Old Postcard Wednesday--Exhilaration ...of dance...and of words











For more exhilaration with words dance on over to Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus. {P.S. added after initial posting:  Visual Thesaurus allows some test runs then displays the option to pay for membership. I love the thing and paid a few years ago, putting it on one of my credit cards to automatically renew annually.}

    Cool postcard, and I love the lay-out of the visual thesaurus! It's almost like poetic diagrams. Thanks.

    It appears that someone was having fun with the thesaurus and dictionary.

    Well, anyone who was out looking for a thrill today will go away satisfied from here ! And no cheap thrills either... Pretty cool tool you found there... I think I'm going to bookmark it, never know when a thesaurus may come in handy...

    **EVERYONE~ Am leaving the house for the better part of the day and will reply individually later tonight. BUT I wanted to add (and will add to the post) that the Visual Thesaurus allows some test runs then displays the option to pay for membership. I love the thing and paid a few years ago, putting it on one of my credit cards to automatically renew annually.******

    Oh my, VT sounds to be something that might carry one away. Not necessarily a negative judging from all the fun you had with it.

    Jane~ Glad you enjoyed the postcard. When I saw it I knew I must have it to share.
    Visual Thesaurus is great. I use it seriously sometimes, too!

    mythopolis~ A poetic diagram: great description. :)

    izzy~ My pleasure. :)

    Darlene~ You got that right!

    Owen~ Thanks much. I began by bookmarking Visual Thesaurus, and ultimately paid to join. I like it. Obviously. :)

    Looking to the Stars, AKA Tickle Pink~ You are fun!

    naomi~ I loved the postcard but it is different from most I own, in that there was not much to research (other than the fact that there appears to have been a series of these dance postcards, because I bought one more, but I wasn't in the mood to check into that) so the VT helped to have fun with the one word on the card. :)

    i like how this brings another dimension to written language, makes it expand in space beyond the usual left-to-right line. it's like a dance :)

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
