LOVE it !!

NOT an exaggeration !! :)

Exaggerate:

ticky tacky dreams
with sticky glowing smiles
exaggerate life.

As one prone very much to exaggeration at times... a reflex rather than something premeditated, I think! - I somehow relate to this... my life has always been rather PippyLongStocking surreal in actuality, so guess my hold in reality is rather ticky-tacky-too!!! Experience has taught me that nothing that happens is exaggeration but weird and wonderful in its own way. Great definitions, Dan... exaggerate is one of those words that you can never spell and which the more you say it the more its proportions swell like blotting paper in the mouth! I love to see your radiance in your bio pic whenever I pop across and that is nooooooooooo exaggeration! :)) BIG TICKY TACKY SMILE FROM ME!! xx

Extravagantly exaggerated poetry. What a fun piece.

Assignment well completed, Dan; thank you for sharing your results. Love and peace,

Dan - Enjoyed your response to your writers' challenge. Especially like that last stanza:

her dreams his hopes schemes
left both exaggerating
holding false dreams.


I do not exaggerate. - David

it must be wonderful to be in a writing group!!
I may start one in my area someday soon
as the nearest poet group readings are in Indianapolis & Chicago...sigh....

I love poetry exercises! This one man at yahoo 360 back in the day always offered his drawing art as exercise.

You have shared a wonderful piece!
Blessings Always Vickie

A change in a letter or two make a lot of difference in the meaning. Sob vs snob vs bon-bons vs boon vs boons vs spoon, etc... --Charlie

Very interesting assignment, well played. And that's no exaggeration! Patrick

Wonderful ways to use the word. Keep writing.

D L, it was just exaggeration I know, isn't that the title of an old song? -- perhaps I'm confused on that one -- I like the way you exaggerated here my friend -- write on -- peace and love be with you -- Jon Michael

Wonderful ways to use this word Dan.

D.L.,

Wonderful use of one word. But don't writing classes drive you nuts, they sure do me.
