EXERCISE: A Phrase in Search of Words...
Original Posting: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 07:00:07 -0400
There, that's the line.
Let it percolate in your noggin. Feel the caffeine level rise. Listen to the little thumpalumpalumpbump of the water popping.
(Can you just imagine the frog-snatcher?)
And then let those words collate, collect, and drip down around the line.
(as for Wes, well, I am sure we all have thoughts about him...:-)
Put together a tale (or a poetry, or an essayery, or a whatchamadingle?) using that line...
Enjoy!
(with thanks to yael, without whom there would be no line. And just imagine starting this exercise without a line -- wouldn't that be missing the point?)
