Object Writing - Prime

The word "Prime", unedited writing, mining for interesting metaphors and such, 10 minutes, go!.....

He was as primed for action as a lawn mower on a warm Saturday morning. Red rubber button cover protruding like a bulbous clown nose. Freshly brewed coffee wafted by his nostrils like unleaded exhaust fumes from a sputtering grass chopping machine. It was as if his hands were on the gear handle, his mind strolling back and forth across the list of items he must mow through to feel a sense of accomplishment that day. He filled his cup with java fuel, brought it to his lips, and felt the warm cream and sugar and coffee mixture fill his empty tank. First three sips like a weed-eater string pull with the choke on.

(Writing Better Lyrics - Pat Pattison)

Okay, I can do this...

1. Grating >> Feather

Her presence to him was like a grating feather to a person that hates to be tickled.

2.  Walking >> Picture frame

He gazed on the photo in the dark brown wooden border surrounding it that practically became a walking picture frame leading him by the hand down memory lane.

3. Splashing >> laughter

She bounced into the room, her vibrant sense of humor and splashing laughter turning every head and washing over every stodgy heart.

4. Tinkling >> Eye rolling

Her tinkling eye rolling sent chimes of disapproval to his sensitive, listening heart.

5. Lifted >> Wedding

The lifted wedding rose to new dazzling emotional heights as they exchanged vows in their new American language.

6.  Hanging >> Sarcasm. (Okay, so I did six)

Hanging sarcasm adorned his every un-festive word.

My first attempt at hanging/friendship turn into a verb. Try again! Still I liked what I wrote for it....

They each boarded their respective flights and left their friendship hanging like an old familiar snugly coat, knowing they could pick it up again on a moments notice.
