An Impromptu Combination of Combines
Continuing my Sunday visual poetry, I’m abandoning my magnets for a new overlay idea that goes well with today’s homograph “combine.” Combine As you have probably noticed, I like to unite prompts for a common purpose; many prompts join forces to create one poem.
