When the coin was flipped it came up heads and the topic is hand(s). Anything you can do with your hand(s). Heads means freedom to write whatever/however you feel inspired to about the topic. When I taught one of the writing exercises I had my students do was list verbs about a noun then put them into verse to form a poem. Here is my attempt at that assignment.
Hand Can Do Many Things
Hands can do many things
Applaud a job well done
Sooth a fevered brow
Point out the right way
Hands can do many things
Stir a dough for cookies
Paint a beautiful portrait
Swat the bottom of a wayward child
Hands can do many things
Dial a phone to just say, "hello"
Type a message full of news
Write a love note never sent
Hands can do many things
Wipe away all kinds of tears
Snap a warning loud and clear
Clench in rage at injustice
Hands can do many things.

Yep, they're very useful things to have on the ends of your arms. And among other things, they can assist in writing nice poetry.
Thanks for that.
Wonderful writing and composing once again Patsy!!

Wow. I just love this exercise. I wish my teacher had us doing something like this while I was in school. Very creative.
I loved the varying emotions expressed in so few words.
Well done :)
