"Whether together or not, in giving thanks we are all connected." — Dalan DEFINITION of this 4-syllable noun:
I tell ya, some of these words-of-the-day are really hard to use in any poem or prose writing... let alone haiku. I'm considering using several "word-of-the-day" sources so I have more to choose from! Nominalize... meh. DEFINITION of this 4-syllable verb:
Ah, Waking Ned Devine... one of our all-time favorite films! Eileen Dromey played Lizzie Quinn, the miserly, miserable spinster, the pivotal vote who gets "bumped off" at the film's brilliantly written and choreographed climactic scene! DEFINITION of this 4-syllable adjective:
Three of my friends posted this photo at about the same time. It's just SO awe-inspiring. To think the closest star is 93 million miles away; the rest... indeterminable. Yet stars are so embedded in our psyche; so close, so accessible. All you have to do is look up on a clear night! DEFINITION of this 4-syllable adjective:
This "photo" made me laugh out loud. I love the kind of mind who sees this photo and — by whatever inspiration — has the brilliant idea to Photoshop in cymbals and a picnic basket. I guess my haiku might be a "captionku" since it really needs the photo to be complete! DEFINITION of the 3-syllable noun:
Louis Zamperini, inspiration for "Unbroken," directed by Angelina Jolie. "... forgiveness has to be complete. If you hate somebody, it’s like a boomerang that misses its target and comes back and hits you in the head. The one who hates is the one who hurts. I talked to girls at a school in Palos Verdes and I said, 'If you want to age quickly, then hate somebody.' After that, I got a letter from one of them, she was probably 15. 'I went to a girl whom I’d hated for two years and I asked her to forgive me,” she wrote. “Now we’re the best of friends.' So forgiving someone is healing. To hate somebody hurts you physically, mentally, and spiritually." Louis passed last year at 97. R.I.P. "The average person should walk eight flights of stairs a day. I do at least that much, maybe double. Besides that, no matter what happens, if I have a cheerful countenance all the time, nothing gets me down." DEFINITION of this 4-syllable adjective:
