Hi All.
This forum used to be a bustle of energy and I've been gone so long I thought I'd be way behind? What happened? Maybe it's time we got a few word games organised again to get those grey matter juices circulating again.
Here's a challenge for the writers forum....
In South Africa where I am it is autumn and heading towards winter season where the sweetpeas are to be planted etc..
In either a poem or a short prose, give us a colorful description of the season your country is headed into......
Come on people....
**
**I DARE YA!
Post you entries here in this thread. Closing date 30th April!

I was watching Mythbusters on TV the other night and they actually made a balloon out of lead - it actually floated!!!

Funny, we're past the closing date of this challenge, and I'm still thinking of something. I keep trying to write, but stuff just keeps happening and I'm incredibly distracted. Ugh...oh well...I'll write something! Late or not!

Hiya Chipka,
Due to no one really responding I left this as an open challenge. So please feel free to share your work.
I know all about getting distracted!! LoL

Here's my take on the season in New York...
**Sticky, the air hums,
Violent thunder rent the stillness;
The dogs are laying in air cooled palances
While the masters toil in the foul heavy hot air.
Not even the eighth month on my calendar,
That month of ancient dog days;
Nor the sixth,
when all the school building began to vacate and bake;
Somewhere in between, I am lost in the mist of my mindscape;
as I sit here on the sandy blanket, looking out at the green water
under my little round shaped shade.**
Is this what you mean?

Oh that is so descriptive it almost takes me there and I'm gasping for air in the humidity and we're mid winter!
Fantastic, ThunderStone!

My short contribution! LoL
have a great day all!
Tingling wet noses not belonging to the hounds
Drip in time to the miserable sleet and rain.
Numb and icy fingers trying to type in time.
Jittering clattering chompers stutter the sentences
As we communicate our discomfit.
Hot hands holding heated mugs of brandied coffee
Snuggling lovers sharing thick blankets on sofas
in front of neglected blaring tvs
Delicious homemade soup from mum
simmers slowly on the stove
Ahh yes,
Winter time is here

Mercy Cries (Words & Music by LyzonLightheart) 4 – 29 – 2008
(VERSE 1: )
Before the beginning,
God was the Word.
God was Mercy.
God was Life.
God was Light.
With a single phrase,
Became the beginning.
With a single phrase,
Mercy created everything.
With a single phrase,
the Lord God Almighty,
Yahweh Cried Mercy.
(CHORUS 1: )
Mercy cries consider
Mercy cries forgive
Mercy cries believe
Mercy cries decide
Mercy cries sing
Mercy cries dream
Mercy cries live
Mercy cries begin
Mercy cries deliver
Mercy cries Mercy
Mercy can't be denied
Mercy cries wow
Mercy cries now
Mercy cries belong
Mercy cries underdog
Mercy cries under God
Mercy cries I can
Mercy cries I am
(VERSE 2: )
When you hear the world's laughing eyes
Come upon you by death's design
They say that only two things are certain
There is only death.
There is only taxes.
When he that is in the world.
Reminds you of your past
Simply proclaim his future.
For the wisdom of man,
Is built upon shifting sands
And like everything in the world,
Satan's wisdom is folly.
And it too shall pass.
Because only mercy stands.
Because only mercy lasts.
(CHORUS 2: )
Mercy knows no end
Mercy cries life
Mercy cries light
Mercy cries enough
Mercy cries love
Mercy cries soul
Mercy cries song
Mercy cries God
Mercy is never wrong
God cries mercy
Mercy cries water
Mercy cries fire
Mercy cries desire
Mercy cries know
Mercy is our Spirit
Mercy is our Father.
Mercy is Jesus Christ
(VERSE 3:)
On a hill called Golgotha
Mercy which knew no wrong
Mercy cried forgive them
Mercy was slaughtered
Mercy, man thought was gone
Mercy cried man is wrong
Mercy cried when God died
Mercy cried I am is defiled
Mercy cried and we didn't die
Mercy cried sin is death
Mercy cried death has died
And three days later
Mercy cried behold
Mercy cried away the stone
Mercy cries forever
Mercy cries I am is alive
(CHORUS 1: )
Mercy cries consider
Mercy cries forgive
Mercy cries believe
Mercy cries decide
Mercy cries sing
Mercy cries dream
Mercy cries live
Mercy cries begin
Mercy cries deliver
Mercy cries Mercy
Mercy can't be denied
Mercy cries wow
Mercy cries now
Mercy cries belong
Mercy cries underdog
Mercy cries under God
Mercy cries I can
Mercy cries I am
(VERSE 4:)
Although my song has come to end
Tomorrow morning mercy will be new
The mercy train has come for you
Mercy cries it matter not what you've done
The conductor proclaims my grace is enough
And my blood bought your seat
His mercy cries simply accept and believe
Oh, the mercy train is coming
Don't ya want to go when mercy cries follow
Mercy cries I am coming to take you home.
Mercy cries from this day you are never alone.
(CHORUS 2: )
Mercy knows no end
Mercy cries life
Mercy cries light
Mercy cries enough
Mercy cries love
Mercy cries soul
Mercy cries song
Mercy cries God
Mercy is never wrong
God cries mercy
Mercy cries water
Mercy cries fire
Mercy cries desire
Mercy cries know
Mercy is our Spirit
Mercy is our Father.
Mercy is Jesus Christ

September Approaches J. M. Strother
September approaches, but with August heat, as
As summer attempts to hold its tenacious grip.
But even now, in August's last days,
Some leaves turn an early red,
Harbingers, they say, of a long cold winter.
In but weeks the jackets will come out,
Then the gloves, the hats, the scarves
And we will lament, as always, the loss of the glorious summer
Even as we forget how we cursed the heat.
Hi, SusiQ. I saw your challenge months ago. It was good to see your name again, and apologize for taking so long to actually get around to responding to it. I keep checking in here periodically hoping things will once again pick up, but it seems to remain quiet. I know, I'm part of the problem, by failing to post. I'll keep checking back periodically, but do not have great hopes that things will pick up. Take care.
