Did you know why pirates never take a shower before they walk the plank?

Nixie Martell cheerleader - I think they're called rainshowers. *Wink*
Nixie Martell cheerleader - Sure they did! They stood at the railing on the deck and waited for waves to wash over them. *Bigsmile*

Funny! What popped up immediately in my mind was "to save water." but getting washed up on shore is a funnier answer.

The above notice fulfills a GoT task 74. Create a marketing ad for Game of Thrones (WDC version) and post it on your Newsfeed.
A "Game of Thrones"  challenge: Tedious Citadel task 82. Write two Structured Poems of your choosing. Both poems must be of the same structure. Show your poems on the newsfeed, and explain about this type of poetry. Points: 2000

There once was a big Irish lassie,
Who's built like a large lorry chassis,
   She said to a friend,
   I have a big end,
And that makes my sashay quite sassy.

Liam read in the paper he died,
His friends saw it too and they sighed
   He's always been one,
   To fool us and stun,
But this has us all quite tongue-tied.


The Limerick: A poem consisting of five lines in a single stanza with a rhyme scheme of a-a-b-b-a. Most limericks are intended to be humorous, and many are considered suggestive or downright indecent. Some would say because of their simple structure, the Limerick is considered amateur poetry. I say writing a good Limerick is not easy.

Let's see some of yours.
A "Game of Thrones"  task for your information, edification and overall amusement:

Tedious Citadel task 22. Write a poem using the emoticons and showcase it on your Newsfeed. Points: 2,000

*Bottle* *Babyboy* + *Babygirl*
*Bookopen* *Ankh* *Owl* *BurstG*
[*Dollar**Right*] the *Temp* + *Ha* of *People*



Young boys and girls
Learn life's wisdom abounds,
By the suffering and happiness of others.

JACE - House Targaryen - This was a great activity. I'd be happy if you ran it again. *Smile*
Thought I'd move this a bit higher on the Newsfeed. The feed moves faster that printed newspapers headed toward being bundled for delivery.

Consider entering. You have reviews to do anyway. Right?

It does move fast. We need a ‘back to the top’ for when we’re deep into the newsfeed and want to start over.

I've been a member of Writing.Com for more than 15 years now. I joined to be a writer--to improve that craft. Part of that journey led me to reviewing. And thus, I became a reader. There are literally thousands of thoughtful, funny, poignant, instructive, and just plain enjoyable stories and poems on this site.

Here's a very small list of recent items I've read (and reviewed). I encourage you to check them out.

         "Password Emergency!"  13+: Passwords are taking over the world.

         "The Lost Memories of Mrs. Mathalda"  E: An old witch attempts to save her memories before they leave.

         "Why I Love WdC"  E: WdC Is My Classroom and My Playground

         "For all my golfer friends.."  13+: My girl told me it was about time that I learned to play golf.

         "A Lonely Life"  13+: A visit to my father teaches me the most important lesson of all

         "Writing Free Verse"  E: Writing free verse is more than just writing thoughts

If you're only here to write, you're missing out. Oh, and reading and reviewing WILL help improve your writing.



I'm still collating the results of my survey: "The Newsfeed Survey" . Have been pretty busy with Game of Thrones.

The survey was viewed by 73 members of which 24 responded. Results to come.

Me ...Too! But the good one, all was consenting, I swear...
Thanks for the reminder. I intended to do the survey the first time I saw it on newsfeed, but I got distracted (I know, that is hard to believe) and didn't get to it.
Thanks to my attempt to get One Step Closer to the White Queen, I’m now a fan who just took your survey *BigSmile* *Crown1*

Only a week left to submit your entry for the March prompt.



While this topic covers a lot of ground, I'm just looking for something short and sweet -- any article on one aspect of Item Types. And you can enter something previously written and awarded. How easy is that!
I've received a number of responses, and some great comments with them, regarding my Newsfeed survey so far. I'll leave it up for the week, and will post the results then.
