Only 3 more of these to make! (I was overly ambitious this past Christmas.)
And this is the latest from the jewellery course:
Simple, but I like it.
Meanwhile, I've been thoroughly distracted by the party going on over at Evening All Afternoon with Emily's discussion of Jiggery Pokery, a collection of double-dactyl poems. (See her post for an explanation of the poem's structure.)
Once I read a few of her examples, it was impossible not to start thinking of 6-syllable double-dactyl words (with the emphasis on first and fourth syllables: LA de de LA de de, like walzing)... and from there it's a slippery slope to writing one of my own. So, here you go.
The Rex
Thundery-blundery
King of the lizards he
Stomped through the Jurassic
Jungles of old
Wrecking and pillaging
Tyrannosaurically
Never prepared him for
Earth to grow cold.
A few upcoming projects:
- Get a UK driving licence
- Make summer travel plans
- Learn to play an instrument
- Read, read, read
- Knit, knit, knit
- Blog, blog, blog
What's distracting you these days?
Hi, I just discovered your blog and I really like reading your reviews! I've been distracted by trying to enroll in uni. Good luck with the driver's license, it's bizarre at first driving on the wrong side.
ReplyDeleteLucia, Very pleased to make your acquaintance. I hope your uni application comes together! Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHaha, YAY, your double dactyl is fantastic! "Tyrannosaurically" is a hilarious, awesome six-syllable option.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Emily. Not as literary as yours!
