Today the prompt suggested taking random words and, finding various rhymes for them, then use some in a poem. Some years ago I was told that one should NEVER use a word of more than 2 syllables in a poem - and as you can see I always heed that advice . . .
Invisible threat
The rain now makes it difficult to walk as
The damp underfoot means different shoes
And the intensification of the frustration of steps.
The rain makes the earthy smells stronger and richer
And the photographic excellence of the resultant
Picture presents a needed antidote to the pestilence
That besmirches our islands, that spreads
in soundless menace, wastelanded mainland
And island, consumed by a silent rapacious predator.
