I love words, they are my best friends. We have been going steady since I was three and discovered letters in a picture book. A new world of letters opened up, I entered and never left.
I see letters as shapes, as paintings, as letters that logically lock into place like jigsaw puzzles. Words are like a palette holding many colors: They can be descriptive, musical, comedic, colorful, instructive, destructive, thought provoking or mixtures of some or all these. Words can shape the way one think and acts.
So why not be inventive, daring, or colorful by painting sentences with a broad brush. Here are some word paintings I kind of like:
The cold stabbed at me, The tapestry of my life unfolded. I can here the sounds of trees growing. A bunch of ideas percolated in my head. His anger hurried his words along, he spat them out with machine gun speed.Finally, there are limitless word structures that call, nay, scream for your attention. They ensnare, they captivate, they move you to tears or laughter. Enjoy the world of words in blogs, books, newspapers, leaflets and anywhere you can find them. Enjoy the world of words.
