Here are five semi-related words. Can you write a poem using them?

Question

Tide.

Sticks.

Stones.

Sand.

Here is my attempt:

A tide drifts over,

stones and sticks

on beaches of sand.

Doing quick tricks

they wash away,

into the tide

to dance.

Answer 1

As hourglass sands

Call high tide low

The aged man sits.

Watching stones

Roll mossbound hills

The aged man waits.

A house of sticks,

Changeless weather,

The aged man sleeps.

A peace has come

He never knew

Before he was aged.

Answer 2

The thunderous storm, and a crack of wood,

Our smashed boat lines an island shore.

Days it’s been, and I’m almost used to the sound

Of my groaning stomach harmonizing

With the roaring tide.

I lay in the soft sand, the water nipping at my toes

Reminding me I’m not home.

A desperation had succumbed me into worry,

But now an apathetic role takes it cue.

We won’t survive, why worry that last moments?

I walk along the beach now, dodging the stones

That spell HELP

No one is going to help us.

A crack yelps from under me, and below my foot is blood.

A broken stick cries where it lies.

I look to the other survivors, a vision of peace.

Their worry left them before mine gave up.

A low rumble shakes the ground, and I feel the cold rain.

I let it fall and let it drip all over me. Every stinging pinpoint

Reminding me that I’m alive.

I slowly move my hips and arms, and dance in the rain.

Answer 3

Whenever sand sticks to my toes,

I remember dancing in the tide with you,

my heart, once filled with love, now stone.

Uhhh, when is the fifth related word we are using? I'll make the fifth word 'surf' oh well, here goes... This is a B-zizle Produc-tizzle!

SON OF A BEACH

They call me B-U-Z-Z and I'll be your tour guide/Come aboard my love boat it's gonna be a high tide/We gonna skim across the ocean on my 40 foot ride/In the cabin there's a party don't go over the side/Aye yi crew let's head for the Waikiki Islands/Where the natives are restless and the woman are smilin'/Bikinis and thongs the passengers are stylin'/ All hands on deck cause Captain Stubing's profilin'/The sand is pure white and the sky's a pink hue/The luau is happenin' so what you gonna do?/The hula girls are doin' there hula hula hoo/There's romance in the air, girl can you feel it too?/The stones are molten lava the palm trees are thick/And we're so far out on the surf they look like sticks/Europeans jet skiin' in those tight wet slicks/A dolphin comes by often flippin' doing his tricks/You can be my Island Girl I'm your Samoan Joe/Pretty slanted eyes winkin' like you're ready to go/Fire twirlers, Bongo players going outta control/Be my Asian beauty woman from Tokyo...

CHORUS: We're a long way from Chicago the Pacific is hot/With it's breath taking beauty givin' you all she's got/I was tropidelic hooked never out of reach/She made me a new man, no a son of a beach!

Paper, rock, scissors girl you lost the bet/Let go to Diamondhead Beach and watch the sunset/Watch the waves crash the sand Land Of No Regrets/You're worth a million sand dollars I forgot all the rest/What we gonna do today I would ask my darlin'/Rent a chartered boat to catch a couple of marlins/The weather is pleasant and the people are charmin'/Live life a slower pace no more fire alarmin'...

CHORUS: We're a long way from Chicago the Pacific is hot/With it's breath taking beauty givin' you all she's got/I was tropidelic hooked never out of reach/She made me a new man, no a son of a beach!

Well, tell me how did I do? I can take all you Sucker Free Poets to school! h**l, I just do this rappin' for fun!! Until I am Top Contributor Number 1... PEACE!

Answer 5

sticks and stones will break my bones

and the sand of time wont mend them

the tide as it dances on beaches of white

will surely sooth and tend them

Answer 6

Along the shore is the (sand)

one place for sure is the beach

As the rapids of the water increase

the (tide)

will come over

Damaging the trees of the branches

and the (sticks)

With the water over the beach washing

away the (stones)

Answer 7

I'm lost in mind, like a grain of sand in the tide.

I wrote a message with some sticks and stones, hoping you would come and save me.

I must be wasting my time waiting for you, instead I should just build a boat with those sticks and stones, so I could ride the tide and save me.

Answer 8

How about a little haiku poem with your 4 semi -related words

tide washes up sticks

stones on the sand remain still

the dance of water

Hope you like it Cheers!!

Answer 9

I've been pacing this room almost like a tide rolling in.

Which lets me now love's about to give in.

So I built a statue of you out of sand,

And for your fingers I replaced them with sticks,

And A stone in your chest where your heart should be.

It makes so much sense...

Answer 10

ok so mine sucks=[

this is what i came up with haa

First there was sand

on my feet

next the tide came in

a stone jumped across the water

i threw sticks

dont ask me why i would throw sticks because i have no idea lmao

Answer 11

Hindered as the tide is low

I snipe at the swallow

A shot netted on it's head I land

And the swallow falls to sand

Challenging it's life I poke it with sticks

It is as still and silent as stones.

Chilled I awake and think of her

Her shot as soft and silent as the archer.

Answer 12

This is very good! Also a great idea to list nouns befor writing a poem. Not only is it good you can help others to get started. I could only write something like this with the words............Sticks and stones can break my bones..........But words hurt far more. The tides in my mind shall wash away as I lie here on the sand. Letting go of past hurts as i lie here on the beach, watching the wind and waters carring them away , far far away. Ha ha, see i am not a poet.

Answer 13

The sticks line the shore

like my fears line the stones

lain across the sand

is a painting of your face and more

its hers you and her hand in hand

make the tide come

and ill let it swallow me whole

I wont have to run away from this place

like ive left everything before

it will take me away

haha

I cant ryhme with those words..

Answer 14

I like your poem and shall think about it the next time I am at the beach.

Here is my own quick effort.

A tide washes in

The tide rushes out

The stones they stay

The sticks go away

While the sand just vacillates

Good things come my way

Bad things they come too

I can be swept away like the sticks

I can vacillate like the sand

Or I can roll like the rocks

Sometimes pummeled

Rough edges smoothed by the waves

But I’ll still be here on the beach.

Answer 15

The tide washes over,

taking away this sticks

and stones.

No evidence left

on the sand.

I begin

to wonder; will that

happen

to me?

Nothing to remember me

by; no

achievements, no

memories,

just a momentary

imprint

that will soon be

washed away

by the tide.

Well, hey, at least I tried. I couldn't really find a good rhythm, so I decided not to rhyme.

-Edit- Not trying to be mean, just wondering. What does vaccilates (or however you spell it) mean? I hate not knowing what a word means. Thanks!

Answer 16

Tide sticks to the sandy stones.

I lay down on the beach,

wondering what this asker meant

by a fifth word.
