Quickie PIF Contest

I won gold in the lovely, and talented CupCrazy's contest, so before I forget... which I'm infamous for, I better get on it. lol.

 

 

I decided to go with The Word of the Day; from on-line
Dictionary. So it was a surprise for me as well as you.

Word Prompt is:

Afflatus  (noun)

Pronunciation: [ê-'fley-tês]

Definition: A strong creative impulse from a muse or higher power, divine or supernatural inspiration.

Usage: The adjective for today's word is "afflatitious" but it has also inspired a more regular family with essentially the same meaning: afflate "to blow upon or inspire" and its noun, afflation "inspiration from mysterious higher powers."

Coincidental, don't you think?   Now,  you don't need to use the word,

<>it's your prompt,  though you can if you want, okay?

 

 

 

Rules:

 

Max:  20 lines

Free Verse

Check Spelling

 

 

Amaze me.

 

 

Remember this is a PIF contest.
