The Authors


The Authors

Elegant hands behold:  Plain people
and drab days make quaint places;

dazzling books cast magnificent worlds

by Margaret Bednar, June 16, 2019

My nod to all the Newbery Award books I read (and loved) as a child.

Linked with "Imaginary Garden with Real Toads - Weekend Mini-Challenge.  Exquisite Corpse Poetry".

This is an example of an Exquisite Corpse Poem.  Click on link for explanation.  If you want an exercise that involves tearing your hair out, give it a whirl!

Wow, you got some good words in good order – and saw how to use them brilliantly.

Rosemary is correct, you got excellent groups. I really love the intro, like a drum roll for the wonder to come.

P.S. I hope you find a good had. Bald heads get cold, even in the (almost) summer.

Thank you for giving it a go!

Margaret, I believe you are the lucky monkey who got a real poem from pounding on your typewriter keyboard. [:=)

A funny. "Hand" got into my verb pile, like 'hand it over to me.
