Cento: Self Is

Well, hello again. Perceiving a slight challenge from a couple of you [cough Mary, Teri cough], I swung into action. Yes, I am sneaky. You remain in the dark about my particular self, but I had great fun working through the statements I gave you and coming up with a cento. Cento: An I For [...]

Playtime: Friday Freeforall

7:23 a.m. — Atlanta Hello, everyone. C’mon weekend!

Self and the Poetic Voice: Thursday Thoughts

8:12 a.m. — Atlanta Hello, all. Listening to Harry Chapin and thinking about an early second cup of coffee. Below is what I wrote on Tuesday, planning to start with it and then give you a prompt. You know the length of the prompt. Can you imagine if this were tacked on?! Mmmm, Neil Diamond… [...]

Self Is: Tuesday Tryouts

8:11 a.m. — Atlanta Hello! I just spent an hour writing a discourse on self and realised that there was no way I could then ask you to attempt a prompt. Too many things I am asking you to think about and consider. Also, that would make the post the longest I have ever written. [...]

For the links to read the poems and to read what others have written from this wordle, head over to The Whirl. I enjoyed this even more than usual. When I first wrote the [

WordPress Rant @ Your Serendipity

7:51 a.m. — Atlanta Hello, all. Welcome to Wordbook, or is that Facepress? I am a fairly placid sort, but one of the things that ticks me off is when a large-scale decision affecting my day-to-day interactions is made behind my back, especially when it appears to be an unpopular decision.

Caterpillar Days for We Write Poems

We Write Poems asks us to delve back into our memories, to retreat back to the earliest and then to bring them out and write about them. I not only have a poem ready in time for this prompt, I have two versions of it. The first I like but I have been writing so [...]

Winter Count: Tuesday Tryouts

7:53 a.m. — Atlanta What is your earliest memory? And other early memories? We Write Poems, this week, asks us to go back to the beginning, to recall the events that flash through our minds when we try to remember our earliest memories, not memories fed by photographs, or family stories, but true me

Spine Poetry

Hello! Think of all my extra appearances this week, as making up for my probably erratic summer. clichés are born in truths and this week was a feast for my fingers, rather than the famine that strikes sometimes, even when I want to write. I usually respond to The Sunday Whirl‘s prompt and never hav
