Yesterday I tweeted a photo of a tree near my house, in a post about pareidolia (seeing faces and other images in everyday objects). This morning I woke up to find this from the wonderful @PrivateerArt.
Donβt let anyone tell you that Twitter has lost its magic.

Word thatβs making me smile today: pareidolia. Itβs the tendency to find faces or other meaningful patterns in everyday things. A fox in a cloud, a heartbeat in white noise, an owl in a tree trunk.

Skip
Skip, in a moment of joy,
a second of celebration,
Unhindered by inhibitions,
Released to rejoice
In life, letβs skip, skip, skip!

Lifeβs a Leap
Lifeβs a leap, a hop, a skip
Go chase the day before it dips
Lifeβs a hop, a skip, a leap
Go save a smile before it fleets
Lifeβs a skip, a leap, a hop
Go catch a tick before it tocks

Teachers! Have you seen this book? Shaping the World, a book of shape poems about heroes who have shaped our world - 20 women, 20 men, including all the ones you know, and some who should be more well known, especially women! Great for cross-curricular- history, art, and poetry!

We heard its claws
And only caught a glimpse
Of its blood-red eyes
Before the howl sent us scurrying
Hurrying back into the light.
Your 86th #prompt is: #claws

Inspired by @AlexPriceWriter daily series, we are looking at cinquains. A poem that is formed of five lines, in the strict syllable structure of:
Line One: 2
Line Two: 4
Line Three: 6
Line Four: 8
Line Five: 2
For our topic, we are picking the word: Fangs.
Good luck!
