So sorry! I’m a bit late to the party again as far as Three Word Wednesday goes this week. Grip, prefer and thread are my words.
Now for a cinquain!
The Surgeon
I grip
needle and thread
while the nurse I prefer
with a steady hand takes care of
the blood

New to the form this is written in. Good one 🙂
Thank you! I actually found this form by accident- I’m not sure why I was on wikipedia, but it was a fun one to write. Very hard to limit myself to just 22 syllables.
great use of the prompts in this poem.
Thank you! Your story was a cool take on the prompts as well.
This one cut me up. Oh, sorry, that was sick! Great use of words, Bee, and you know, I just got my second 3WW poem this morning as I sat in a cafe during my “extra hour after dropping Lex off to church and then going back to service” coffee time! Love you and love this. “The nurse he prefers” says a lot, especially after you read what she’s doing. Amy

Haha, fun with puns! Yes, it implies a deeper relationship- platonic or romantic, I’m not sure, but it wouldn’t be the first time people in tense situations had feelings for each other. Or maybe he just likes her steady hands? I liked, and needed to keep, the ambiguity.
Thank you Amy, I’ll head right over to your post!
absolutely unique use of the theme words.

Thank you Trisha! I looked into what other people wrote and saw a lot of great stuff, but a lot in the same vein (heh vein is a weird word when talking about poem about surgery); lots of ‘metaphorical’ threads. This just sort of struck me.
