Writing Challenge 2007-12 - Sunday July 29, 2007

MiLords and MiLadies

It is time once again for a new challenge!

I thought we'd try something a little different this time, Poetry!

Yes, we are going to see some poetry this time around.  Any subject you feel like.  You can write one yourself, or share a poem that you already love.  I do encourage you to try to write your own though.

You have till the end of this month.  Let me know that you have posted so that I can link to you.  Remember to use the **Star** system and to comment!

Any time you are ready. . . .

A study in poetry

Kween

Poetry?............I'll try, but no promises. 

What is the star system about?  I hate to admit my ignorance but it is one of those things that I don't really understand.

But this one is non-descript enough!  I love it!

Thanks!

Posted 7/23/2007 at 5:52 PM by FourthChance

Yup, i wrote a poem.  and Yup, I applied to sign up for the blogring.

Posted 7/22/2007 at 10:54 PM by TumbleweedEh
Whee...I posted a poem, and then found out you were doing this topic.  Cool!  I notice that many featured grown-ups are here.
Posted 7/18/2007 at 6:53 PM by TumbleweedEh
i would like to join... do you just start participating or is there something a person has to do to "become" part of the group?
Posted 7/21/2007 at 6:17 PM by Carate
Can you try again? I didn't realize I was over my quota. I will be working on my post tonight for this assignment! thank you!

Now that I have submitted my entry ... now that I have endeavored to put pen to paper (virtually) ... Now I will visit the other patrons of the poetic art.

Leave my comments I will. This can I do as, strong with me, is the Force. **sorry, Yoda moment!**

Hi!

I came across your website and couldnt resist sharing a poem!! I will also see if I can figure out how to apply to join the ring.

I am not exactly sure how this blogring works, and how you want posts for the ring posted, but mine is here.

Writing Challenge 2007-11 - Wednesday July 18, 2007

MiLord & MiLadies:

Welcome to our 11th writing challenge of the year!  Prior to posting this, I had a couple of ideas running through my head. . .I considered something on the patriotic side as our holiday is coming up, but decided to forgo that idea (we have several subjects in our queendom who reside in other countries).  However, I've come up with a bit of what I think is a creative challenge for you this time! 

Have you ever given any thought as to what your front door might be thinking if, indeed, it was able to think?  What observations or thoughts might "run through it's head"?

Here's the challenge. . .choose any inanimate object. . . such as your front door, your floor, your closet, your toothbrush!  Anything you want, and no, it doesn't have to be connected with your house. . .any object you want!  Give it a personality or thought process. . .then tell us what's going on in it's head!

This gives you tons of use for your imaginations!  Make it funny, serious, whatever you want!  No holds barred!  This challenge is called:

IMAGINARY THOUGHTS

Remember, you have until the 15th of this month (2 weeks).  Make sure you link to either the blog ring or this site.   Visit and STAR as many sites as possible. . .come back to check on new entries. . . .Out of all the entries for our last challenge, I received comments from only half of those who took the challenge!  I know we are busy these days (and I am the most guilty of staying away from my KoffeeKween site), but try you best to get to each and every entry and start using the STAR SYSTEM!

Have fun with this challenge my friends!

You can start anytime. . .now is good!

~Kween

Oh, this is a true challenge.... I must put on my thinking cap. It'll probably be a week or so. I tried to visit everyone who posted last time but I think I missed maybe 2 or 3 royals.

I read about this challenge on  The_Queen_Bea, and loved the idea.  I wrote my own piece about my front door, and wondered if you would add it to the list?  Here's the link:

RYC:  I would consider it if I do not have to participate everytime and if I do not have to place a banner on my site.  I'm a wee bit of an individual.  I enjoy your banners where I see them.  I just enjoy changing my banner box a lot...LOL  I'm glad you enjoyed my chair humor.  I did remember to give credit to your blogring and site in my intro.

HUGS!!!

Thank you for accepting me! Despite the fact that my own grammar often leaves something to be desired, I am more than able to pick apart that of others. As to my love for Starbucks, I was born and raised in Seattle, and I come from a line of coffee brewers. It's in my blood, and I simply embrace it. :o)
