Prisoner of any moist hole — eek!

Lots of stray lines to gleen from this experimental poem. I like all the gizmos, they’re fun to play with. I have a set of magnetic poetry in Spanish I used to use for my students. I had to pluck some of the more risque words from the batch, since it was public school!

Thanks for the kind words, y’all.

Too late it occurred to me why it doesn’t look much like a fly: NO WINGS! They would have been really tricky, though, at this scale.

Wow! There is no part of that poem that is not wonderful.

This is quite amazing. I looked at shufflewords and felt totally uninspired. (forgot to put my name on previous post)

That cuts it! Out come the magnetic words again. My granddaughter loves it when we have them on the refrigerator. We obviously need to get more creative. Thanks for the inspiration.
