Here’s Hannah’s post:

And now I present you: Potato Squash Pudding. (I also present you my shame and the disgrace of all my authoress dignity. 😬😂)

@catwing @rochellaine

Potatoes and Squash, a farmer’s delight
A field he grew and harvested in plenty
And without a clue to his plight!
Alas, a poor farmer’s wife, what is she to do with all this…

Can someone please tag me with a topic, too?  I haven’t been tagged yet.  Just because I started the topic with a sample poem that doesn’t mean I don’t want to be tagged…

😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀

@salome01w4g I read your poem in my email and it’s great!  Hilarious story!

But…it’s not showing up here anymore. 🙁  Do you need me to copy it from my email and post it for you, or do you have it saved somewhere else?  (I’m pretty sure you have it saved somewhere else, since this is an actual piece of writing rather than a quickly-typed po…[Read more]

@daeus Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner.  I am usually only around here in the morning and evening…so anyway…

This version is much smoother.  In answer to your comments:

Stanza two; “Most comely he smiled” is better, because otherwise we try to drag “and” out into two beats.  The reason for this is probably that almost all – if not al…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien Oh, I love that!  The faces and captions are all perfect.

@daeus I really like it!  I’ve never written any poem nearly this long. 🙂  I’m putting it in a separate google document myself where I will comment on it, because when I opened yours I got mixed all up in Elizabeth’s comments so that it was hard to go over just for myself. 😀

Since it’s a really long poem it might take me a while to get t…[Read more]

@waterlily Glad you liked it!

@dekreel My first thought was that it could be a nickname for Pearl or Margaret (which means pearl). Some others I found were Perenelle, Peridot, Persis, Pearline, and Perecia.

There’s actually a thread I found somewhere on a baby-naming site which I’ll link to in case you want to wade through it for more ideas. I…[Read more]

@livgiordano I really like what you said about a different culture really meaning a different culture.  My dad was born and raised a Muslim, and his family are all still Muslims, (he’s the only Christian in his family,) and their culture is Middle Eastern, though they live here in the US.  But my mom was raised a Christian American, and her fa…[Read more]

@waterlily Your description of the horse made me think of the word “majesty” because he’s big, but refined. So I looked up words in several languages that meant “majesty,” and here’s what I came up with. 😀 See if you like any of them:

Moheem
Nui
Majiraan
Paduka

@alia I’m so sorry! 🙁

@alia When I lose my posts I usually click the “back” arrow for the previous screen and sometimes can find them.  Have you tried that?

@mnvalentine I have two favorite types of covers, and they’re for two different types of books.

For realistic contemporary or historical fiction, I like a cover that’s simple, has one picture that doesn’t have a lot of mystery, but just is a plain eye-catching photograph or artwork, and then the title of the book in large print across the top. …[Read more]

Yessss!  It’s finally here.  😀

Wow.  My post still won’t show up.  I’ll try one more time and leave out the tags so people won’t keep getting emails…

Sarah; As several of us have stated above, we do agree that the absolute horror and anger fiction MKs express at the fact that they are MKs is semi-unrealistic and extremely annoying to read about in fiction.  However, yo…[Read more]

Oh, and @catwing I like your poem.  It’s really funny. 🙂

@catwing Potato-squash pudding?

BEST. PROMPT. EVER.

@salome01w4g I can’t wait to read it! 😀 😀

@catwing I’m a semi-MK, if that’s possible. (I insist that it is. 😀 )  I say that because my family has a ministry that causes us to travel across the country a lot, and during the spring we’ve sometimes been in a different state every week.  You know a little bit about us, since we’ve met. 🙂

So anyway, one of the things that annoys me the m…[Read more]

@gh24682468999 I actually think some of the beauty of the poem is that it’s not clear and definitive, but rather sweet and floating, like this kind of poetry should be.  I am afraid that putting a defining line into it might ruin it.  Maybe you could just give it a title that explains what’s going on?  Then you could keep the poem mostly the wa…[Read more]
