Crooked Words

Image source:  gingerbeardman
Follow me back in time to the far away land of the wrinkled rhyme where the words were all crooked and walked with a limp.  Some letters were tattered and others torn.  Of better days they did now mourn. They were all a craggy lot who lived in a place that time had forgot.

    Meleah- Thank you!

    G-Man- It does have sort of a crooked old charm, doesn't it?

    Helen- Thanks!

    Brian- Not sure what they were trying to spell. I think some of the letters ran away.

    Cheryl- Glad you like it. Can't claim credit for the pic, though, it was a good fit.

    Hilary- Thanks, the whole piece was spun around those words.

    Shakira- Sorry to make you sad, but glad you liked it.

    Mona- Thank you. I got lucky finding that picture, so actually the pictured painted my words.

    Makes me wonder which came first, the photo or your words.

    where the words were all crooked and walked with a limp

    Just love that imagery. You certainly know how to put words together in an orderly way :)

    Hilary- Thanks! The pic did work really well with my story/poem.

    Margaret- The answer is the words came first and I found the perfect picture to represent them. Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for visiting.
