Abri

When you're looking for an abri,
You may settle for the first you see,
Because you may be running from something scary
Towards a shelter or refuge - an abri.

Every week I rhyme and define a new wacky word.
Come on over to indulge your inner nerd.
And, please let me know of any weird words you've heard.

    A fellow was shooting the breeze
    on Twitter where he felt at ease
    to school a rapper
    who was quite a yapper.

    Friday Photo Fun - Something Special

    Something Special
    by Rachel Hoyt



    Recently discovered to be more closely related
    to birds than previously shown through fossils we've dated.
    Once used to make guitar picks,
    Now, for other reasons, is hunted by hicks.

    Friday Photo Fun is when I share a randomly captured moment,
    or perhaps a photo experiment with more purposeful intent,
    then pair it with a rhyming riddle to exercise your mind
    and teach you more weird facts to which you once were blind.

    After the answer is guessed, I will post a second, non-abstract photo,
    and just in case you wanted to know,
    the first is not a photoshopped version of the second -
    they're shot using different techniques that to me beckon.


    Wanda should not be sorry for knowing me well
    and getting here early to guess correctly: turtle shell.
