Good Friday, Readers!
We confused ourselves
with our own explanation of the February Burning Love Contest, so while yesterday
we went on and on and on about brevity, today we tackle clarity.
And clearly it will be
best to start by tossing out both the Dutch and the Germans.
Tossing done!
As
An Aside: Last night, I Lisa, asked for help on
Facebook concerning this matter. Pat G. responded,
but frankly most of what she said was unintelligible. Then our friend Ann N. weighed in with this
explanation of our contest:
You want
a terse verse
with a splash-n of passion
And the limit in words
Includes nouns & verbs
To describe that soft glow
That all lovers will know
Then you give out a prize
If it tickles your eyes!

Applause Please!!!!!
Yet perhaps still too vague?
Okay, here is what we're
looking for in SIMPLE and unpoetic terms:
Stories about the kind of love that burns in a good way—meaning it lights a person from
within. No more than 140 words.
Or
a coNUNdrum of exactly 140 words, and we'll reply with exactly 140 words. (We ripped this off from Jan A.--please follow her at One Hundred Words to save us on court costs.)
Send your entries to Lisa: miks@shentel.net or Maddie: mfmik@yahoo.com
We'll post them during the month on the blog.

Three
coFUNdrum prizes will be awarded—one for our favorite overall entry—two for random entries
because we appreciate your participation.
That should do it! CONfusion cleared—our own mainly.
Hoping you all have a
WONderful weekend with those who light up your life!

P.S. Rhyming is ALWAYS an entertaining option--anytime, anywhere.
Well, Pat G does not apologize for her unintellilibleness. It's quite an honest trait of hers at times. Especially when it comes to "hunka, hunka, burning love" discussions.
ReplyDeleteAnd if Ann N doesn't receive at least a blazing honorable mention then suspicions will rise like fire in a hay factory.
Ah, now the coNUNdrum. Do I write a story, or a coNUNdrum?
: )
This sounds fun! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for looking after Ann! She will be mentioned--and honorably at that. And we think you should write in a story AND a coNUNdrum.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S a no pressure deal. As long as you use the word 'beautiful' associated with mine like you did Donna's.
ReplyDeleteYours will be beautiful and lovely--just like you.
ReplyDeleteHeart U 2 : )
ReplyDeleteYou could write a story about the conundrum of whether to write the story or the conundrum.
ReplyDeleteThat exact thought crossed my mind. Scary.
ReplyDeleteTwins! (Which thought should really scare you.)
ReplyDeletethanks for visiting my site, too.... i would love to join your 140 love story but i don't have the gift of words... so i'll just keep on coming back and read your entries. thanks!
