A twiglet is a short phrase. Or a word. 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 comments should not be expected. Twiglets are posted on Tuesdays.
Actually I have a kitchen trash lid that springs up – so I put some in a plastic container to weight it down. Sometimes the lid pops and even though I know what it is – I get startled.
Only have one Aggie the rest are various sizes of mibs or ducks 😉
Funny you should mention jacks. I was just talking with my grand daughter about them the other day — and the memory of my mom sitting on the floor with her full summer skirt hiked up, playing jacks with me has been in and out of my head the last few days. I think I shall have to find a set and teach my grand kids! 🙂

Put them into pretty little jars like jams and sell them at craft fairs?

Put them in a vase when arranging flowers. They’ll keep the stems positioned.

scabby knees squat low
agate rolled in sweaty palms
spit for extra luck
cold marbles wait for quick hit
king of the hood at six, shoots
