Wrong Idea #3 Resplendent

Posted by joefxd in Uncategorized on 10.08.2009

I’ve been out of it for a bit after my seasonal allergies turned in to a sinus infection, but I’m back this week with a new word, Resplendent, from Walt’s Children of Adam.

Wrong Idea Contest #1: Mullein & Pokeweed

Posted by joefxd in Uncategorized on 09.10.2009

Each week I’m going to post a sketch or picture of a word or phrase I didn’t immediately understand from one of Walt Whitman’s works.

The trick is that these pictures are definitely not what the word means, but instead are what I thought they sounded like they mean.

This week “mullein & pokeweed” from “Song of Myself”.

M&P

Now the first person to leave what this really means in a comment gets a point, the person with the most points at the end of the semester gets a tray of cookies.

Let the games begin.
