6KCBWDAY5: Something Almost Different

Joie de Vivre Tarot

Alll-most there - day 5 out of 7, and today's 6th Annual Knitting & Crochet Week prompt is:

 
Day Five (Friday 15th May): Something A Bit Different
It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post, a beautiful infographic or write in verse. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation. There’s not too much guidance for this one simply because the more varied the posts are on this day, the wider the sources of information for other bloggers will be.




          There was an old woman from Ipswich
         Who spent some time learning to slip stitch;
         Once she had learned how
         She said, 'Look at me now -
         Crocheting without even one glitch !'
                                                                   copyright Vivianne Kacal 2015



I know.

I am sorry.

I am so sorry.

 I am very sorry. 

I am so very sorry.

I am so very, very sorry.

I am ... you get the idea.

Really, I am so apologetic I might even be English. But after the haikus and cinquains of recent years, this poor limerick is all I could come up with.

As a reward - or maybe it is punishment - I shall again offer you the opportunity to also inflict mental and emotional abuse on my readers (as I did here) by submitting your very own verse: it can be any accepted form of verse, for example, iambic pentameter, epigram, haiku, sonnet, etc. ... The winner will receive a marvellous mystery prize from me.

Conditions of Entry:

 Open to international entries
Closing date Fri.22nd May
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.



There will be many interesting offerings today - find them by putting 6KCBWDAY5 into Google.

 Something A Bit Different



It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different to how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post or write in verse. You've already stretched your wings with an infographic, now it's time to freestyle. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation. There's not too much guidance for this one simply because the more varied the posts are on this day, the wider the sources of information for other bloggers will be. Bonus points if you manage to work your house animal in somehow.

 

I expect there is far more to be seen on other blogs today - just pop 4KCBWDAY5 into the search engine of your choice (somebody told me there was more than Google, but I didn't believe them).

Something a Bit Different

It's back, and this time it has the most amazing of prizes (look for the prize for 'most creative post'). This was a massive success last year, and for many it was the highlight of the Blog Week, so this year you are challenged, again, to find a new way of blogging.

This is an 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, but this post should look at a different way to present content on your blog. 

The grand prize for Knitting and Crochet Blog Week, as donated by JenACKnitwear and Fyberspates will be given to the most creative blog post after a nomination and voting round, and due to the immensity of the prize it really is worth putting a bit of time and effort into this. At the very least you will get an amazing post out of it.  

  

Well, I didn't quite know what to do, as inspiration has been sadly lacking. So I thought I would inflict some poetry on you - but not just my own;  oh no, I am far more wicked and evil devious  generous and encouraging than that. I shall also inflict other people's poetry on you. I might even make you inflict torture gift us with the blessing of your own carefully wrought rhyming stanzas, if you are not very, very careful. 

But hey ! There is a plus side. There will be a prize, so make sure I have a way of contacting you ... entries must be in by Friday 4th May, 2012.

Do please feel free to nominate this post here.

So without further ado, the apparently hardcore poet that is me proudly presents my very own cinquain:


                                                              Competition

                                                          Knitting, poetry

                                                  Ponder, verse, comment

                                                  Creative brain wins yarn
