The Roaring Forty Words

A list poem for Napowrimo Day 5     

roaring haiga

Roaring is good – releasing tension
Roaring is bad – showing anger
Roaring is communication – between lions
Roaring is oceanic – waves against rocks
Roaring is messianic – saving lives 
Roaring is thunderous – the voice of lightning
Roaring is loud.

I really didn’t like this prompt, so this  follows on from the last word of my yesterday’s bucket list poem.

  1. I like ‘Roaring is messianic’ – not something I’d ever have thought of.

    Some prompts just don’t fit with us Viv. But the challenge is trying to work with them and you did just that. X
