A pair of purple trees
The smaller tree is in a bathroom. I can't leave a room undecorated, can I?
Writing: Purple as in purple prose should be avoided. According to Dictionary. com purple prose is that writing that calls attentions to itself because of its obvious use of certain effects, as exaggerated sentiment or pathos, esp. in a attempt to enlist or manipulate the reader's sympathies. Good writing is invisible. It wraps the reader and pulls him into the story.
While purple prose should be avoided, this purple tree is to die for!
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, I came here on JFKlaver's invite. Purple prose...never heard of it, but wouldn't you want to be manipulating the reader's sympathies?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more trees!
Here via JFKlaver ... lots of fun trees. Purple prose? Learned something new today. Thank you. Hope you enjoy your new blogging venture.
ReplyDeletePurple prose or obvious manipulation means the writer is so enamored of his words he's forgotten his readers. Readers are pretty smart and they don't like being pushed and told what to think and feel.
