Poetry Prompts Day 6 - OctPoWriMo 2016

I just want to remind you that there are only two of us facilitating OctPoWriMo and we can't get to all of the blogs to read your poetry and leave a comment everyday, even though we'd love to. I can say that I am enjoying the poems I'm able to read, you all are writing some pretty amazing words out there. I just love how some of you are playing with your words, opening up and spilling the words onto the page, and allowing yourself to expand by trying new forms of poetry.

Now as for today's prompt, I decided to pull up the definition.

Tantalizing - from dictionary.com.

Having or exhibiting something that provokes or arouses expectation, interest, or desire, especially that which remains unobtainable or beyond one's reach: a tantalizing taste of success.

I must say that I have many desires and one of which is having a beautiful garden with unusual items throughout. I find this photo of this old car planter tantalizing! I can imagine sitting inside with my notebook and pen playing with my words.

During OctPoWriMo, if you want to make sure that we know you have written something new, comment in that day's post with your link to your blog and/or share your link on Twitter with the hashtag, #OctPoWriMo.

If you would like to leave an active link in the comments:

<a href = "your link">your title</a>

You have to put the link to your post (same link you would put in the comment section) in the, "your link" space within the quotations and the title to your post in the, your title, space.

Our link would look like this:

I hope that helps. You don't have to do this, it is only if you would like to make your link an active link.
