This week I've chosen #Worship for the #PromptCombo  And I offer up to you my tongue in cheek poem 'Worshipped' - bring it on crew😜 Respond below 🔽 Tnx Paul Brookes for last wk. @jitterbugwrites Ronnie Smith Muinteoir nò Feirmeoir Helen Laycock, Writer ✍ Sue Ibrahim Debbie Ross Dean Rowlands

Hullo to wonderful #promptcombo again and to Fidel Walsh glorious #worship topic. Heading off on the motorway in ten mins for the day but will definitely catch up later!

Fidel Walsh Feel very selfish just lapping up that so kind a comment Fidel when I’m just giving my son a whistle stop comfort break at Sedgemoor motorway services! Really looking forward to diving into the other poems tonight! Great topic choice comrade! 🏆

Here's my offering for #promptcombo and the theme of #worship. Thanks to Fidel Walsh for hosting #poet #poetrycommunity

Fidel Walsh Thanks, Fidel, good to be in touch with you all.

The rest is optional Theresa Donnelly Such darkness to open, Fidel, and how that perpetuates in ‘The God of Storms blessed you/in a moody whirlwind’, followed by a ‘bed of nettles’ against the black backdrop where the sun has been consumed. Most terrifying, however, is the inescapability of ‘the devil of your glare’!

A little late for this week’s #PromptCombo and apologies for my recent absence on the platform.🙏 I shared this piece recently, which would seem to fit the theme of #Worship. Fidel Walsh Paul Brookes @jitterbugwrites Ronnie Smith @AnneSheridan1 @Suelmnw Debbie Ross

Sorry, I’ve been busy of late and lacking confidence to join in - just shattered! I’ve managed a wee somewhat tongue in cheek micro for you. #poetry

Fidel Walsh Hi Fidel. Please accept my offering for this week's #PromptCombo #Worship. In memory of my Mother and all mum's who are so often not appreciated for their true worth until we lose them.
