![]() ![]() I think I’ll be playing with a few new ideas this week. One of the things that can help is reading more poetry and piecing together the parts that draw my attention. The first Winnie the Pooh book wasn’t published until two years after this book had been out.įor me, I’ve been working on developing more lyricism in my prose. Christopher Robin pokes his head in as well. I’m told this is the first appearance of Winnie the Pooh’s character, although at this point he is only referred to as the tubby bear. ![]() ![]() Milne does a wonderful job using repetition to create a sing-song quality to his verses which would make it fun to read these aloud to children. After writing prose for so long, it’s a nice change to see it done differently. I also loved the freedom of using words for their rhythm and repetition and not being tied down to grammatical standards. It really is a lovely collection of ideas drawing the reader back to a simpler time when a kitchen chair was a cage for a lion and a tubby bellied bear felt bad about his roundness until he met a handsome and equally tubby prince. ![]()
