Okay! Yes it started out as a miss-print, but I liked it so much I've kept it. It goes well with the made-up place names I use in my stories. The nice thing about virtual life is it can be whatever I want it to be.

Is it a mask to hide, or reveal the real me?

Due to being overcome by a bad case of PC, I have been reduced to wishing everyone a very merry Brussels Sproutmass, and a new year to savour forever. Now where is my E mistletoe. Pucker up girls...

Wonderful poem by IanMGSmith in the Christmas/New year challenge. Really enjoyed it...

(And all the rest). hm,hmm.

Twas a few nights past Christmas,
and the poems were flowing.
Some were scurrilous,
In some it was snowing.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hey thanks Martin, most encouraging and v.much appreciated from a skilled wordsmith such as yourself.

Particularily love your imagery in streetlights and shadows and must agree with Bazz, some pretty awesome entries there.

Unfortunately don't get on here enough due to working pretty long hours and even this holiday there's been major D.I.Y. Oh well.

Take care, Ian

I hope it's fine that my submission to the "god(s)" contest is an image -- I tried a few times, but there was no way that that formatting was going to hold on our message boards.

Awesome entries so far, this is going to be a good one.

I don't see a problem with it j.w., I'm not usually a fan of a shaped poem, but liked this one.

Cats are such superior creatures, at least in their own minds.

I'm not usually a fan of them either -- too gimmicky in general. However, it really just felt right to me this time. Thanks!

*wince* Don't laff at mine, I just wanted to give it a go, keep my hand in so to speak. I don't really know how to poem!

Anyway I enjoyed writing it so I've already won.... *hurk*

It mite not be the best but it is my first attempt!!!

The new challenge has just gone up and there's already a submission. That's always good to see.

**DouglasMB** · 04-23-2012, 10:12 PM

I wrote mine in all of 5 min I did not have time to really edit it much or do much with it... but i wanted to at least give it a shot to be more a part of the community here.

Just submitted an entry to the Challenge, my first poem in years. I have an intense desire to delete it. But now that I've written this I know I can't. And I won't! I think...
