03/15/07: My precious furry friend, Butter, passed away this morning. She suffered from “renal failure” and was 16 years old. And no, it's not from the recent pet food recalls going on, as she ate only Fancy Feast which was not affected. I will miss her terribly! And I wrote Memories of Butter in honor of her. My WOSIB sisters also created some special memorial pages for me.

02/20/07: A new writing challenge addition: Walking Through Illusion. Challenge was to write a “spine” poem using a favorite book, movie or song title that's at least four words long.

A Cinquain is a type of poetry in which the first line has one word, the second has two words describing the first line, the third line shows action with three words, the fourth line has four words that convey feeling, and the fifth line refers to line one.

Also, I've disabled my Guestbook feature because I was previously paying for a 3rd party guestbook service (to keep it ad-free, and the ones provided by my current host are seriously unattractive folks). I am now in the process of moving my sites to a new host and will implement a new Guestbook once the move is complete, so for now, please forgive me while the link at the bottom of every page that says “guestbook” doesn't work. This site is now about 300 pages so I tend to procrastinate more these days on site-wide edits. BUT not for long! I'm now getting into Dreamweaver so once the site is moved, site-wide edits will be done within moments! YIPPIE I can't wait!

01/26/07: One new poetry addition; While You Were Sleeping, which was written for a poetry challenge to write a poem about a favorite romantic movie. I chose to write one about “While You Were Sleeping” with Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman.

01/17/07: Two new poetry additions; So Much for Forever and You Were the One.

12/28/06: I've removed my forums, as I wont be doing dream interpretations anymore, at least for awhile, so you'll no longer find links to the forums at the bottom of every page or on the dream, signs and site map pages.

08/06/06: New poem, Cherry Twirl, just because.

07/25/06: New poem added that was written for a challenge to imaging you're walking down the corridor of a seemingly empty building, feeling a multitude of emotions. You close your eyes - what do you see? Choose your perception of what you may feel and write a poem, also including the following words; yearn, joyful, frailty, strength, fibre, loss, memory, dominant, sorrow, fear: Whispering Melody.

07/04/06: New love poems added: How I Really Feel About You and I Know It's True.

06/25/06: New poem added: Divine Union.

06/23/06: New poem, Gone, but Not Forgotten, which was prompted by the loss of a member of the women's group I'm in called WOSIB. WOSIB consists of many “gardens” and I am in the literary garden. Jenn, (known as MoonPixie in the group, is the one that passed on), was in the “Tags” garden, which meant she enjoyed making beautiful graphics. All of us in the Literary Garden felt the loss and began writing on her behalf. We even did an Add-a-Line poem where each of us added one line to a big poem. The garden that does graphics created a memorial page for her. I actually attempted my own very first graphic as well - you can see it here on my WOSIB page under my Literary blurb, and the image is linked to the memorial page if you'd like to see it. It's full of all the poems and graphics all the WOSIB Ladies made for her.

06/21/06: New writing challenge added; to look in the mirror and write a poem about one of my facial features, Intruder is the result. Also some new poems added: Thank You; and Friendship Truism, written for a poetry challenge to write a 24-line (or less) poem beginning with these two lines; “Nothing soothes a troubled soul; Like a friend who has known trouble”.

06/16/06: I changed My Poetry page from alphabetical to categorized now! Hope you enjoy.

06/15/06: Poem, Cherry Blossom Dreams, won Third Place award! Woohoo!

06/11/06: New submissions to Project Inspire - Thread #6: Awareness; and #7: An Inspiration to Us All.

05/27/06: New writing challenge, Valiant One, was added last night. This was an interesting challenge, to write an 8-line poem using all 10 of these words: harmony, infant, gravity, messenger, brilliant, soldier, darkness, companion, pompous, enemy. Another writing challenge was added as well called Diamante, a Diamante (diamond) poem. Details on what it is and how to write a Diamante are included.

Also added was a new poem, Cherry Blossom Dreams, written for a poetry challenge but I wont know if I've won until next month.

Recently too, I was awarded Honorable Mention for my poem submitted last month, Love's Limbo, and FIRST PLACE award for my short story, Joy of Spring ~ A New Perspective!
