I really love all the creative work that has come out of this prompt series so far. I really see how everyone loves to find the most creative use of words like dance, lull and bubble.
Actually it makes me grin with joy..
verb (used without object), grinned, grinning.
1. to smile broadly, especially as an indication of pleasure, amusement, or the like.
2. to draw back the lips so as to show the teeth, as a snarling dog or a person in pain.
3. to show or be exposed through an opening, crevice, etc.
verb (used with object), grinned, grinning.
4. to express or produce by grinning: The little boy grinned his approval of the gift.
noun
5. a broad smile.
6. the act of producing a broad smile.
7. the act of withdrawing the lips and showing the teeth, as in anger or pain.
To dance with us you do the following, write a poem using exactly 44 words excluding the title (not less, not more). Make sure to include the word grin in your poem.
Link up to the Mr Linky below, and make sure to visit the other poets linking up. We love to have fun with these prompts. Have fun and *smile*

Welcome everyone… I will start writing now… 🙂 There is rush in doing this… Who will be first.
I can’t believe I was first! I’ve never, ever been first. Not even on OLN. I’ll be back after awhile to see what everyone else has linked. Peace, Linda
Good for you 🙂
I will post in a while ~ Thanks for hosting the quadrille – grins!!!
Wow you were quick…
It was in draft form, ha ~ And thanks for the grin picture too ~ Looking forward to read more when I get home ~
Ha.. yes I had to do something fun with grin…
Mine is posted… I think 44 words are fun,…. and it’s possible to write many too…
I love this form – the 44-word limit makes you think carefully about what to say as each word counts for so much. Thanks for hosting.
I love this prompt, Bjorn, and had fun playing a bit with the word…like something you would do. Back in a few.
I grin when I hear your words.
Hmmm. I don’t have any ideas right off the bat, but maybe something will come later.
Ha.. you will come up with something 😀
After reading through the first few ones I felt I need to give a little positive spin on grin… 🙂 bedtime here… I will be back tomorrow.
Funny how so many of us took “grin” where you wouldn’t expect.
My first Quadrille! That word limit is not the only killer in my write. This was fun,
Ha.. we all think Quadrilles are fun… somehow 44 words are ideal I think..
Such a happy little prompt ~ I look forward to reading
Ha – yes I hope to find many happy ones
My idea didn’t come to me right away but then I remembered our Sheltie that we had when the girls were growing up…there was my grin! 🙂 I really enjoy this prompt–thanks, Bjorn.
Well, it took me a while….but I am here! Smiles.
Thanks for the promt, Bjorn.
To all, please pardon me if I am slow in visiting. I am doing blogs only when my fussy baby permits. But sooner or later, I will get to read posts.
No worries. Fussy babies are more important than poetry and need far more attention to thrive. Peace, Linda
Babies get priority!
Of course babies goes first
Awesome word, Bjorn. Grinning here, and happy to be writing again, after a rough past week. Heading around from some reading now…
Glad to have you back
I go to choir practice every Monday evening (a local rock and soul choice), so I can’t join in the Poets Pub until the next morning. On first seeing the prompt when I got in last night, I was stumped. Grin? But this morning I had only two thoughts, which combined into the poem I posted and which fits in nicely with the ‘aunt’ poems I’m writing at the moment. I’ll get around to reading everyone’s poems in a while!
Sometimes word has that effect.. And singing can make you happy enough to grin.
Fun.Fun.Fun!
Well, I sort of repudiated the grin but it did give me a starting point – and so did thinking about it while enjoying my shower this morning. Yes, the 44-word limit is good for forcing conciseness, which this time certainly improved my poem. (*Grin*)
PS Late at night now. I’ll be back to read others tomorrow morning.
Wel,l I certainly wasn’t first! I have been very entertained by reading everyone’s contributions today! So much grinning and for a variety of reasons. Thanks, Bjorn.
🙂 but it’s a fun prompt… and last is never least
It is a fun prompt. Reading the entries made me smile!
Happy Tuesday! Hope it’s not too late, but I just posted my entry for “Grin”. Thanks Bjorn for the prompt! I really have fun doing the Quadrille type poem. 🙂
Not too late…. the prompt is open a week.
I double dipped. 😉 And have an idea for a third. Quadrille is my favorite. 😉
Ha.. I might revisit as well..
Tried my hand at a quadrille for the first time. Just to let people know, I try and comment on each site, I definitely visit and read each entry, but battle to comment on some blogspot posts due to my very, very slow internet connection. AND it’s raining here, yippie!, which makes the signal even worse.
Thank you for joining… I know sometimes it’s a challenge to comment.. I actually use my google identity to comment…. but different people do it differently.
Don’t have a google identity, but maybe it’s a way to go. Will look into it.
To Katy, if you are reading these comments – I can’t read your posts because I don’t have permission. I am a little puzzled why you post links people can’t use. (Or is it just me? – she said, all paranoid.)
Katy is a bit illiusive, appearing under different names.
Really really late to the pub here. Just posted. Sadly, while out hiking yesterday in lovely Bermuda, I somehow fell — foot twisted — and I went down. Swollen ankle…still today. Hobbling. Hoping I did not break something. Will ride the day out….severe sprain the preferred pain. No hiking today……needs to get better quickly as we have 2.5 more weeks in this lovely place. So — very late to the post…but it’s there.
Oh I hope you get better.. Hiking in warmth is such a joy… (Hiking is).. The link is open for a week, so not really late.
