Exercise #685: Word Play
Posted 8/26/16
Today’s exercise comes from Sue F.
She would like us to come up with our own “crash blossoms.” What’s a crash blossom? See this article about newspaper headlines where nouns and verbs can be read interchangeably for very different results: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/31/magazine/31FOB-onlanguage-t.html.
Create and submit your original crash blossoms!
Sue recommended no critiquing as these will be very short, but . . .
Critiquers, you might choose to answer these questions for critiquing the piece:
* Did you catch any spelling errors or other standard proofreading items? If so, note them for the author.
* Did this work as a crash blossom? Why or why not?
Word limit: 500
Please use the subject line:
