Spoken word is not quite the same as poetry and short prose can be very entertaining and good to listen to.
I have devised a little game which may amuse those of WOL devotees who wander to these pages in search of diversion.
If you play with someone else it is more fun, but fellow players may respond here.
Here's the challenge:
open a book at a random page and take the first and the last LEXICAL WORDS on that page.
Write a sentence which includes those two words.
The sentence must be ONLY ONE sentence, and must make sense.
Score it by counting 1 for each word in your sentence but 2 for the words you got from the book.
What is a Lexical word? It is a noun, verb, adjective or adverb; a word that refers to objects, states, actions (passions), qualities, in real or imagined worlds. What it is NOT is grammatical words with no external reference except suggesting time, cause, place etc.
Whats the point of the game?
Making the longest sentence that hangs together successfully. Getting the biggest score. Letting your imagination take control.
