Weak comparisons, the bane of many a writer (myself included). Thanks for the list.

Mary we think alike because we wear the same tin foil hats!

Thanks Ann!

Bish I remember her! She was on the knowledge network sometimes (I grew up with three TV channels and that was one of them).

Shannon, that is so beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing it!

ElanaJ--I do that too. A word will hit me and i get shivers because it's exactly right!

Conda and Niki, thanks so much for stopping in and commenting!

Thanks Karen! I hope it helps!

I used the word “freckled” the other day in my WiP. I was like, “oooh, good word!!”

I don't know why, but this post makes me think of Gerard Manley Hopkins's poem, "Pied Beauty".

Glory be to God for dappled things--
For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;
For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;
Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches' wings;
Landscape plotted and pieced--fold, fallow, and plough;
And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;
Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)
With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;
He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:
Praise Him.

How many remember the comicbook character Little Dot? She was all about dots.
