3 Word Wednesday #50
It's a milestone week for 3WW! The 50th edition. There were actually two additional weeks at the beginning before I figured out what to call it, but since I've been counting, this is number fifty :) And it's all thanks to you. Because honestly, if no one else participated, I probably would have stopped this thing at least 43 weeks ago. Here is where it all began, if you're curious. Anyway, on with the show...
Welcome to Three Word Wednesday. Each week, I will post three (or more) words. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write something using all of those words. It can be a few lines, a story, a poem, anything. I'll also attempt to write something using the same words.
Leave a comment if you participate. Many fun and interesting people might visit your blog.
This week's words are:
Forgotten
Hotel
Obscure
obscure actress stars
poor cinematography
classic nonetheless
forgotten hotel
flashing sign reads vacancy
fateful rainy night
damsel in distress
she's just a stranger, mother
norman can't resist

Hope you enjoy the reading.

I wrote my post before the words and already had hotel. The other two should have been very easy but were very hard to place
Saw how two words--one really--can change a whole mood of a piece
Unrequited
Opposites Attract
Happy Anniversary! I really do love 3ww so thanks for keeping it going for 50 weeks! YIKES!
Now I HAVE to work! Ill be back later tonight to see if you've participated in your own game! =]
Here:
real world..?!
Happy 5oth! This is so cool.
I can't play this week, but there is a new episode of Norbert and Smedley. It seems wrong, somehow, to miss the 50th!
The Maui Writer's Conference has us writing, talking writing, or doing homework from 6 or 7 A.M. until midnight--and loving it. I'll be back next week, with reports on my blog.
For latecomers to N&S, you can read from Episode 1 quite easily here.

Congrats on 50 weeks, Bone! That's quite an accomplishment! :)
Of course, I think you should recognize the other two weeks... I mean, if parents don't name their baby for three days does that mean the baby's birthdate changes? Of course not! 8-) And you did link to the original post... without the name...
I'm just saying :-P

For some reason, obscure sparked my imagination this week.
Congrats on 50, Bone! Here's to 50 more! *cheers*

Your piece for last week was really good. I am sorry it took me so long to comment about it.
Michelle Johnson
Again, 3 Word Wednesday has only survived because of your participation.
I may have to comment in shifts as well :) But hopefully I'll make it around to everyone's at least by Thursday.
Your haiku, Never watched that movie, but I got the point from your words. Love the way you get a point across.
I have to learn how to do this haiku thing: I'm always so impressed when I read it.
Nicely done, Bone :)
it's wednesday night - and i'm not yet posted. maybe tomorrow ... maybe friday ...

Congratulations, Bone! You're doing a great thing for poetry and for the people who love them. Thank you! Happy 50th!
It's wonderful. I kind of memorized it :)
Happy 50th by the way! And I like the name you settled on: 3WW. You mentioned "My three words" in your post and I had the theme song to "my three sons" in my head all day yesterday. It's probably best that you didn't go with that title. I couldn't handle that song in my head once a week. :o)
Marcia: Well, thank you, Marcia. You really should see it. Just make sure you don't watch it by yourself, and stay out of the fruit cellar :)
TC: Nah, laughing's never bad. I'm not sure if I started out intending it to be humorous, but I think it sort of ended up that way, at least at the end. Thanks.
Alison: Thank you. Thursday, Friday, or you can do like I did last week and post on Saturday :)
Paul: Thanks for playing.
Gay: Mmhmm, you're smiling because of my haiku, and not because you're in Maui. ;-)
Kathryn: Thank you. And thanks for participating.
Rose: Thanks. I really wound up reallly liking the three words this week.
Lissa: Thanks, Lissa. This was my first attempt at a haiku on 3WW, so I probably should have apologized beforehand :)
Liz: Thank you. That's very nice of you to say. Yeah, if you say Norman and mother, most everyone knows what you're referring to.
Pia: Wow, thanks! I think this is the first time anyone has ever memorized something I've written :)
Charlotta-love: I guess we were on the same wavelength then, which should probably frighten you :) Yeah, it went from unnamed to Exercises In Composition to 3 Word Wednesday.
Loved it all--the damsel in distress last stanza but this was hysterical
poor cinematography
classic nonetheless

lights traceway and scatter in obscure, bordered echoes, where civilization’s
peasants make poor attempts at living.
Michelle Johnson
My submission is here.
Bad cinematography but great classics. When I watch those old ones I think if those were not those B&W ones, would I still be admiring those?
:)
And ~*HAPPY 50th 3WW BONE!*~
Happy 50th! And have a great long weekend!

Here was mine:
GHOST TOWN
In a forgotten village
in the Great American Desert
a hotel stands at the side of an
unpaved main street knee-deep in dust.
The harness shop, the livery stable,
the saloon and the dry goods store flank her.
All seem to wait and watch with gaping,
broken window-eyes for those who fled,
believing they might return for the same
obscure reason that made them flee.
Sage: That's weird, because I thought about doing a memory from my travels in Korea. But then I remembered I'd never been there.
Mike Mc: Oh, there really is. I just googled it. I'll be sure to stop in if I'm ever in the area.
Amber: Thanks for participating.
HotPink: Well, whether it was what I was going for or not, that's apparently where I wound up, as you're the second person to say that :)
MJ: My mind is really cool? Thanks! That made me smile :)
ATag: Thanks, Tagster.
Avery Laine: Well, thank you Miss Laine. Perhaps I could begin Haiku Movie Reviews :)
Gautami: I actually tend to prefer those old black & white films. Sometimes I think the writing was much better then, because there weren't all these special effects. The film was about the story.
Herb Urban: Thank you, Mister Urban.
Clare: Thanks, Clare. I'm glad it made you laugh :)
Carlos: Thanks. I actually looked up "obscure" and was surprised at how many different meanings it can have.
GirlFPS: Ah, I guess it would have. I'm not even fully certain I know what the difference is technically. And thank you :)
Actonbell: Thank you! Hope you're enjoying the weekend as well.
Fledgling Poet: Awwww. It wasn't that bad, was it? :) Thank you.
Sue: Thank you for particpating.
Shelby: Better late than never. I'm a little late in getting by to read it as well.
Anonymous: Welcome to 3WW. I liked your poem very much. Described very well what I would imagine a ghost town to be.
