Poetry Challenge #47-Can I Have a Word?

At a loss for words? Aren't we all sometimes--which can be a total drag if you're trying to scratch down some lines, Daddy-o...

The cool thing about words is. . .

they are free, available, reusable, recyclable . . .

There are many excellent sites for Words of the Day.

Thank you One Squiggly Line—a great website!

One way to collect words is by looking through the Dictionary. (That’s a book.)

Absurd Words by Tara Lazar is a funny-bone tickler of a book listing odd, unusual, ridiculous words.

(Hint: It  a great kid-teacher-word nerd gift!)

And the trendy, hip thing to do—the way to stay current Daddy-O, is to use trending words. Here’s a few trendy words ala FluentU Language Learning. (The list was updated in September 24, so there might be even trendier, trendy words.)

Poetry Challenge #47

Can I have a word?

For today's stretch, what say we get hip, with-it, happening dude, by riffing off the trend!

First you need to collect a few words—at least five from any source that amuses you. (Stretch a bit and include at least one trendy word)

Now write a poem/story/something using those words.

Set the timer for 7 minutes.

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it.
