I want to thank each of the authors who took my challenge. It was not an easy one and each of you did a stellar job. You have all gained my most sincere admiration for being able to use the words so effectivly. I salute you:
Ed Kostro, Eileen Tiger Lily, Dawn Richerson, Lori Moore and Katy Walsvik.
You all took the challenge and you each proved that you have incredible imagination, creativity and strength, as writers.
This was not the type of exercise where you could simply sit down and let it come to you, you each had to stretch to make it happen.
Congratulations to each of you and thank you again for taking my challenge. GREAT JOB!!
This will remain an open challenge, if anyone else should wish to give it a try. You can find the list of words on my site under poetry listed as "A Challenge." Sherry
Sherry thank you for the challenge! Your poem was right up there with the best. Glad we didn't have to judge them;-) You made it very intersting!Thanks!
it was great fun... here's a confession: i often don't read directions well, and your challenge was no exception as i thought we had to use ALL the words, not just five... :) the laugh is on me.
Is there an echo in here, Sherry? hehe... for I am thinking and saying the same as Eddie K here. You gave us something really fun and interesting to wrap our thoughts and our writing skills around... I enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks. katy xox.
Five years have passed. The sequel to the award-winning Chapel of Eternal Love, this book revisits the same couples in the first book, and where the lives have taken them since they left the altar at The Chapel of Eternal Love
'Better Without You'is a compelling narrative that explores the complexities of an affair, hidden secrets, and abuse. It also highlights a daughter's heartfelt journey as she cares for her mother who is battling dementia.
i couldn't come up with anything that i liked, but enjoyed all of the responses--thank you for issuing a challenge that even i couldn't master :)
(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :)
Love Tinka
And I think your own Ode to Ol'Meatball was one of the best ones entered.
