Webster’s Word of the Day challenge
Each day a new word is given
BLT has issued this challenge
Use Webster’s Word of the Day
in your poem
After you post your poem
let BLT know
In the notes of your poem indicate
The word of the day Challenge
The word and definition
I try to put the date of the word,
but sometimes I forget
Then notify BLT
He will read the poem to
make sure it meets the HP standards
Then he will post it to his site
Then BLT notify you that he did so
This way your poem
gets additional exposure
You can see by the haphazard way
I laid out the instructions
These are not strict guidelines
This should be FUN
I find it a challenge at times,
To use the word on the exact day
Yet, curiously many times
I can incorporate a word
into my current poetry
that I would not have used before.
It’s challenging and fun when it’s done
It’s a game that has opened
up a brand new door daily.
Putting my braggadocio aside
Personally There are times when I have felt I have an inadequate vocabulary
This challenge is a self confidence booster
Also a way to improve your language
and add a new word to your lexicon.
A heart felt . Thank You
To BLT For creating this game
It’s truly been a challenge and adventure

BLT word of the day challenge
Haphazard 3-30-24
No apparent plan, order, or direction
Bonus words
3-29 Braggadocio
A brash boating annoying or exaggerating appearing more then you are
Lexicon a person’s vocabulary and branch of knowledge
You do not need to use more than one word per day but it’s cool when you can.
