Reading poetry is a great way to learn new words. I remember the first time I found "manticore" in a poem and thought it was the neatest word. I'm still making my own manticores.Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01825251724115541708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-40074911780001772182014-01-31T10:54:54.714-08:002014-01-31T10:54:54.714-08:00Thanks for thinking about it, Rosi.

Ebb and Flow and Wax and Wane, but can't come up with anything beyond Push and Pull. But it's a great exercise thinking about this.Rosihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01294774973863802821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4114341568105527452.post-89393205655109333432014-01-30T11:42:13.219-08:002014-01-30T11:42:13.219-08:00Joy,
