I invite readers to submit original poems using the following list of words:

caring for none
a painful splinter
Presence of the place
broken egg(s)
towering presence
renderings
forecast
jiggler
gentle persuasion
chorus of wind chimes
falling away
forbidden portals
harmony
straggling
stranded
smooth speckled stones
laboring longer
dryer than death
fists
longing

Poems should be between 12 and 30 lines. Words may be used in any order. Poets are not required to use all the words.

The results will be published at Students Publish Here! (Two submissions have already arrived, as of May 28.)

Deadline: June 30

I look forward to reading your work!
