The responses to Leland’s Challenge were excellent and thanks to all who participated in writing and reading. In writing my own single-sentence speller, I learned some nuances of word usage. Perhaps those who responded were able to come away with something positive from their own experience with their totally voluntary effort. I indicated in several places that I would post a composite of all entries, which I do with this post. In the interest of compactness, I removed artwork from the entries. I corrected a couple of obviously misspelled words and have numbered each entry. I removed extra space lines and comments not directly pertaining to the write and apologize if I inadvertently changed formatting of your poem. For anyone interested, this composite can provide a reference for troublesome word usage.
Personal Note: My future challenges I make to myself only, as was my practice before this fun exercise.
As your bare wallet was more than doubled ever since payday; you chose as common senseto buy when onsale, then to sell what you buy to make capital gain rather than having to bear without the bare necessities or chooseto get by with only twocents to your own name because, by golly, then you're being much too frivolous with your finances and your capital concern is to avoid that in the end.
He found the daughter of the Principal hiding in the dorter of the fort, he had to rescue her on principle if he wished to court her but he must make sure they did not get caught, they were quite quiet but soldiers appeared and he fought them off as they made their way out into the desert, he knew he could not desert her now; they could see the sea so they made a dash for a boat, the wind was too strong towind the sail and there was a row among their oarsmen on how to row. He had a wound so she wound a strip of her red petticoat around it as he read a sonnet to her, then he felt there was no time like the present to present her with a present of a sweet posie of thyme, the whole root of this story is the route that they took to get her out of this hole.
The other day I passed by the fountain where I used to meet with you in the past. The last time we were there with our friends their attitude upset you, I know they're too critical, but I have an idea. Remember we were picking the roses that grew there, you said a rose losesits beauty as the petals die, it's sad to watch them become loose and fall one after another. I think we're fortunate to have a place where we can go and recall what we all thought were wonderful times. They are still our friends and we should get together for old times sake, and new beginnings. Like the roses we too are getting older.Maybe your charming words would affect their thinking, and have a good effect on our relationship, if we invite them to a reunion in the park by the old fountain.

The midnight HOUR of dreaming approaches a time when all THAT WAS minutely CONSCIOUS develops deeper in OUR CONSCIENCE THEN unfolds it's glories with a not so QUIET magnificence yet often we take not the time TO HEAR what heart, mind and soul via thoughts and dreams does BARE QUITE openly for us lost in the primordial essence of grizzly BEAR grunting and growling the HERE and now more important not realizing perhaps we WERE always so despondent with these thoughts and dreams we CHOSE to remember I TOO have such moments I shall admit still I know we are the PRINCIPAL managers of each PRINCIPLE thought and dream MINE are for ME to CHOOSE what to do with AS YOU must CHOOSE YOURS which seem the most important and what to do with them
