She said, “Let’s Make a Time to Rhyme Every Month.” And We Did Just That.
Rhyming on the eighth of every month is what we decided and please join us with our rhyming chat.
This morning when waking up much too early, I had this thought. Wouldn’t it be great if all the new writers were to join us in rhyming one day a month? And then get your Facebook pals to do the same! So much fun!
When I got home from training on the eighth of May, I had some rhyming to do and this is what I did say. I just want to say, “Sorry” to all of my friends in my writing group who wrote earlier today. Then I quickly posted this rhyme from last year on the eighth for that day!
ON THE EIGHTH OF MAY, 2023
It is the eighth today
This is the day
For rhyming all you post
Please join in or be toast
Just one day a month until
February when we have still
a full month of poetry and rhyme
Just this day and time
It is fun
And there is no sun
Come on Hon
Rhyme along with a few of us
No need to cuss
Or make a big fuss
Short and simple too
Thank you
Love you Boo!
And still later from May 8th of 2024:
I can get busy
And I can be dizzy
When working a long day
or two or three in May
So please forgive the slip
it isn’t usually just a blip
on my radar, no I love rhyme
most of the time, but this time
it was a slip and I will do better as I’m
setting my alarm to notify me
when the eighth arrives you see!
Technology is easy for some
At 70, I can feel so dumb
it is right there for me to use always!
~
I know that so now I will! And anyways
it is time for me to sharpen my rhyming
skills today as I missed so much chiming
in on the eighth with you all
together we can have a ball
we can all benefit from you doll
Carol, Jen, JoAnn, Cathy, and more
Like buying Jen’s poetry book from the store
It is so great to have a real poet in our group
then there is me who can throw a rhyme like soup
that rhymes with group to keep it going
JoAnn and Carol are good at that and doing
nonsense that really does make sense
I will end with how I can join in and enjoy the nonsense!
Please join in as it is truly fun in the sun
or with no sun, time to end this thing and run!

A telegram to Little Me
I acquired a magical souvenir; it was a realisation. By taking an impulsive trip to Thailand, I awarded myself the chance to have it. You are our own gift shop. You choose the opening times, you choose the stock. They are the very nature of wisdom, realisations. One could say we collect them and form a magnificent portfolio entitled Experience. And that's why we do the majority of things we do. But travelling is the act most generous in the offering of experience, the gift shop with the best stock. We go on the hunt for experiences, daring ourselves to be stimulated in new ways, by new flavours. To sweat, swim or shiver in the waters of new challenges. To hear new sounds, learn novel outlooks, and relish as hinges creak with unknown doors opening in our hearts and minds. This realisation and the flourishing effect it had upon me made Thailand my best trip yet. All this realisation consisted of was merely a stripped back epiphany of why we do these things. See new places, take new risks, seek refreshing distractions from all that we're tired of being familiar with.

Rhyming in poetry writing is hard for me to do. This one is great.
You make rhyming seem so easy. I struggle so much with it hahaha
What a fun idea! Some of this reads like words bouncing around our dining room table… ‘I can get busy And I can be dizzy’.
