“Twist” is filthy with meaning: it’s the unexpected, it’s surprise, it’s even an amazing ice cream choice. What does “twist” mean to you?
Being a bibliophile, I immediately think of a plot twist, the kind that makes you tingle with pleasure in the last chapters of the mystery novel you’re reading. “Wow! I never saw THAT coming!” Such delight. I did find an appropriately twisty photo that I snapped while hiking around Lapham Peak State Park in early spring. We were looking for lichen, on a whim, and found ourselves outside the warming house near the skating pond. I suppose they use that building for winter events, family-oriented programs that might include a craft project or something, because I happened upon this item posing as a lingering patch of snow in the leaf litter….
A plastic snowflake. Natural….but not. It made me laugh.

Twist makes me think of the dance that was popular when I was in high school. And the back ache I got when I danced it two years ago. (Tried to dance it, that is.) Fun.
One of my favorite scenes from The Worst Sci-Fi Film Ever is of a whole dance hall of movie extras doing the twist. ( “The Creeping Terror” is the film from 1964.) I like doing the twist myself. 🙂
Very fun post, Scilla. Plot twist was the first thing that came to my mind too.
Although it’s hard to imagine a photo of a plot twist, right?
I like how you saturated the snowflake. Its a great contrast
Thanks, Lana!
You’re welcome
Now that’s clever.
Found art, in the most literal sense. 🙂

Nice pic Scillster…..
BUT…’Filthy with meaning’…!!! 🙂
This post is worth a ‘like’ just for that alone.
Alas, I can take no credit for that phrase. That first line is a quote from the WordPress Daily Post prompt. 😦
Well….That shows how much attention I pay to my wordpressy-cyber-surroundings……
Still, I commend your honesty and intelligent plagiarism….It is rather a good little line isn’t it?
If it were mine to give, “filthy with meaning” would be my gift to you. It suits you!
Hmmmmm
I’m either deeply flattered or incredibly insulted……
I’ll give it some thought….
I would only mean it in the most complimentary way! 🙂
Whew……
🙂
Enjoyed the scillahyde exchanges as ever.. and enjoyed your little story too Priscilla 🙂
