A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes. I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

"Invalid Item" [] by A Guest Visitor Mini-review: Definitely poetic. As a ballad it flows well. The rhythm and xaxa, xbxb... pattern is consistent. The second and fourth lines tend to be shorter than first and third lines as in ballad form. I could quibble about forgetting about secrets! I think the opposite happens as well. But that won't stop me from giving it a 4.8. It is what it is and that's pretty darn good. Prompt: Write about secrets. Secrets can bore a hole right through you. My family kept secrets that kept me in the dark. Clueless I didn't understand for years how utterly human my family was. The elders knew... but were in denial. Even now I keep secrets. I sure don't let anyone in town know. Or on fabecook, especially there! I keep my secrets close here at WdC as well. I open up about a lot of things but the traumas are real tricky and the secrets icky. You just don't need to know. My response to "Invalid Item" re holiday scents: I'll be ornery... which holiday? [and whose] If you mean winter: pine, although I really like frankincense, (non-holiday: fresh snow). If you mean spring: hyacinth and rose, (non-holday: petrichor, fresh mown grass). If you mean summer: I detest the smell of firecrackers, (non-holiday: rose). If you mean autumn: baking ... like pumpkin/squash/sweet-potato pie. Yeah... pie for the win! (non-holiday: wood smoke). One of the strongest scents of my holidays is rose. And the non-predictable smells of potluck. 3.398 |
