| Today I went to the GPO (General Post Office) to collect three special cancelations - Civil Service Day, Earth Day and Panchayat Day. I think I managed to get the correct cards correctly stamped and correctly mailed, in all the confusion of there being three! Then I went to Divya's place. Met her new cat, Spice, for the first time. Spice let me pat her, and then hid in her toy tunnel and peeked out at me and we played peek-a-boo. Divya's earlier cat, Sugar, was having a nap. Spice is new and Sugar and Spice haven't yet started getting along. They are kept in different rooms and are being gradually introduced to each other. Divya has embarked on a stray-animal project to get vets to come and examine the stray dogs / cats / other strays around on a regular basis. Please pray that this project takes off and does well! |
| I've been on WDC for 18 years now. I remember the day I joined. I remember receiving my first review. The first review raid. Contests, activities, fun, friendship and lots of support. So many, many lovely memories. This site is a community, an online home, a family ... Thank you The StoryMaster  The StoryMistress  Itchybarn  for this site. |
| Prize Prompt 36 Lines // 245 Words // For "PromptMaster !" One day, the Dust Bunnies had a meeting "Achooo, to you" was their greeting. They hopped, they jumped, they ran around All over the open ground. Then the Chief Bunny called out loud "Gather round, all ye in the crowd!" The humbler bunnies around him stood In that clearing, deep in the wood. "Now we come to what this meeting is for To ensure Dust Bunnies rule forevermore!" A big cheer went up "Hip Hip Hurray Let us re-write history today!" "So let me tell you our plot is sinister We Dust Bunnies shall take over Easter!" The gasps, the cries, the surprised screams! This was beyond their wildest dreams! "Take over Easter? How can we? So mighty is the Easter Bunny!" "Hush, that bunny depends on his legs To go and hide those Easter Eggs." "But we can hop, roll, jump so high If needed we can even fly! So we can do the job with great ease Just put the eggs wherever we please!" On Saturday, they met again To carry out this master plan. The eggs were ready, all festive To take to where young children live. But alas, their plans were pipped Because the eggs could not be gripped! No legs meant they could fly "No hands, can't hold!" was the cry. So now this poem turns all sunny Coz Easter stays with the Easter Bunny. And the Dust Bunnies watch and sigh "We can't take over, but we did try!" Prize Prompt: ▼ |
| To my own self true Breaking rules of a haiku So as to please you! 15 words // 3 lines // For "PromptMaster !" Task Prompt Rule broken: It's all one poem, not two parts or anything, I think!  Plus I'm not sure if it really gives much insight, either! |
He tramped across our screens Took over our minds and hearts He made us laugh, he made us cry His messages pierced like darts. He taught us empathy He spoke what was true He had the strength to smile Even when feeling blue. He turned the art of comedy Into a precise science And wove his magic To give the world a conscience He dictated greatness By his very humility He showed the downtrodden Vistas of possibility He was funny, he was charming A schemer so innocent But above all you'll agree Charlie Chaplin was a gent. 97 words // 20 Lines // For "Note: Guess who's having a birthday today? So..." |
