PROSAIC adjective
1. commonplace or dull; matter-of-fact or unimaginative: a prosaic mind.
2. of or having the character or form of prose rather than poetry.


Brian’s visual trick / sentence : MS. ROSE’S PROSE or ROSA’S MOSAIC


pROS-aic
“ROS” = ROSE


PROS-aic
“PROS” = PROSE


p-ROSA-ic


Prosaic Rhymes with:
MOSAIC


—-


My English Teacher, Mrs. ROSE, told us that she prefers poetry because PROSE can be so PROSAIC.


——-


This next sentence works as a visual trick as well—just imagine Rosa’s bored yawn as she looks at the PROSAIC MOSAICS:


ROSA yawned as she wandered through the stone art exhibit at the museum. “If you ask me,” she said, “THOSE are some PROSAIC MOSAICS.”
