Good morning everyone and welcome to the five word challenge. The Monday vocab exercise where we pick five words think about them, bend them and twist them and shape them into one coherent piece of writing. That is the only rule. It doesn’t matter what you choose to write, poetry, prose, an expose on the breeding cycles of the snub nosed flibbernox. Just use all five words. As always I will put the full definitions below to help spark some hopefully new thoughts. I was especially surprised by Spark actually. Happy Writing.
