Oh, @kate-flournoy , your “Dawn” poem is really, really good too. The only reason I scrutinized it so much is because you had awesome conflicting edits. I want to write poetry like you do. 🙂

You’re welcome, @kate-flournoy 🙂 Thanks for sharing this! Seeing your poem change and grow better through your editing process has inspired me. Maybe some of my earlier poems could do with a facelift. 😉

Wow, @kate-flournoy !
The first version you showed us of this poem was a little confusing, but I could see the potential. However, each version you’ve posted since is even better than the last!
In this last one, at first read, I didn’t notice anything that stuck out to me, but If you’d like me to probe it if further and see if I can’t come up…[Read more]

🙁 Poor @bluejay ! (a moment of silence too for that ruined mud pie;)
I can’t decide if snakes are just devious, or if they’re simply in the wrong places at the wrong times . . .

It’s okay, @bluejay . I whacked the evil snake with a stick, who slithered off, and the chick was just fine . . . a little terrified, but fine. 🙂
You’re kidding! My sister had a copperhead snake lunge and snap at her heel when she was on her bike once. Scared her to death. Probably has something to do with her hatred of them . . .

My sister hates snakes, but I just don’t like them hiding in my hay shed . . . or getting caught in the runners of the sliding barn doors and dangling over my head . . . or curled up right where I’m about to sit down in the grass . . . or trying to squeeze my baby chicks to death.
Of course, these things each only happened once, you understand,…[Read more]

Golly, @aella , if everyone wants to read my story, I may have to finish it this time! 😉 (Sure, but I’m not sure how soon it’ll be) I will warn you, though, my number of completed stories is pretty small, so it may not be very good. That’s why I’m writing really, for practice. You’ll be welcome to criticize it as much as you…[Read more]

Yaaaayyy! I’ve sent my poem to Kingdom Pen! Whew!
Now I’m working on that short story for you @spradlin . I didn’t end up entering it in the contest because I was too busy with other writing projects to work on it, but I’m still planning to finish it. 🙂
