This Wonderful Wednesday we thought we’d add a third W and make it Wonderful Wordplay Wednesday!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Wordplay is any fun and amusing use of language to create an effect or say something in a different way. Probably the best known form of wordplay is alliteration, where you run words which start with the same letter, such as the famous “Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.” <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Another type of wordplay is the tongue twister, which often uses the similarity in the sounds of words and\/or words which are hard to pronounce in order without tending to make a speaking error, such as “She sells sea shells by the seashore.” <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Some formats of poetry rely on sorts of wordplay, such as the Acrostic where the poet writes a poem in which the first letter of each line spells out a related word when read vertically. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

There is also the Palindrome, in which the words in one or more lines are reversed and the whole still reads sensibly as a statement.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The possibilities are endless, but makes for a fun challenge and can generate a fine sense of accomplishment when you succeed!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Let your muse loose and see what wordplay appears!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Be sure to read and comment playfully on the other posted creations, and leave a heart at the top of this blog if you enjoyed yourself or plan to! -Bob\/Scotorum<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
