What's Your Word?

Welcome to my contest!

Choose one word and put it in every sentence of your poem.

It could be your favorite word or just whatever comes to mind.

Any style is welcome, free verse, rhyme, etc.

Don't forget to put your word in the Authors notes.
-----------------------------------------------------

Here's an example,

"Broken"

I saw the broken window
as I came through the broken door,
I was broken down and tired,
my broken vase lay on the floor.

I opened up my broken mind
and made a broken choice,
my child had broken glass,
I raised my broken voice.

I sent him through the broken door,
he carried a broken heart,
he cried over the broken mess
which had been broken from the start.
----------------------------------------

The normal rules apply
No erotica, etc.

Thank You!
