Words for Wednesday
The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems.
The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind.
If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words.
This month the words/prompts are supplied by Sean Jeating and can be found here
This week's words/prompts are:
1.become 2.emigrate 3.every 4.reliable 5.soonish
and/or:
1.disunited 2.joining 3.million 4.referendum 5.vote
use either list or both, or mix and match, just have fun.
Charlotte's colour of the month is Carmine as seen above the text here.
My own story will hopefully appear on this blog on Friday.
I'll be working on it later in the day.
ReplyDeletemessymimi; I've just finished typing up mine, but I've had to leave the Jim's Shipwreck one for a while. This is something different.
DeleteGreat words. I look forward to reading your story.
ReplyDeleteDVArtist; Sean always gives challenging words. I think he must be part Thesaurus.
DeleteFriends, I've decided to emigrate to Greenland and soonish become a Greenlander. According to my reliable source, Clarissa Carmine, every Greenlander will soon be offered $2 million to vote in a referendum on joining the (dis)united States of America.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year.
Sean Jeating; short and sweet though I don't think even $2 million would be enough for me to vote to join those disunited states. Although voting to not join would be worth that much...
DeleteI also have someone emigrating in my story.
I'm in the states and I totally get it. I don't recognize my own country anymore. When the supreme court gave trump immunity to basically do whatever the hell he wanted, that was it. The crazy came out in full force. We will get our country back. It will be a long road back to democracy and for our allies - if we have any left - to trust us again, but we, the people, will take back our country and set it right once again.
DeleteSean Jeating:
DeleteUfff... 2 milions de dòlars és per pensar-ho una bona estona!🤦♀️
Què ens trobin ben confessats! 😂
Here's mine all words and colour used. Thanks Sean for the words.

I became disunited from my native country when I became twenty years old.
I emigrated. My country didn’t want me anymore. Every January 20th, with unwavering reliability, I commemorate the day I arrived in Canada, joining the many million others who have done the same thing over the years. Soonish, that day will arrive.
I always buy myself something new to celebrate on the anniversary of my entry into this country. My vote this year was for a carmine cashmere sweater.
You see, emigrating here was the best thing I ever did. I love this country, quietly and consistently. It has been so good to me.

This is a nice take on the words, thank you. Your country didn't want you??
DeleteWonderful! And - as River... your country didn´t want you?
DeleteBon ús de les paraules!
DeleteVols dir que t'estira la teva terra?
Good to read, R.
ReplyDeleteSo fitting, I can join:
ReplyDelete"If I could emigrate to your country I sure would, the soonish, the better. It is -5C and I had to go outside, glad I didn´t become a piece of ice.
And every time - that is reliable - in this weather my eyes tear up and people think I cry. Luckily they don´t turn into Carmine, my eyes, which they did before, too..."
Do I look forward to Perth!
Iris: No em mudaria a cap país que no tingués 27ºC de temperatura i ja seria massa si no tingués gens d'humitat.
DeleteBon ús de les paraules.
Here's mine:
ReplyDeleteCARMÍ sempre havia somiat que la seva idea podría ESDEVENIR en un gran projecte a on vivia. Al barri, la gent parlava de MILIONS d'oportunitats, però ella sentia que li faltava alguna cosa. Un dia, mentre prenia un cafè amb amics, va sorgir la idea d'un REFERÈNDUM sobre la possibilitat d'UNIR-SE a un projecte cultural nou a la ciutat.
—Si no VOTEM, qui ho farà, va dir un.
El grup estava una mica DESUNIT al principi amb opinions enfrontades, però AVIAT es van adonar que eren més forts plegats. CONFIABLES entre si, van decidir EMIGRAR de les zones de confort i organitzar una gran reunió. Cadascú aportaria alguna cosa: música, art, idees... Així, el que va començar com un simple pla, es va transformar en una festa comunitària, on a CADA aportació, tothom se sentiria escoltat i valorat.
Moltes gràcies!
