Heading Here

#BlogBattle Week 26 “Head”

😀 I could have written something else, but tired brain wanted to play with the letter H. 🙂


Horace headed here hoping he’d have help housing his horse. He heard Houston harangued Hermiston’s Horse Haven. However his hapless hoopla happens, he has honest hope Houston hears his hype. His hearty hankering has hounded his head here hoping Hermiston’s Horse Haven hasn’t hurtled horizontally. His horse, Henry, has higher hopes, however Horace hasn’t heeded Henry’s heart. Here Henry hides his head, humiliated. Horace hums, heedless.


My dad made us a word search! 🙂 Have fun. 🙂

Here’s the link: Headed Here Word Search

    I had a terrible sleep last night Rachael, ZZZZZZZ, yawn, so this lifted me horizontally and hurtled me out of my hapless slumber! What fun, and very different Rachael, it’s great to mix things up a bit.

              “Alliteration: the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words.” It’s one of my favorite things in the world. I try really hard not to use it in my writing because once I get started it’s hard to stop. hahaha
