So here is what I am going to do (or rather, this is what the writing exercise suggested I do).
I've made a list of tangible nouns and intangible nouns, as you can see. I wrote them all on little slips of paper and put them in two different piles. I drew one word from each pile and make phrases out of the. If you feel so inclined, add a couple of your own in the comments section!
1. A stone of love as in he/she felt the first stone of love sink to the bottom of his/her stomach.
2. A forest of hunger or maybe hungry as a forest? So far these aren't turning out as good as I hoped. But there are still many to go.
3. A bowl of harmony. I kind of like this one. You gotta eat yourself a big ol' bowl of harmony every morning to get you through the day!
4. A flower of beauty or a flowering beauty. This one is kind of unoriginal. But still nice.
5. A blanket of desire. I like this one. Especially if you think of a blanket as not a literal blanket but an object that covers and distorts everything else, as desire can. Especially when it is confused with love.
6. A rope of understanding. Hm...this one is tricky. I'm not sure I see it.
And now, here is how they are presented side by side in columns.
A plateful of fear or a fearful plate
A tissue of anguish or an anguished tissue
Ropes of hunger or a hungry rope
A bowl full of desire or a desire to bowl
A blanket of want or a wanting blanket
A sock full of energy or and energetic sock
A house of love or a lovely house
A note of harmony or a harmonious note
A clock of beauty or a beautiful clock
A mountain of understanding or an understanding mountain
An ocean of thought or a thoughtful ocean
A desert of excitement or an exciting desert
A forest of foreboding or a forbodeing forest
A river of laughter or a laughing river
A stone of pain or a painful stone
Dirty disquiet or disquieting dirt
A book of respect or a respectful book
Even better are how they match up offset by one on the list starting with fear and tissue
A fear tissue or a tissue of fear
A rope of anguish or an anguished rope
A bowl of hunger or a hungry bowl
A blanket of desire has already been mentioned.
A sock full of want and thats all I have
A house of energy or an energetic house
A note of love or a lovely note
A clock of harmony or a harmonious clock
A mountain of beauty (is not original)
An ocean of understanding
A desert of thought or a thoughtful desert
A forest of excitement or an exciting forest
A river of foreboding or a foreboding river
A stone of laughter or a laughing stone
Dirty pain or painful dirt
A book of disquiet or a disquieting book
And finally we have a plateful of r-e-s-p-e-c-t (I know what it means to me) or a respectful plate
Well there it is. A writing excercise that I exhausted. I hope you are all as bored here at the end of it as I am. Actually, the only reason I am posting thing is because I am NOT going to delete another post before posting it.
This will be posted and the only person who might read it is my mother. So mom, I hope you had fun.

This morning, as my stomach was tied up in a hungry rope, I sat at the computer listening to the harmonious clock tick away the minutes. I looked out into the garden when Trissy had dug our her obsessive tendencies in the disquieting dirt....
oh, I could go on and on. Nice post
