Choices!
To play tic-tac-toe ,
To play tic-tac-toe ,
splurge on the
papyrus or polar bear?
Choices?

And Now for something completely different. A flash 55 quivel. Something that looks like a poem, uses at least three of Quilly’s words and has five words to a line for eleven lines

The Witch
Antediluvian is what she was
And he knew this because
By her very prolix speech
the words out of reach
And yet English they were
Of that he was sure
Ineluctable as the very tide
Took you for a ride
Out of antiquity she came
Witchcraft was her only game
world never again the same

ReplyDeleteInteresting 55's, I really enjoy seeing what dragon/s like to write about. Have a fiery weekend. :))
ReplyDeleteOMG! you are a word genius. Obviously all dragons are but wow! I bow down graciously to a master of the word.
ReplyDeleteI knew dragons were articulate speakers and great weavers of words, but until I met all of you, I had no idea how great! Yay, Fandango go.
ReplyDeletewhat a choice indeed.
