Throw a Brick for STAFF

[Deb Porter]

Hi Challengeers.

The final tally has been done, and we have our winners for the week. So, if you had an entry in for the STAFF Challenge, now is the time to point a few more readers your way (as well as read some other great entries). It's time to "throw a brick" straight to your entry (what a great way to get your week started).

All you have to do is reply to this post with a direct link to your entry. If you aren't sure how to do that, we have a guide to help you here:

How to Post a Link to Your Entry

If you join in the brick throwing fun, please make sure you read and review the other brick throwers' entries as well. (There's a lot of good reading in there.)

(As always, if you would like a sample rating sheet to use when reading entries, please see this discussion: viewtopic.php?f=22&t=33906 )

Have fun!

Love, Deb

Please dear kind someone, please read my poems -
not just to critique, but enjoy, sit and think.
I know I write often, and some are like tomes,
but I cannot stop them - my mind seeks to link

with someone who's been there, done that and so
can offer me feedback that's beyond mere praise.
My thoughts are just flying, my fingers too slow
to just tap on the keys for the rest of my days.

Outside the sun beckons, my dog wants to play.
My lazy form wants to just sit here and enter
what's sometimes just dribble - ofttimes I pray
that other activities would help me to center

on just washing dishes, e'en sweeping a floor -
chores that I willingly shirked way back then...
But I found this website, which cries to me more.
I no longer can focus 'cept with paper and pen.

I'll sit here for hours, inert and expecting
to find you before me - critiquing and reading
my heart baring entries. And find that instead
it's not only just me that must needs be fed.

This constant pulling- think a robin with worm!
And so, being patient, I slink off to dust
my books and my tables - then slowly I turn...
my computer needs dusting! And again I must

look once more through my listing and so hope to find
that you've had enough time to critique my grand works?
And much later I rise to finish dusting - my mind
pressing me upward and onward, ignoring what lurks

on the fringes - the calling - the desperate need
to return to my keyboard and search once again
to see if a kind soul my warped ego did feed.
But no one has read me and I sigh once again.

Eureka! A light dawns above this dim brain!
Why haven't you read all my wonderful poems?
If I critiqued yours, would we possibly gain
some free time to look into each other's domes?

This week has been fun to switch the POV for a story which you may recognise at some point along the way.....

YAWN.... Mine is such a tired old theme, so I'm not expecting it to break any pots - but it was fun to remember some good old days from my youth.

I refuse to throw a brick this week. I'm too busy throwing them at myself. With the one day I took to write this and the minute and half I had to submit it, my entry is an embarrassment and a "bloody" mess.

You'll just have to wait until Thursday.

This was a very challenging poem for me to write as it had so much to do with what I am currently going through, but as He is always so faithful to do the good Lord showed me more of Himself in the process! http://www.faithwriters.com/wc-article- ... p?id=44800

Out of my poetry genre this week, and do I ever wish I had reviewed before I made some changes and entered my story--one young moms can identify with. I appreciate any additional comments.

The Umbrella Staff

Greetings Fellow Challengers,
I decided on a more light hearted piece for Staff, and hope you won't find my odd humor too strange. Here is my brick, which I hurl, pitch, toss, fling, chuck, throw--maybe I should just roll it in there.

Hello Everyone,

Here is my contribution --
CHRIST'S COMFORT. (Intermediate Level) I seem to be having computer issues.
Please feel free to make as many comments as possible.

Hello,

I'm reposting my brick cause it kind of got unstuck. I think. (Fancy way to say I don't think I did it right.)
Hoping this brick flys better. Thanks for your patience and your comments in advance. http://www.faithwriters.com/wc-article- ... hp?id=4485.
