Weekly Scribblings #7 This is a Tribute
Hello word artists and admirers! For this week's scribblings, I'd like you to to think about the word "tribute". You can make your word offering a straightforward tribute to a person, place, or thing you admire, or simply incorporate the idea of tribute in any way you see fit.

Tribute poems are fulfilling to write, I have written a few, most carry the "A Tribute" Label. Mine today I'm not super proud but I gave it a passing grade. I mentioned my SIL after the write, her stroke has left her in pretty bad shape, especially her right side. Her wit must be on the left, she still has that. You can pray for her, she is elderly.
ReplyDelete..
I'll keep her in my prayers Jim. *hugs*
DeleteI surprised myself with the subject of this poem, but some subjects are so insistent....
ReplyDeleteOh I've been there too. Sometimes you just have to let yourself write what you need to write.
DeletehAPPY wEDNESDAY
ReplyDeletemuch love...
And a good Wednesday to you too!
DeleteGreat challenge. I normally avoid political tirades, but our political situation in the U.S.is such great fodder for sarcasm I couldn't resist.
ReplyDeleteWe're in a golden age of satire with all the insanity happening here.
DeleteThank you so much, Rommy for the fabulous prompt!💝 This poem would otherwise have never been written were it not for the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to point out (for those who missed the note) that my poem is a tribute to Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and his songs. I tried to incorporate his magic in my work.
I am so glad that I provided a good opening. :)
DeleteHello! My contribution is not a new poem ... I like to post it when we draw close to Shrove Tuesday, which this year is February 25th. If it's a problem, feel free to delete.
ReplyDeleteOr .. let me know here and I will not link.
DeleteSorry. I should have been specific in the post about new pieces only. But the Sunday Pantry would be a perfect place to share it. :)
DeleteWill do♥️
ReplyDeleteYay! Look forward to seeing it then!
DeleteLove the prompt..My tribute is to music.
ReplyDeleteRock on!
DeleteAnd if the world should end tomorrow, still I am glad to have re-experienced that music today! xx
DeleteIt's 8.30 on Thursday morning and I didn't have a clue what to write. And then, there it was, the magpie in the tree, writing the poem for me! Thank you, Rommy, for a prompt that brought out my inner magpie.
ReplyDeleteSome poems are gifts from the Universe!
DeleteWhat a helpful little friend!
DeleteIHi Rommy and all- I wrote a tribute to Spring and my garden. I hope everyone is doing well!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous tribute, which lifted my spirits!
DeleteI am looking forward to that first day of spring. The crocus growing on the corner have got me looking for more signs of its immanent arrival.
DeleteI'm late to join in, and it's nearly midnight here, so I'll be back to read and comment tomorrow. Unusually for me, I went with prose this time, trying to give tribute to something lost.
ReplyDeleteI'm also a little late getting back here. Life gets in the way sometimes. My contribution sparked memories (yea) and some tears (sorry). It seems like I should get back to the positive work to make up for it. Cheers!
