Ready to move again if needed that’s me
Part of a revamp that would be her
Growth do I believe this?
Pursue we all want hope, love
Rescue package a parachute, a submarine
Plans to raise a laugh, a smile
Leader to go with dinner on the side
Social taboo hampers treatment of ED (guess why?)
Strike kills everything, kills hope
Spending offers huge opportunities more debt, again
Errors still common errors still common
The prompt from Poets United was 'headlines'.

Creative...out side the box.
Cool ID!
this is a good prompt; i like prompts that allow for serendipity & abstraction--i guess we could call that poetry, yes? it reminds me of the "cut-ups" that Brion Gysin and Wm. Burroughs used to do, randomly snipping type from newspapers, and then laying them out in either nonsense or new sense to form poems.
i was at a workshop recently where the leader suggested people write about a horrible house guest experience; your prompt is so much more fun and inspiring! (and interesting, in that 'hope' is the only word that reappears.)
btw, i read your new blog yesterday; will meet you there...
Parachute, indeed!
Isabel,
Is it ever as it reads, or is it all in our interpretation!
Best wishes, Eileen
I like the way you read between the headlines!
Very creative piece.

This is way cool. Loved it!
I think that just about sums up Headlines as we have come to know them. Brilliant.
Clever use of the prompt! As always, errors!
Dave beat me to it. My immediate thought, "brilliant."
