Could be an anagram of
DEPART ROTTEN IGNITE
Which is an anagram of
Poet in danger titter

My Flash 55
THE NATIONAL
Dawn didn't want the situation to ignite. It would be practically impossible to depart once the rotten timbers caught light. And the Country House Hotel on fire, would make the national news. She knew that Dave would find out about her secret affair, and that would probably mean the end of her marriage as well. 28042+10/2

Apologies to everybody that I didn't manage to read last week. I was away in London for most of the time, but I'm back at my desk today!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the way this story developed through the post. And as a poet I often have a danger titter :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anthony. I love how this story went from one line to more. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI need to get back into your games, Andy. NaPoWriMo sorta took over my consciousness completely this month. I adore what you did with your words here, taking us on a bumpy, unexpected, water drenched adventure.
ReplyDelete(Did I mention I enjoy stuff like that?)

I thought you'd cracked it last week, but you've managed to go one better now.
ReplyDeleteSo many creative uses for one prompt. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteYour American sentence certainly changed when your added the phrases before and after.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on all the ways you developed the story / prompt!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing. I hope you're going to continue with this.
ReplyDeleteExcellent anagrams once again!
ReplyDeleteTent to retain red pig
is an anagram for...
depart ignite rotten
Thanks for sharing, and thanks for your comments as well!
Nicely Jay, how about, 'trap toe in ridge tent?' I think I like the idea of a red pig though!
ReplyDeleteAnother good one! I surely wouldn't want my toe trapped in a ridge tent! :-)

You play with fire, you get burnt. Gone for a poem this week based on the Etheree form created about twenty years ago by an Arkansas poet named Etheree Taylor Armstrong It normally consists of ten lines of unmetered and unrhymed verse, the first line having one syllable, each succeeding line adding a syllable. I added an extra row for the word count and the punch line. See what I mean here.
ReplyDeleteShe's living in a house of cards. Or visiting one, anyway.
ReplyDeleteRotten timbers describes the end of a marriage so well...
