Thank you for linking.
So you know what I'm thinking.
It's coffee I'm drinking.
From hard work, I'm shrinking.

Tomorrow's a dream.
So for today, I'll scheme.
Filling out a paperless ream,
With no solid, fixed theme.

It's about using words, of course, but, while an occasional favorite or boost happens, there's little engagement.

A two-part Challenge Proposal:

A) Post a toot using the word in any way, sentence, story, analysis, rhyme...

B) Doodlers and Artists, use the word as the subject of a #SketchChallenge

Get in on the fun of words and visual imagination.

Start today?

Remember to use the #WordOfTheDay hashtag, of course.

Thanks to anyone who decides to follow this account.

I have a habit of responding to all who do so, but this is a second account, and I may mess up when trying to determine who is a new follower and who is "also" following after connecting by way of my mastodon.cloud account.

It is not my intent to litter myself all over the fediverse. I will see how things go. I've made connections with several others on mastodon.art and think I'll feel at home here while NOT restricting my toots to artistic attempts. It looks like the instance won't generally mind.

Words have art in them, too.

Good luck to all of us.

Strength to the fediverse through the efforts of individuals.

i suspect Nugenix should probably be called Oldgenix, considering the segment of the population running to buy it.

Hey, he did hang around to favorite it!

I wonder.

Would there be anyone out there be interested in watching a reality series about the south Florida beach crowd called...

"Growing up Flip Flop"

heinous

/ˈheɪnəs/ /ˈhiːnəs/
adjective
(of a person or wrongful act, especially a crime) utterly odious or wicked.

Origin
Late Middle English from Old French haineus, from hair ‘to hate’, of Germanic origin.

=====-------=====

Snidely Whiplash is famous in the cartoon world for the heinous crime of tying Nell Fenwick to the train tracks. He might have been seen as even nastier if he'd used chain!
#WordOfTheDay

I was recently reading a science fiction story about a scientist visiting with different cultures...

...then I realized she was talking about bacterial cultures.

About your next rant.
Will it be relevant?
Consider forgoing it
If the evidence is scant.

#SmallPoems

Start now. Create!
It's never too late.
A rhyme in time
Is really sublime.

It may never end...may it never end!

The muse speaks to me...

...no that's just mews from my hungry cat.

Reading it again, I think I'd change the final line to "Find here their cozy homes."

Everything is a Work in Progress.

@dogtrax

specify

/ˈspɛsɪfʌɪ/
verb specifies, specifying, specified
[with object]
1 Identify clearly and definitely.
1.1 with clause State a fact or requirement clearly and precisely.

Origin
Latin specificare

=====-----=====

It is difficult to specify the exact degree to which the temperature will rise during the day.

Forecasters here typically say something like "It will be in the upper 40s." Of course in countries using metric temperatures, that is far from good news. #WordOfTheDay

#SmallPoems
Not long tomes
Shared rhymes by the ounce
Find here their homes.

Reach out
Give others a shout
Sharing is caring
Don't be a lout.

#SmallPoems

folksy

/ˈfəʊksi/
adjective folksier, folksiest
1 Having the characteristics of traditional culture and customs, especially in a contrived or artificial way.
2 Informal and unpretentious.

=====----=====

Tricked out might be a better description than folksy for an accountant from Texas who wears both a Stetson hat and fancy cowboy boots to his office.

#WordOfTheDay

I think that I have put down roots
Here among the streams of toots
Associated with the Mastodon.arts
Feeling really comfy in these parts.

#SmallPoems

Thank You:
@Curator @CuratorClassic

Got that shut-in feeling
This is how I'm dealing.
A bag of chips later
Not feeling any greater.

To deal with that strange itchin'
Walking to the kitchen
To get more munchy stuff.
Is not exercise enough

I need to climb some stairs
Or vacuum those stray hairs
Move the muscle masses
Till the food urge passes!

#SmallPoems

In these current times of strife
Schools are closed, you see.
Students' minds, though, need not be.
Learning is full-time, for your life.
