I recently entered two horror poem contests. I won third place with the battlefield . I was very happy with third place.
THE BATTLEFIELD
A 5/7/5 CONTEST ENTRY
rotting corpses lay
scavenging hounds of hell run
victors marching on
GHOULS
A HORROR CONTEST ENTRY A 5/7/5 POEM
Ghouls feed in graveyard
on disemboweled corpse flesh
evil flows on land

a cold bit in air
Okay, the word is cheat. There are a dozen images that come to mind. All the way from the guy that cuts in line, the person that switches price tags to the kid peeking in the other kids test page.
Okay, there are so many forms of the word and so many examples . The word basically means something the person does to obtain something they desire without doing things the right way to obtain it. Okay, could I get any more vague or ambiguous?
From a sports fan taking some form of steroid to enhance their game playing ability to the guy forgetting to put down all the undeclared income in the column because it will put him 5.00 over the line to get medical benefits of thousands of dollars.
The end of August. The weather is still hot. But the nights are starting to cool down. the last of the summer flowers are blooming and the apples are starting to get large. I found a dried butterfly in the garden today. A sure sign that Summer is coming to an end.
The last crop of figs are starting to ripen and the grapes are ready to eat. Another Summer almost over. Of all the seasons I love Summer the best. I enjoy the hot weather and leaving the windows open at night. The sound of the frogs and crickets singing.
All too soon the weather will change and the storms will start. I will have to start wearing layers of clothes again. I will fuss and curse the cold and dream of long forgotten warm summer evenings.
Today the lesson was to try three new themes on the site. I went through them and tried three. I decided I liked the one I have. There was nothing wrong with the ones I tried I just did not like them. So I will keep the one I have.
The new tagline , what I learned today was how to change my generic Tagline to my own. I chose what I learned today. It seemed appropriate. I have always enjoyed learning and ty to learn something new each day. wheater it is something grand and important or something small and insignificant. Look at this I have been on WordPress for awhile and had no idea how to change the tagline. At this rate, I may actually be able to do all the things that most people already know how to do on their blog site before I am through!
I am blogging to write. I like to write and usually, do the daily post challenge to be able to write on any subject that comes up. While I am mostly a fiction writer I like to try my hand at other things.
During poetry month I was writing poems on my blog. I am a memeber of Fanstory and wrote a poem a day during that month. Then they were put into a book which I have on my portfolio. that was quiet a challenge because I tryed to do short syllabel poems about the diferent habitats of nature.
The subject was too broad and I could not do all the different psarts of nature that should have been reconised. Then I have written short stories on this blog along with just a subgect I had something to say about. I am looking forward to completing the blog university classes on blogging.
