Magic - Pure Magic

Thank you so much for leaving your ideas. This is going to be so much fun!

Magic is what writing is all about. Finding words to cast that magic is what we can do together. Writing activities don't have to be long or difficult. They need to be joyful. They need to inspire you to "spice" up what you write.

Together, we can find ways to say the same thing in lots of different ways. Then, whenever we want, we can let what we do spill over into our own pieces.

We can help our children learn to think outside the box, just like we do.
We can let our imaginations "run wild" together!

So, here we go! What word or phrase could replace the word "lazy" in the following sentence:
He looked lazy.

Example:
1. like a slow moving train
2. like a sleepy elephant

Your turn. Think outside the box. Help me get rid of the word LAZY. We can start a new thesaurus! Leave as few or many words as you like. Please invite other bloggers to join us. Bloggers are writers. Let's fill our very own thesaurus to the brim!
*Please come back more than once if you think of other ways to show "lazy"

Love your blog! I found you through Tweedles. I am thinking...He looked tired or He looked lathargic.

He looked like Lily! LOL... I'm feeling lazy today. Just wanted you to know I'm still reading. Just been so busy I don't have time to participate. But when I saw 'lazy' I couldn't help but jump in!

Reading is just fine! I'm feeling lazy today too...actually, I'm feeling like the broken motor in my disposal that barely hums.....

He looked lazy like a wilting flower after a downpour.

He looked slothful, as the languid smile crept across his face...

Somnolent? Languorous? Lethargic?

He looked like a sleeping squirrel draped over a comfortable branch.

He looked like a sunbathing corgi, his legs stretched out behind him, cooling his belly on the grass.

He looked like a stretching, yawning cat that turns around and repositions for another hour-long nap.
