My tag cloud inspiration.
I chose my blog’s tag cloud (muse splash) as a prompt for the latest writing 101 assignment. Conjunctions have been provided to protect the innocent and their sanity. See how many tags you can find, then turn your computer upside down to discover how many I employed. (Or just glance to the right to see if you found them all).
A Life Shared.
We were as random a romance as Limbaugh and Obama, but that didn’t keep us from floating down life together, like Autumn leaves on the Little Spokane River. We portaged our dreams from Spokane to The Netherlands to Argentina to Brazil to Portugal to South Africa to San Francisco to Germany to France to Seattle to Italy to Chile to Costa Rica to Snoqualmie Falls to Mt. Olympus to Mt. Spokane.
The World Cup was our oyster.
We played football (soccer) like Chelsea and debated politics like Congress. Travel was our photography, nature was our prose. We slept on beaches like turtles and watched the Perseids drop into the ocean. We hiked through history in the EWU libraries and carved our fiction like October pumpkins.
Autism thieved our hope. In the democracy of our fears, we hid from holidays like dogs hide from fireworks.
Avalon retrieved our humor. She chased waterfowl through rivers and wetlands like a Christmas puppy deep in the snow. She embedded herself in our lives like taxes and the national debt in a tea party speech.
Then we rediscovered books and characters, Spain and Hemingway. We attended Get Lit! and NaNoWriMo, gulping down writing like coffee.
And even as smoke fills the panorama of our lives, we still hold hands while watching the meteors fall into the sea.
Answer: 6/
Loved it! Wasn’t in the least distracted by the tags, I thought you fitted the post’s style well into the task.

Thank you. We are very lucky, in a small community like Spokane, to have a literary festival of this quality. It has been graced by the likes of Kurt Vonnegut, Jess Walter, Naomi Wolf, Jane Smiley, and Sherman Alexie.
