Linky Luuurv - Purple Prose Edition

I am dragging my ass this morning. So instead of writing something with, yuh know, actual content?

...Here's some more linky lurrrv.

Courtesy of your friendly neighbourhood Wiki entry, the definition of "Purple Prose" is this;

"A term of literary criticism used to describe passages, or sometimes entire literary works, written in prose so overly extravagant, ornate, or flowery as to break the flow and draw attention to itself. Purple prose is sensually evocative beyond the requirements of its context. It also refers to writing that employs certain rhetorical effects such as exaggerated sentiment or pathos in an attempt to manipulate a reader's response."

I think that definition was written after someone read this.

Here my dears, is where it takes a turn for the truly odd.

Someone made a video, ".... which frantically attempts to keep track of the imagery, accompanied by a dramatic reading.



You're Welcome :)
