Hello my little wanderers! This week's Word List is taken from a marvelous novel I recently read entitled Sula by Toni Morrison. She is also the author of Beloved, The Bluest Eye, Tar Baby, and many more.
Sula centers on a pair of childhood friends; Nel, who grows up along the expected lines, marrying, having children, not making waves, and Sula, who is a wild spirit who does exactly as she pleases, and then lives with the consequences, as do many others in her wake. I loved this book. It moved me and I find myself still thinking about all the characters.
What we do here is to use at least 3 of the 20 words provided in a new, original poem of our own. Then simply link up, visit others, and then read some Morrison! This prompt remains active all week.
And now, your List:
bird
bizarre
cook
gossip
grace
grave
joke
kissed
mask
paints
pony
quilts
robins
screen
soap
songs
story
touched
true
voice
Can never get enough Toni Morrison!
