Better late than never for Margo’s Tuesday prompt, which was to write a poem inspired by the word “cast.” One of her suggestions was to go to the freedictionary.com page and write a found poem from the words there. For some reason, this task took me two full days and may not be finished yet. A tanka from those words:

surface of a shell
the face of a dead person
changes of fortune
in a certain direction
a conjecture, a forecast

After some thought on 2/13, I am thinking of editing this to:

surface of a shell
a conjecture, a forecast
changes of fortune
in a certain direction
the face of a dead person

Better? Worse? Comments welcome.
