My blogs bring me so much joy. I love the creative curiosity that abounds from this writer's blog and my blog for animal lovers too. Sometimes I feel like I'm glued to your blogs. Many of your are such good writers that I feel like I'm in the middle of a good book or even a part of your lives.
Believe it or not, Tweedles (a pug dog) stopped by here the other day and asked me to share a creative writing activity.
Off the top of my head, I suggested that I could learn more about Tweedles by an activity that requires thinking outside the box. Somehow, I have a feeling lots of you are going to have a really good time with this activity too.
Many of you have used your senses to create this same poem (in another way) that I suggested for Tweedles. This time, I'd like you to use your senses to describe a pet or person that you really like. Play with words. Wallow in language. Have fun!
I asked Tweedles to fill in the blanks:
Tweedles looks like __________
She smells like __________
She sounds like _________
She tastes like __________
She feels like __________
Tweedles makes me want to ________
Here's Tweedle's poem!
Tweedles looks like a cute baby monkey
She smells like bubble gum
She sounds like a seagull with its mouth full of crackers
She tastes like strawberry shortcake
She feels like the softest velvet ever
Tweedles makes me want to giggle!
Here's the poem that I wrote about my granddaughter:
Alexa looks like a graceful swan
She smells like horses and shampoo
She sounds like a talking dictionary
She tastes like fresh fruit on a summer morning
She feels like a conditioned athlete
Alexa makes me want be a kid again!
Have any images formed in your mind? My guess is that they have.
Now it's your turn. Fill in the same blanks that Tweedles and I did. Choose an animal or person that you really have strong feelings about and use your senses to create a lovely picture with your words! I have no doubt that you'll be very descriptive. Why? Because you're writing from your mind and heart.
Can you do it? Yes you can! Please share!

Fun! Ali has been very busy this week with soccer camp, but she is wanting to post a story. I think she might like this challenge too. Friday is her last day for soccer. Look for her to write this weekend.
Cute!
Chrissy looks like a confident woman read to take on the world.

Bigfoot looks like a creature living in the woods with long scrungie hair all over it's body.
It smells like fear itself...
It sounds like a monster groaning and running from whatever it can.
It tastes like rough meat that's hard to rip or bite into with a horrible taste.
It feels like a 7 1/2 foot tall hairy monster that will eat you.
Bigfoot makes me want to run into a house and hide in a dark closet.

You are so welcome Tweedles! Thank you for sharing. Writing is fun...so are creative pugs!
I'm going to give this a try. My grandpa seems like a good person to write about. I miss him a lot so I hope it's okay that I write about him in past tense.
Grandpa looked like Santa Clause
He smelled like pine needles
He sounded like a trombone
He tasted like gingerbread just out of the oven
He felt like my oldest pillow
Grandpa made me want to snuggle
Oh Grandpa
What a memory you have left in a heart!
This is so beautiful!

Hi Jan and thank you for this fun activity, we usually visit you in your other room. This is so cool, my Mom will help me of course(no thumbs) and we will think of the answers together. Of course I will need treats for strength.

Sasha like a kid in furry pajamas
She smells like an ice cream cone
She sounds like a howler monkey

Hi Jan,
I've been over here reading your older posts for quite a bit of time today. Very interesting stuff.
It makes me realize that while I used to write often I rarely do it any more. The only real writing I have done on my blogs was a series around Mother's Day called Lucinda's Story on The Road to Here.
I'll have to think about it for awhile.
