from dictionary.com:
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.
