Oooooh *excited whisper* cookie cookie cookie… I love da cookie…

@bluejay

What they said @writefury. 🙂

And I love this— it’s a classic example of everything I cannot do. It’s simple but powerful, cute but touching, and above all lean and to the point. Excellent work!

@writefury I would change a couple little things, but not much. The best thing about this poem is that it really personalizes the boat. *adds boat as friend on Facebook* Oh, and also the rhyme (I love rhyme).

Here are the little tweaks I would make:

And wood deck a sheen

Sounds strange. Decks are not sheen, they have a sheen.

As darker clouds…

@Spradlin:

Ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies. *mysterious waggling of eyebrows*

AAAUGGH!!!!!!!!!! FLEE, FLEE FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!!

*shocked face* @spradlin how many thumbs do you have?!?!

*sniffle-sniffle* aw, thanks @gretald. *wipes eyes, blows nose* You guys are all so encouraging and supportive.

*takes deep breath, winks gently* So glad you liked it.

That. Is. Amazing. @writefury that’s perfect! Hey @spradlin, get over here and see this awesome logo we’ve created! 😀

@hope it’s been my motto for a while. 😉

@gretald I do like tea— really strong, dark tea, with just sweetener and no cream. 🙂

Oh, very good @bluejay. I only got about 250. It was a bit of a tricky part.

Yes @Adry_Grace, they do— it’s a quill pen stuck upright in a mug of coffee. Printed in large, blocky letters on the mug is the motto: ‘If you can’t be brilliant, odd will do.’

*ecstastic squeal* I’m so proud of myself! I designed the universal writer’s flag! Millions will rally to my standard! Chaaaaaaaaaarge!!!

@overcomer

Ahoy, Cap’n! Shiver me timbers, thar’s not a blathering speck o’ booty in sight! What’s a self-respectin’ pirate to do, Cap’n, I’m askin’ ye?!

Hey everybody. Doing my standard routine here (only a half hour late). You all should really get a standard routine. They’re great. So this if you want to join along.

For @bluejay specifically though, this means that now you officially have to write today.

Don’t even try it, guys. I’m hopeless. I don’t even like coffee mom-style— a little bit of coffee with my cream and sugar. 😛

@overcomer awwwww… all you guys’s overwhelmingly positive reaction has been so encouraging. Thanks so much. 😀

Yep, pretty much my first. I’ve done a comic ditty here and there, but nothing I would call ‘real poetry’. 🙂 Glad you liked it @jadamae!

@bluejay very sound advice. I shall maybe possibly not consider not doing it. *cue evil chuckle* 😉

…don’t tell me that you…don’t like…frappuccinos?

@Gretald I hate to tell you… but I don’t like frappuccinos. I don’t even like coffee. 😛

@hannah-olsen If you have trouble concentrating, you might want to check out the forum topic “writers corner”. It’s a little system we’ve created that helps us concentrate better.

Wow, you’ve traveled! Mission work, I assume? And yay! Your favorite authors are some of mine as well! Have you read Gaskell’s ‘North & South’?
And which if R. L. Stevenson’s stories do you like— I’ve read some that I’ve loved, and one in particular I absolutely could not stomach. 😛

Welcome to KP, and many— er— happy… returns? Somehow…[Read more]

Don’t get me started on coffee. Starbucks, especially. You just can’t beat their frappuccinos.

Uuuugh. *horrified shudder* 😛
