Many people do a wordless Wednesday where they post lovely pics of the week. Most of my pics end up on Facebook, however, so I thought I would just do a Wordy Wednesday. What is a wordy Wednesday? Well, I think it would be fun to practice creative writing, fiction or non, so I am going to pick a word out of thin air and write a paragraph about it.
You are welcome to add your own paragraph in the comments, if you wish!
Word of the Week:
Alligator
For forty years Matt had spent a week in Florida, fishing the swamps. He loved waking before sunrise in his camper, stepping out barefoot in the morning grass to drink in the world. Today was no different. A riot of birds called overhead, and already the earth was warming under his feet. Through the years, friends had asked Matt how he ever got Mel to agree to letting him spend a week away. "I'm a lucky man," he would tell them with a grin. But honestly, he knew Mel relished her time alone just as much. Maybe that was luck. Matt took the last gulp of the strong coffee he had brewed, just as the sun hit the horizon. He started to turn toward the camper, and that's when he spotted it, a full-grown American alligator, just along the edge of the treeline, near the water. He often saw alligators when he was out, but this felt special to Matt. Perhaps, he mused, the alligator was slipping away for his own private viewing of the sunrise.
Yeah, that's hard. Haha.
