Prompt!

I hate prompts with a passion. I feel like they're stifling; a giant pillow smothering any nascent urge I had to write in the first place. BUT this is not your normal college prompt. There is no due date, no one telling you to use at least three words on the list and make it five lines long. This post is just to get the gears turning, keyboard typing, or pen moving. 

I love reading Mental Floss and recently stumbled across a list - 25 of the Happiest Words in English. My first thought was, wow, what a cool idea. My second was that this would be a great list to pluck words for a poem. 

I would suggest you pick a few and see where it leads. This prompt is meant to get around the whole 'blank page' syndrom - anyone can write a line using Saturday, cherry, or forests. Just take a leap, grab a word and start writing - you can always revise (my favorite part about writing) and decide, you know what, using forests sucks here. But, at least you started writing. So go on, don't be shy - write a few down, throw them around on the page. I'll post my effort later this afternoon!
