Time to move on ...

Okay ... this has been fun, but it's taking up way too much time.  Time to move on.  Hope I've provided you with some mild amusement and a brief distraction from the demands of everyday life.  Here are Mike's word plays and one last attempt at being artistic (not?) by me.

Mike's Creations (answers below ...)

Know this seems to be true in my life at times ... not bad for less than 10 min.'s of work?

More WordPlays ... An Artistic Take

Regarding my post 'Play on Words', for 2/8/2010:  These are plays on words that I came up with after working on my book for 5 hours straight, at 2:00 a.m. in the morning.  Not bad for a tired and wired mind, but I knew that there were probably tons more of these ... and some loads better than what I was able come up with at 2:00 a.m..  So with this in mind,  I asked my artist brother to see what he could come up with, and he in turn gave another artist friend of his a tap on the shoulder as well.  Together they came up with some pretty inventive, somewhat artistic, and tres cool WordPlays.  Waiting to see if they are okay with my publishing them here to riddle you. 

While I'm waiting for their reply, here are some more complex/artistic renditions that I came up with up during normal waking hours (what a concept, eh?   ; ) ....

Let me know if any of you come up with any great plays.  That reminds me ... I guess I should illustrate the 4-play suggestion that I received, no?

Here are my brother's ... Aaron's ... creations ...

Play on WORDS ...

'Play on Words'

Play on words?  Play with words? Working with words can be fun, sometimes when you hit a wall though: it’s just plain W-O-R-K. It’s almost 2 a.m. and I need a break from writing the novel! So thought I’d have some fun with words. I’ve seen some of these before … expanded upon the idea to create the rest.

Here’s how it works …
Example: S D R O W => words in reverse or “backwards”


If you need to do some mind calisthenics, need a break or just want to have some FUN … see how you do … Answers at the end.

[Let me know if I made any mistakes ... it's LATE now ... I'll double check tomorrow after some sleep.]

Enjoy!

P.S.  Feel free to share with your friends ... I don't care ... these are in jpeg file format.  Hah!  Had an interesting suggestion for the word "play" used in a number 4 configuration.  Good play, but I think I'll leave that one off for now.  ; )

Busy day ... just got to rechecking this.  See that I got order reversed on LIFE and DEATH.  No one else caught this?  Will fix and repost.  Thanks!  : ) => Fixed.
