Apparently, Stone Skipping is quite a popular pasttime as there are tournaments and events for it, even a blog post titled:
” 13 Tips to Becoming a Better Stone Skipper”
Who knew?!! Not me!
I used to enjoy it as a child when I lived close to a river, but had since forgotten about it until now.
However, it looks like a great leisure time activity for anyone interested, especially if you live close to a river or lake!

Childhood memories of growing up in the country….ice skating on the river behind our house and sledding down hills. 🙂

This one is really not as creepy as it looks! 🙂 The picture was taken one day when my two grand-daughters were just fooling around having fun making goofy faces. After I looked at the picture I was inspired to write the poem and then, I figured I would add a filter to the picture to make it look a bit more creepy. Guess this happens to fit right in for a post on Halloween. 😦

NaPoWriMo–Day 30—For the last day of NaPoWriMo 2015 we were challenged to write a poem backwards. I took the last poem I wrote for NaPoWriMo 2014, (Adieu to April) wrote it backwards, and then rewrote it to make sense. It originally was a Nonet and the rewritten form is an Etheree.

NaPoWriMo–Day 29–write a poem in the form of a review.
I chose to review what has happened on this blog over the last year and that is what I based this poem on.
I want to take this time to say “Thank You” to all of you who read my poems, like them and share them.
I appreciate all of the followers this blog has and enjoy the interactions I have had with many of you.

This poem was written in honor of National Pie Day and National Handwriting Day–January 23rd
January 23rd is also the birthday of John Hancock

Today brings to an end the April Poem a Day Challenge. This was my second year of participation and I have greatly enjoyed it!
Since I have been writing a Poem a Day for over one year, writing a poem a day was not that big of a challenge to me anymore,
therefore, I chose to challenge myself further this month by not only writing a poem a day, but to also write a different form of poem each day,
plus I also chose to create some form of artwork daily for each poem.
It was a challenge–but one I really enjoyed!!
Many thanks to NaPoWriMo 2014 and WD 2014 PAD Challenge for their daily prompts which often inspired me!
