Poefusion offered these five words as a prompt: earth, deluge, fluvial, calm and inspissated. After a few dictionary peeks, I managed to eke out the following free verse.
in the calm days
pulled by a fortnight
of squalling deluge
earth gave up
fluvial treasures
inspissated bedrock
uncovered black sand
holding rugged nuggets
gold that outshone the sun
panners roiled the stream
