A twiglet is a short phrase. Or a word. Maybe two. Its aim is to “prompt” a flow. A thought. A memory. If something comes to mind, write. A polished piece isn’t the goal; creativity is. Leave a link, if you’d like your work read, but note that comments should not be expected. Twiglets are posted on Tuesdays.

winks at wrink-

mid-afternoon

LOVE this. I wanted to play with “wink” and “wrinkled,” too, but with parentheses. Didn’t end up happening. I love your take…I also see “lead linens” – something heavy is afoot.
