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:
Caught
Eager
Perfume
Perfume hint caught
Memory sparked
That year I was in love
Eager heart leapt
Lesson relearned
Forever is but a word
Freely falling fast
Feeling remembered
And missed
Past replaces present
Eyes now tightly closed
Smile grazes lips
Midnight phone calls
Sultry afternoons
Slinky black dress
Past recedes to past
I'll always believe
I loved you best
"Most of what I remember makes me sure, I should've stopped you from walking out the door..."
Seaweed Perfume
ReplyDeleteI could only manage half a poem.

Here's mine.

Here's another Tale of an Irishman in France
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon, thank you Bone for such provocative words this week. My mind immediately thought of sex, so this weeks offering is called "Workout". Hope you enjoy. ;)

The mist from the quick spritz of perfume caught in her throat as the eager teenager prepared for her first date.
ReplyDeleteI loved this prompt, it brought up so much. Thanks.
ReplyDelete3WW
Mine's up.
ReplyDeleteHere is mine.

xinher, I couldn't read yours. It said profile not enable.
ReplyDeleteThanks for such great prompts and an energizing site! Here's my Wednesday poem...
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a Moon
I'm playing again this week! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's mine as well:
Eager
~S
I was too eager. I desperately wanted to be caught.
ReplyDeleteThe perfume that I bathed in left not a trance of scent.
There were no markers. No way of finding me.
Once again I was alone in eager desperation. To be caught would have meant recognition.
The street was heavily scented with the perfume of unknown interlopers.
I faded into oblivion.
Perhaps this was my fate.
Mmmm... I loved this prompt! It sent me off in an unexpected direction. It's fascinating to see all the different places the same three words take people.
ReplyDeleteMine for this week is To the Heart of It
A tragic tale of redemption found and lost
ReplyDeleteAn Accidental Life
I also thought of something risque, and just a tad dark. It's based on the movie, Perfume (which I don't really recommend as it's beyond strange).
ReplyDeleteI also did an audio version. I've been playing around with recordings and ... I don't know, I thought I'd start reading some of my work. I think it helps me to look at my work from a different angle.
Not happy with it - I actually wanted to go darker. But people close to me read my blog ... so there you go. *smile*
romancewriter: oops. I forgot to put in the link to my blog. I have a non-blogger blog here.
ReplyDeletedid it :)
ReplyDeleteI forgot and did this one real quick just now. Back to work.
ReplyDeleteThe Heady Aroma
I'm back Bone. Did you miss me?
ReplyDeleteSylvia of Neverland:
.....and in! Dang! What a day!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm STILL RUNNING!!!!
sorry so late... too many things on my plate....
ReplyDeleteheres mine:
"no one"
Nearly everything for me relates to food...

Funny how the word perfume triggered all this.

Here's mine.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I did this, but here's my next installment.
ReplyDeleteI wrote a continuation of another story. Sorry that it's so long. I don't know why I wrote this much.
ReplyDeletePart 2 is the 3WW.
Here are the three links:
Part 1
The key
Part 2
Missing you
Part 3
Last goodbye
I just posted it(an hour and a half to spare too! lol) Better late than never...although this may not be my best effort!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Mine is done. I don't know if I'll get to everyone's yet tonight, but I will make it around to read 'em all.
ReplyDeleteGo easy on me, this is my first try at this...And I nearly forgot I said I'd do it this week!

