Next word object:

babbling brook

Go
Show vs tell. How to do that? Ok. Use sense words, and, show who, what, when, where, why. That’s tuff! Hi. My name is Brook. Sorry. I’m babbling. What babbles? Rocks! Yeah yeah Brook has rocks in his…funny! Not. Rocks? How big a rock? The size of a ping pong. Ping pong? Is that a foreign language? No! It’s a babble language. Bonus. Ping is sound. Ok. Getting somewhere. Where? Well, I’m showing babble sound…..smooth rock the size of a ping pong….knock, knock, knock. Who is there? Babbling here.

Knock some rocks together
Put them in some rushing water
Close your eyes
Think sunny day
Reclining, resting, in the green grass smells
Rocks talk through water dreams.
So says babbling brook.
