    Fantastic list. Exactly what I like about everyday poetics that can be found everywhere. To me this kind of stuff is a type of writing. When I had to go to Vegas I'd go into the casinos just to pick up the horse racing sheets and scan through them for word entertainment. It was my kind of jackpot.

    I agree, nearsounds. I found the same kind of poetry in truckers' magazines at turnpike rest stops.

    Thanks nearsounds & mollusque. I like stumbling onto the snippets of conversations, slices of life and random words & imagery these names represent. These lists are fun to research & compile.

    Have to add my plaudits. Ten lists of these now, great going! Hope you can also find a place for Dulcify.

    I've never seen anyone else on the web compile a list like this or even acknowledge this as form of interesting writing. It's all about this kind of fun and then discovering new ways of seeing through words.

    I don't know how or when it happens but you begin to tune-in to that personal resonance and can be highly entertained by what others only see as mundane writing. I've been searching for someplace like this where others understand the possibilities of minimalism as a way that expresses so much more. Hi palooka and mollusque. Nice to meet both of you on here. I see that bilby commented a few minutes before I did. Hi to you too! Glad to see you enjoy this also.

    Thanks bilby - dulcify is a beauty.

    Thanks again nearsounds. That's the fun of Wordie - you're free to make your own lists, whatever your interests may be.
