This week, Word Crafters, Colleen has selected words to get us going. These words are opposites with many synonym possibilities:
I have written a Tanka, I have used the synonyms, Taut, rigid, compressed, and slack, released, discharged.
Tempers pulled so taut
Let to slip through slack fingers
So long held rigid
Released to flow, river like
Discharged like compressed feelings!
If we were having coffee , every Sunday
Salty like hot dogs (and tears). Sweet like marmalade (and life).
Rants, humor, sarcasm, and a haiku-like substance? It's hard to know what's going to come out of our minds next.
