Here’s what a few of our  users have to say about WordCandy:

Still happily passing the sweets around, binging at times; still loving the sweetness, the surprises, the little bites to share with others. –Karin Fendick

I’ve snacked on words all my life. Thanks for this rich source of goodies. –Sheila Lagrand

Try using a WordCandy quote and photo as poetry writing prompt.

You could craft something brand new from the image, or use the line in a poem, like this from the Adrienne Rich line, “Listening for the future” from her 21 Love Poems:

It is a deep
and urgent

silence,

listening
for the      future

I used to be a claims adjuster, helping people and insurance companies make sense of loss. Now, I train other folks with ladders and tape measures to go and do likewise. Sometimes, when I’m not scaling small buildings or crunching numbers with my bare hands, I read Keats upside down. My first novel is Adjustments.
