A tisket, a tasket, a yellow picnic basket...
Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.
My contributions to the picnic basket this week. :)
It was a fabulous challenge to try to formulate a reply in that format that conveyed enough info to actually answer the question. The many responses are very well done a beautifully written, with
This was the other thing that made me smile today.

The image you linked to is brilliant! I might have to print it out and share it at the Co-op -- that's right up our collective alley.

Not sure if I'd do it every week, but maybe every other Tuesday? That could work.

weekly roundup - call for contributions
Re: weekly roundup - call for contributions
Three poems here (including an etheree!), then a double etheree here (which deals with domestic violence, if you want to put a trigger warning on the link), and a butterfly cinquain here.
I have to say, this comm is doing WONDERS for my poetry production levels.
Re: weekly roundup - call for contributions
Should I mark any of them as entries for Challenge #3? (You're eligible to win that one this week; not eligible to win #4 since you won the reader's challenge last week, but you're free to do the latter too just for fun if you like.)

I dare you to do both challenges this week - I think you'd enjoy them, and I'd be especially fascinated to see what you'd do with #4.
And Now, For Something Completely Different: your icon is win!tastic.

We shall see - I'm kind of enjoying lurking and commenting randomly, and the moving is eating my time. Then again, I would like to make some space for myself and poetry. We shall see.
I love Picard. He is my hero. Also, Patrick Stewart. I saw him in the Scottish Play in real life, it was the best birthday ever.

As for the challenges, they might be quicker to do than you might think, but you know best what works for you time-wise et al. I'm enjoying your comments when you have the time to make them. :o)

I didn't participate a lot in the comm activities, but I hope I'll be able to write an Etheree for the weekly challenge :)
