Wow! Congrats, my friends! What an awesome list!

I'm sorry I haven't read very many entries this quarter - I've been going through some stuff and in a weird place. I'm trying to keep up with the challenges, but just haven't been able. I miss the excitement and fellowship.

This is a teeny nitpick, but I kind of think I might capitalize the first letter of each line. I didn't mention it before--but that's the most common way to write rhymed poetry, even if (as your 4th line) it's right in the middle of a sentence. Thanks Jan - I was wondering about capitalization. Goo...

Since I've been working on a few Haiku's, I thought I'd go ahead and post them. Besides, what else am I going to do with them? (Do I get extra credit? :wink:) smokey autumn air red flames nibbling at darkness camp fires dot the night Glistening turquoise roils into foaming whitecaps, crests, curls, ...

I'm not fond of the last line, but I finally got the meter right (if you read "heav'n as one syllable :wink:) and it's grammatically correct (unlike this run-on sentence) so I'll leave it as is. :D Great weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth do not need to be a man’s fate; confessing the na...

Opalescent foam. Cradles broken bits of shells Seagulls riding the winds. Pat, this is so pretty! I'm wondering if you need the period at the end of the first line. And I won't mention that the last line has 6 syllables... But I can see and smell Florida when I read this...makes me want to fly down...

Yay! I'm very excited about Jan's Masters Class Part 2!! I can't wait to learn and practice poetry.

I remember writing Haiku in school long ago. I forgot how fun it was. Here's a quickie:

Congrats one and all! And thanks, judges. I'm honored to be listed with such gifted writers. I wasn't sure this one "worked".
