I want to try some of your ideas in class.<br /><br />Thank you.LibraryDragon/Storykeeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695194443477630515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-83345781199269936712011-03-19T13:04:21.004+11:002011-03-19T13:04:21.004+11:00Your idea to revive "skedaddle" reminded...Your idea to revive "skedaddle" reminded me of this website:<br />http://www.savethewords.org/<br /><br />I love your metaphor comparing the words to flowers:<br />magically bursting through into the light,- blossoming on the page<br /><br />This is beautiful language.

I always liked the phrase, Coleridge's poetry definition, "the best words in their best order", & now you've inspired me to work even more with words in my writing groups. Your phrase, 'words grew like flowers...blossoming on the page' is a poem in itself.Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915339669985059502.post-89200497585658892572011-03-19T00:00:17.782+11:002011-03-19T00:00:17.782+11:00Fascinating!

I have learnt many new words from doing my uni reading -most of which I am convinced are made up!<br />You may have seen these two websites (which I often browse)but if you haven't, I hope you enjoy them (and I hope that they help you with Words With Friends)!<br />Kim<br /><br />http://www.buzzle.com/articles/interesting-words-list-of-interesting-words-in-english.html<br /><br />http://www.factacular.com/subjects/Interesting_Wordsklcoveneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08545936972122363284noreply@blogger.com
