Hi Jan - I'm in early this week - and rushed a little as I'm going on holiday tomorrow. Hope it's ok. The meter is 7,7,7,7,8,8,8and 8 (I think) hope that sort of meter is permissible. Dressed in raggy winter togs; Useless fire with no logs; Needful searching for a warm; Got past caring of the harm. ...

Oh dear Jan - have I made my wee limerick, a wee crude, and a wee too much of a stinker to go near?

It's only about a wee wee after all.

I love faithwriters and the human touch about it. I hope it never loses that feel - the feel of the Christian family - concerned when one of the leaders is down.

Deb, hope you get better soon and that head clears up.

Hi Jan - bit late here, hey?

There once was a man from Dundee
Who saved a pint of his wee.
His intentions were good
To wee-ter his spuds,
But they died of a stinking disease.

Another try - I may get it right eventually.

Leaves' arms reach skyward,
Tugging to be free from earth,
Yet anchored by strength.

Here goes Jan - my attempted.

Icy chrystals surrender.
Thawed, by natures source of light.
A mutual connection.

Glad you are back with your class.(This is not part of the un-rhymed poem).

Hi Jan Here's a few of my challenge titles:- 1. 'Rhino versus Rhino' - A story about a married couple who had rhino tendancies, to blindly charge at each other with unbridled temper. 2. 'Mary the Modern Magus' - Piece about a young lady wanting to offer Jesus a special gift. 3. 'The Lonely Lady' - M...

Hi Jan I used this challenge story of birds to depict human behaviour. Being a bird lover I see similarities quite a lot. And Jesus said, "Consider the birds.." Because he knew we had things we could learn from their example. http://www.faithwriters.com/wc-article-level3-previous.php?id=21...

Hi Jan - just another try. "The Book" was mostly written by people from the the tribe of the "Six Pointed Star". Now it is read by the "Fish" people who follow a "Cross" and honour this "Rose of Sharon". In honouring the "Rose" they drink &...

Hi Jan

Just stumbled over your retirement statement - forget about my last post. Have a blest rest.

Hi Jan, Turning up again like a bad penny! Been struggling with mild writers' block and challenge fatigue plus an excessive amount of holidays booked for this year. Could you use an obscure symbol to get the reader thinking, then through the piece more revealing symbols to make sure the reader has g...

Thanks for taking a look at this Jan.

Hi Jan I used suspense in one of my pieces to show how a young man, who had stumbled over a personal message from the Bible code, was instructed to set off into the unknown to rescue a fallen damsel - I think it worked. Jan are you sure it maybe a boy or a girl - it could be boys or girls, or, boy a...

Hello there Jan

The link is to a story about a day in Billy's life. It's to do with something he looks forward to each year - baking a Christmas cake with his Gran.

Hi Jan Just attemping another try at it. Avoiding the Saviour, I'd dithered all day. I'd shillied and shallied and fallen from grace; The guilt of it all had left me fast bound, But I broke free at last with his aid. Can't get my head around trying to rhyme something that doesn't. I'd much rather pu...
