But because it's Poetry Monday Diane - who has taken over the hosting of this challenge - and Mimi of Messymimi's Meanderings - who supplies us with many of the topics - are also writing wonderful, funny, thought-provoking, ingenious and honestly well written verse. Go and read them!
Karen of Baking in a Tornado has joined us in this crazy pursuit, and promises us at least a poem a month!
SpikesBestMate often publishes a nice verse in the comments.
Jenny at Procrastinating Donkey who has been a faithful participant, is slowly returning to blogging after her husband's passing from this world. Let's continue to send warm thoughts, good energy, and lots of prayers her way, now her mum needs a serious prayer too. But still we dare hope that she will join Poetry Monday again.

Next Mondays topic is the less controversial Happy Birthday Song. I hope to join then.
I wonder how many of the world's people are refugees now. There have been so many small wars since the big one. It's just never ending :(

SvarSletSadly it's happening all over it seems.
