Diane of
On the Border is supplying us with topics for this weekly endeavour,
sometimes with the help of others - If you have any good ideas, just say so in her comments section. She and Mimi of
Messymimi's Meanderings also write 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, and helps out at topic
supplying.
Jenny at
Procrastinating Donkey
is taking a break due to her husband's recent 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.
Sometimes, when I sit down to write poetry, strange things happen. This time around a crossword puzzle happened.
Why my poor head is up to no poetry, I do not know. I am in a contrary mood for the time being, imagine me being at least mentally something like a 2 year old, or a teenager. Don't tell me what to do ... I'll do the opposite - just because!
I have no idea whether you think this is fun or not, but as no poem happened, I'll just publish this. The solution will follow tomorrow. There's no prizes except for bragging rights.
The prompts for the coming Mondays, it you'd like to join in:
Peanut Butter Day (March 1)
Be nasty Day (March 8)
Pi(e) Day (what else would it be?) (March 15)
World Poetry Day (March 22)
Something on a Stick Day (March 29)
I am impressed. Crosswords are beyond me. I can rarely solve them, let alone create them.
SvarSletCreating is actually easier than solving. You know the answers ;)
SletI love crosswords, Charlotte, and will give it a go. I sometimes have a dry spell when I can't get started on a poem - and I think I may struggle with a few of the forthcoming themes. Still, onwards and upwards (I hope).
SvarSletThank you! Yes let's hope.
SletWhat a fun puzzle, i have guessed a couple of answers, but i cannot wait for your solutions tomorrow.
SvarSletI'm curious. Which ones?
SletThis is amazing! I love crosswords!
SvarSletThe theme for March 8 has changed (I made a mistake, sorry!) March 8 is Be Nasty Day!
Be nasty day it is, then. Thank you!