ReplyDeletehttp://fledglingpoet.blogspot.com/2007/09/3ww-caught-eager-perfume.html
Wow, I think this might be a new record for one week! Thank you all for participating.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, I plan to be by to read everyone's eventually :)
Cool poem Bone. I like the slinky black dress and the perfumed memories.
ReplyDeleteRose
xo
Bone I'm truly speechless. Was up all night working
ReplyDeleteThis poem hit me so hard--in a good way. Totally related
Don't know what to pick out. Loved each stanza for what each one had to say and how it was said
But that last stanza, that last one
Past recedes to past
I'll always believe
I loved you best
Oh yes, yes, yes
OK I always have something to say--especially when totally sleep deprived an can't be as eloquent as I would like to be
how do you do this? I'm so in awe of this type of poetry
ReplyDeleteThat year I was in love
The second, third...stanza's
Oh let my sleep deprived self shut up
Bone, your poem reminds me that you are a romantic at heart. I loved your poem. Keep up the good work. And, thank you for having 3WW each week. I have enjoyed writing/ commenting with everyone. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteMichelle
Bone, your poem is filled to the brim with youth, young love, and loss. I loved it.
ReplyDeletemy poor sleep deprived self meant to say:
ReplyDeleteIt's over but the feeling of knowing that you loved the best--not the
most--not the clingy--not the overt whatever in the end--but knowing
that nobody can ever love that person that way
There is and isn't satisfaction in that
I'm totally out of it--3 comments on one poem--but I did love it so much
Wonderful poem, Bone. Makes me nostalgic.
ReplyDeleteRose: Thank you. I'm a fan of slinky dresses.
ReplyDeletePia Savage: There is and isn't satisfaction in that
Well said, 'tor. I think I kinda like you sleep-deprived :)
Michelle: Bone, your poem reminds me that you are a romantic at heart.
I plead the 5th :) Thank you. I'm glad you're enjoying 3WW.
Writerwoman: Thank you. Those are very kind words.
Lissa: Thanks, Lissa. It made me a bit nostalgic, too.
Short and Sweet:
ReplyDeleteSpinstress
Bone - I loved this poem - I must have a 'forever love' in the back of my mind, too. Nice, oh, nice!
ReplyDeleteThe slinky dress, but the last verse... I hope you find someone to love "bester".
ReplyDeleteThere are not enough words.
ReplyDeleteI hope you recognize your talent and can see it in everything you write.
My heart honestly hurts reading this.
ReplyDeleteI have read and re-read this poem too many times to count tonight, searching for the right words that would adequately convey what I’m thinking and feeling, and just do not have any.
I’m positively speechless.
Whoops! I posted.
ReplyDelete" short and sweet"
ReplyDeletei hope this reads as intense as it livs
The smell of an old flame's perfume can quickly open a floodgate of memories. Some smells are best left for the past. Slinky black dresses though are timeless.
ReplyDeleteExcellent poem.
Very nice.
ReplyDelete"Past recedes to past
I'll always believe
I loved you best"
Reminds me of a girl I almost married. A girl, now a dear friend, who just came to visit.
Before anything else registered, the alliteration did. I had read it a second time o get the gist.
ReplyDeleteOldest is difficult to forget!
Great job!
Here's mine--its a short 3WW that reflects my dislike of strong perfume. I'll post here:
ReplyDeleteMy nose caught a whiff of her strong perfume, which turned my stomach and made me less than eager to meet her.
Past recedes to past
ReplyDeleteI'll always believe
I loved you best
I also love this stanza.......perfectly put. The poem was very moving.
I finally posted...and its not up to par but...oh well! enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLoved your poem Bone!
Past recedes to past
I'll always believe
I loved you best
...Forever is but a word
WOW! can I say it again...WOW!!!! :)
Too eager to reach you
ReplyDeleteI was caught
in a net
of perfume
Now
others come and go
touching my feet
as they pass.
Quite a nice poem Bone :)
ReplyDeleteColorful Prose: Thanks for participating this week.
ReplyDeleteTumblewords: Thank you for the very nice words.
Marcia: Aww, thanks for the very kind wish :)

Indeed!

And by the way - I heart Snow Patrol! Some of the best lyrics being written today!
I love your 3WW poem, Bone...each line conjures up a perfect feeling and visual. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the poem sitting in the office in short sleeve, slightly chilly because of the air-con.
ReplyDeleteI read it again and felt a sense of nostalgic joy...Summer evening bliss.
POSTING later than you...try this...im reading LAST WEEKS posts today...
