And now for something completely different: 2KCBWDAY5 Experimental blogging day to try and push your creativity in blogging to the same level that you perhaps push your creativity in the items you create. There are no rules of a topic to blog about (though some suggestions are given below) but this post should look at a different way to present content on your blog.
There once was an old woman from Suffolk
Who decided to challenge the blog folk:
Submit me a rhyme
By the end of this time
This contest is no April Fool's joke !
Have a go at winning this contest
It's easier than knitting a lace vest:
Simply comment in verse
(For better or worse!)
Sit back and relax, read the rest !
2nd Annual April Fool's Contest: All you have to do is leave a comment in a form of (original) verse, eg.rhyming couplet, haiku, sonnet, iambic pentameter, epigram, etc to have a chance of winning a fabulous Mystery Prize selected by me !
Go on, have a go - it cannot be worse than mine !
Conditions:
Open to international entries
Closing date Fri.8th April, 2011
Winner will be chosen by random number generator.
Winner will be announced on the blog.
Please make sure I can contact you for your address.
I love how you rhyme your verse.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I would do much worse.
I've never been a poet.
I'm sure this post will show it.
Your creative juices are flowing.
I just can't keep it going.
Now on to read other blogs.
Before I get floged.
Just two more repeats
ReplyDeleteOne more, then I'll go to sleep
Is that the sunrise?
----
I'm a knitter, you know.
You can't blame me for looking.
That new scarf you love?
Asos might call it "handmade".
But I know a lot better.
What a fabulous post from you
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure what to do
Perhaps I might win
Now, that would make me sing
But OMG what a din!
I'll get put in the bin!
I must say thank you
and have a lovely day too!
No knitting for days
ReplyDeleteBeen in a blog reading haze!
If I were to win
Would it absolve my sin?
Will my needles feel sad
For my neglect so bad
Or will we joyfully reunite?
In knitting I love
ReplyDeleteSoftness of the alpaca
Tis too much, I cry
(yes I am useless at doing anything written like that :D )
Gosh said us
ReplyDeleteReady with a rhyme?
Enough of a challenge
All eager we typed
To the tune of Kismet's companion
Pah, said I
Only trash shall I find
Shame my words never work
Thanks for making me look a berk!
There once was a kitty called Viv
ReplyDeleteWhose claws were as sharp as a shiv
If you thought she was fluffy
You'd be wrong: she's a toughie
But if you play nice, she may let you live
There once were some yarns called acrylics
ReplyDeleteWho found they had very harsh critics
"They're no good for lace,
Malabrigo's ace!"
But acrylics make washable fabrics!
across the ocean
ReplyDeletea blogger reads witty posts,
smiles, and knits on
There once was a goddess called Venus
ReplyDeleteWho grabbed hold of Vulcan's hot.......maybe we should just draw a veil over that poetry attempt right NOW....
AX
Contest calls my name
ReplyDeleteThough I win just by reading
Post in a good rhyme
I stopped by earlier, had NO inspiration so I'm back. This verse stinks but hey...I'm no poet.
ReplyDeleteThere once was a knitter named Trix
Whose husband did not like her sticks
She dumped him and then
Went to knitting again
Now Trix is really getting her kicks!
She was a crafty gal from old Ravel-ry way
ReplyDeleteShe had a boogie beading style that no one else could play
She was a top gal at her craft
And then her number came up - she was bedazzled by glass
She's crafting shawls now, and edging constantly
She's the boogie-woogie beading gal of CST*
* = Crochet Small Talkers group on Rav; and it's to the tune of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy of Company B"
Blogs are awesome, blogs are cool,
ReplyDeleteEspecially on April Fool.
But I'm reading so many blogs all day,
I'll never get to my crochet!
Great contest!
A pair of haikus about grief and possible redemption:
ReplyDeleteOur dogs are cousins
They are fluffy, heavy coats
No need for hand knits.
But wait, is it spring?
Blowing coat creates fiber
Dog fur as yarn...gross?
Knitting time today
ReplyDeleteKnit one, Purl Two, Yarn Over
Time for nothing else
:) Great contest!
Hark!
ReplyDeleteWhats that shimmering in the night?
Silvery glows of soft moon light?
Should the moon be quite so bright?
Rats!
I've been knitting all darn night!
just had to say, i really like tishka's! that is all (for now).
ReplyDeleteGive me a prize
ReplyDeleteThat would be wise :)
Mary had a little lamb
ReplyDeleteIt's fleece as white as snow.
She sheared it and clipped it,
Carded and flicked it,
Then spun it all up like a pro.
Love to knit daily
ReplyDeleteSometimes forget that I blog
Trying to do both
I love how you rhyme on your blog.
ReplyDeleteBut my creativity is in a fog.
I hope I win the mystery prize,
I'll love it, no matter the size!
So pretty please pick Cindy
She's the one from Indy!
