Oh my. I've just read these again (without the children charging around in the background)
They are so full of wonder and sadness and such feeling. I particularly loved numbers 2 and 7 (haha), 9 (cried), 12 was lovely, 14 was brilliant, 15 (really cried), 17 (made late new year resolutions), 18 (want receipe), 20 (sad and confusing - it doesn't take much) and 21 confusing and enlightening all at once) I see why you would have to use a hat now. How on earch would you chose? I really enjoyed reading them though (and if I'm going to enter these things think I should try a lot harder!) ********* I tell you, we are here on Earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you different.

I won something! it's a miracle! this puts all the mods on the fast track for sainthood! I never win anything! it isn't possible to abuse the exclamation point enough to convey the screeching and squealing and jumping about that happened when I found out that I actually managed to win something! in fact: !!!!!!!!!!!

How so? And mucho congrats to all the winners, and really, as sappy as it sounds, I think we're all winners for having pondered, put fingers to keys, entered and then read all the entries. That was some really fun and creative stuff, gang. We done good! And YAY again for 7 years! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I live for three things: The Girls, football, and live jazz. What do you live for?

Awww, I didn't win. (I'm kind of glad about that, though, because in my quest to make a sestina using words from the prize introductions, I totally lost track of our theme.)
Mine was #21. |

And that is how I intended it to be, actually. You should see the original, with all the fancy scripts... if I can figure out a way to convert it into jpg, I'll post it here. ****************************************************************** Superbly Sublime Splendiferous Sterling Shiftmaster of the Realm of Unproductivity and Procrastination ****************************************************************** You are a Player.

I guess it wasn't what I expected. I'm not quite sure what I expected, but not a letter, & not one that was so funny & so dead-pan & non-chalant & matter-of-fact at the same time. It made me laugh, & THAT I certainly didn't expect. __________________________ You are a Farrier. You enjoy nothing more than seeing a well-fitted hoof. Just because it's an animal doesn't mean it can't have a touch of style. Try this pump; here's a stilletto; my, did you see the calves on that pony? Size 6? Oh, madame, really! Still, there are so many hooves, and so little time, and you often miss out on the fun (and the better meme results.) __________________________ "Truth! Justice! Freedom! ...

Beautiful and very inspiring. Yay for the winners. No, wait, yay for everyone!
I am *very* late in posting but i *did* write one. And thought i might still share. Hope you guys don't mind. Here's what i wanted the dead to teach me. The dead could teach me how to more appreciate the living they'd holler to me that i sure do need to be more giving The friends who died, whose memory, for fear of my forgetting, I clung to way too viciously no peace for me, no letting my heart's tattoos that they once drew discolour in the sunshine, I clad myself in nightly hue and made my heart a death-shrine The dead could come and kick my ass and tell me: but we're dead! Your loved ones who are with you bless the life you have ahead. The people who are lost to me: I pray for your forgiveness. I have to pour more energy in people who are dead less. My heart bears your impressions still and will while it still beats; 'cause i'll remember you untill I join you, 'twixt death's sheets. ~You are a *Taverner*. Sometimes patrons want to go where everybody knows their names, though it helps when half of them are named John. When people want to celebrate, or commiserate, they gather to your establishment. You provide the atmosphere, the warmth, rum, and even an ear to bend. Did I mention the rum? Years before the language will be mangled with terms like facilitator and networking and interpersonal communication, you've overseen it all, and broken up a few bar fights, to boot.~ -Royko |

well, you can keep checking, but the lady who is sending them out is away at a wedding, so it may be a while yet.

And probably even longer than that. I've got $4 to my name right now, and that's not likely to change any time soon. Postage for prizes ain't cheap. And, great to see you posting again, Cappy Meriwether! It's always sad to see newbies disappear, so I'm glad to see you're back and contributing to the forums again! _____________________________________________________________ Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us.
