THREES

[tree]

The rule of three is a writing principle which
suggests that things that come in 3s are more satisfying,
or more effective than other numbers of things.

Examples:

Stop. Look. Listen.
Snap. Crackle. Pop.
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.

To play Threes, post 3 words or phrases that are related.
If the relationship is rather obscure, go ahead and briefly
explain what it is about.

Words only in this game.
Not images.

I loved these books when I was little.

Igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.

There's a song about thisbut I'll put just a part:

There are three types of rocks that make up the crust.
Magma underneath provides the thrust.
Driven by the heat of the core.

Igneous made from magma
Metamorphic made from pressure and heat
Sedimentary from deposition
And with these three, the list is complete

in the shift from moral literature for children

to amuse and entertain."

You are not greedy.
If I had looked up all those flags,
I probably would have pieced them out
one or two at a time, in order to have
something to say...over time.
