If you want to read some good poetry, Diane - who has taken over the hosting of this challenge - and Mimi of
Messymimi's Meanderings - who also supplies us with topics - are writing wonderful, funny,
thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and
read.
Karen of
Baking in a Tornado
has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month -
may we hope for more!
SpikesBestMate
often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
Jenny at
Procrastinating Donkey
who has been a faithful participant, is taking a break due to her husband's passing from
this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of
prayers her way.
I have something more to ask of you: If you read this and the
poetry of others, would you please leave a comment. Half - if not more - the
fun of these challenges is receiving the responses of others.
The lonely socks' bin is growing,
Newcomers every week.
I wonder and I scratch my head
whene'er I take a peak
Why is it that the loney sock
from today's wash
never match the ones inside?

Blogger is still randomly putting comments in spam-jail. I promise to free them as fast as possible.
A discouraging but true state of affairs around here as well.
SvarSletThe more people, the more single socks. An easy equation.
SletA dilemma for the ages! Where, oh where are those missing socks?
SvarSletYes where? Some of the singles have been in the basket for years. I'm still hoping.
SletDespite the fact that socks never separate here I am smiling at your poem and wondering just how many lonely sock bins there are... Two at least for affected households it seems to ensure that the lonely are never reunited.
SvarSletI have one lonely socks' bin, it's big and I empty it very seldom, always hoping for that fave sock of mine to show up.
SletYes, we've all 'bin' there, and still got the lonesome sock to prove it.
SvarSletPerhaps we should invest in prescribed T-shirts bearing the logo 'Have you seen this sock?' / photo / 'Please contact ...' (phone number).
I yhink the expenses from making such T-shirts exceeds the expenses for new sokck. But maybe a paper wanted-bill over the washing mashine ;)
SletThat's the big question, why do the mates almost never turn up? Ah, some mysteries in life will just never get solved, i guess.
SvarSletI agree. Some say that socks are the larvae of something else. I start to believe.
SletI don't understand lost socks. I wear two, I wash two and I put two back in the drawer. I never lose any.
SvarSletMom, dad & 6 kids = a zillion socks. Some get lost. I bought a lot of socks looking the same, and I always end up with an uneven number of these. Never does two socks disappear, always only one.
SletMaybe the other socks ran off together. I've never lost any socks but I've always managed to get holes in them.
SvarSletHave a lovely day.
I can do both! I even have holey, unmatching socks.
