Wonderful bloggie friends!

I can't wait for December, can you? It means, Christmas, holidays, pressies and fun work parties (LOL!) and more presents!! How exciting! I'm excited, I hope you all are too. And if you celebrate something else not Christmas then I hope you all have a fabulous celebration too! And please may I join? Yay!

See y'all in December!

p.s lovely Madeleine is having a Cool as a Cucumber Turn a Cliche into Something wonderful blogfest! Now I normally run away from blogfests but this sounds like "something up my street"! LOL! Details here:



Jingle bells all the way!

I'm a published poet! LOL!

Bloggie friends!

I’m so tickled pink!

One of my haiku poems got accepted for publication with New Sun Rising: Stories for Japan – the charity anthology whose sale profits will go to the country’s earthquake relief efforts.

And I’m totally dumbfounded because the editors picked what I thought is the weakest - and yet the most personal - out of the five I sent.

So there you go! Sometimes wearing your heart on your sleeve, works!

Charlie says: There's something fishy going on!


Enjoy your day!

Little things pleasing little minds

Bloggie friends!

Here is one acronym that speaks to my inner juvenile immature heart and makes me giggle every time I see it proudly displayed in the shops:

BOGOF

Or Buy One Get One Free.

Ahem.

Charlie says: I am not amused.

Ok, back to my haiku-ing. Would you Adam and Eve it but my ones need editing?

They’re like less than 17 syllables each! Good grief!! I’m losing heart bloggie friends!

Nearly Friday!

An Ode to an Ode

Ok, I write bad freestyle haikus as well! LOL!

But did anyone know that 21 March was World Poetry Day?

And that the 3rd of March was World Maths Day?

Half way to the weekend!!

Twas a poem and yes you can!

Did y’all see the big new moon?
Twas on Saturday evening not at noon!
Twas very bright and very round!
Twas high up in the skies not making a sound!

Charlie says: I have booger in my eye.

Bloggie friends – thanks to lovely Summer Ross, Womagwriter and Eliza for publicising a great opportunity to donate stories, flash, poems, photos etc towards a new e-book “New Sun Rising" - all proceeds to go to a chosen charity to assist with the earthquake relief for Japan.

If y’all interested, here is the link and all the info about this project. Go on write story, take a pic, and/or compose a poem! You know you want to!

I am deep into composing some (hopefully not so terrible) haikus for submission. So I may be scarce this week cos these little nuggets of poetry are so damned hard to get right! No rhyming!! Aaaargh!
