Oh no, it’s time for the panic rooms. I’m doing poetry. How can I Tweet you this bad.
It’s that time of week for Chelsea Owens mused poetry challenge. This week the challenge is
These are the specifics for this week:
- At Ellen’s suggestion, the Theme is the wittiest message inside your next anniversary card. (And, coincidentally, happy anniversary to her and her husband!)
- The Length needs to be short and sweet and easy on the ink. Let’s keep it under 122.5 words.
- Rhymes are a popular and catchy way to sell greeting cards, but it’s not a requirement for this contest.
- The Rating can be PG-13 or cleaner (please avoid cussing).
- The years have been kind to your sweetheart …or, maybe not. Either way, make him/her laugh. They’ve put up with you this long, after all…
You have till 10:00 a.m. MST next Friday (October 9) to submit a poem.
As I am old fashioned and as it’s a great excuse for hiding my complete lack of poetry talent – I will stick to terrible poetry. See Terrible Poetry still lives….
If I get an anniversary card from my partner these days then it is the stuff of Ghost or the Twilight Zone. And a few years back if I received a 122 word message in my card it would either be a shopping list or divorce papers. Only joking. My partner would always write the sweetest messages. My messages would normally start with either ‘sorry it’s late’ or ‘I thought we had an anniversary last year…’.
So sorry this card is late
So sorry I’m a bit overweight
I thought we had an anniversary last year
Do we really get them every year, my dear
Just 122 words is perfect for a food shopping list
Or divorce papers which I have chosen to miss
I’ve really got no idea why you put up with me
Especially as I’ve just spilled coffee over your settee
😂 Okay, I liked that one…. 😂

I see everything… 😀 She has an eagle eye, and one day she will soar. Then she’ll have a bird eye view. I guess that means she’ll see even more. 😀

Hmmm… still don’t think that’s possible. Not the creative part… the sneaking it past me part.

I writ one and put it on that Chelsea Owen link, it went:
Always on the cards.
Last second writing “All my love” so cursory,
Time and again made us forget each anniversary,
For us, protecting trees was always on the cards,
So what better than a trip to a nearby plant nursery.

I’m sure she would have appreciated the sentiment. (Aside- I think I might own the only Victorian settee in the US outside of historically correct houses)
