a
Leah Noble Davidson
A is for Anna, the woman you will fall in love with next year, who wraps her opus in alabaster eyes; Anna’s hello echo will crush your throat like a trash compactor. And b. B is for the second word you’ll think you have for a sight like Anna walking by, but, to fold a smoke like that on to paper, you’ve got to have c and d words.
First…
think of a person with whom you are in a relationship. It can be a spouse, sibling, mother or father, dog, coworker, boss, etc.
Using the letters of the alphabet from A – Z make a list of words that relate that person or to your relationship with them…
For example:
A is for Allowance
B is for Beauty Parlor
C is for Collard Greens
