Merry Chickmas, all!
Twas
the
eve
before
chickmas
and
all
through
The
Coop
the
chicklets
were
peeping
and
looking
for
loot
they
ate
all
the
cookies
the
bread
and
the
corn
and
nothing
was
left
for
the
next
Chickmas
morn
the
hens
shook
their
feathers
and
went
right
to
work
chirping
and
peeping
they
turned
with
a
jerk
to
see
their
sweet
chicklets
all
fuzzy
and
bright
they
knew
they’d
be
cooking
well
into
the
night
tiny
wings
started
flapping
and
joy
filled
the
air
cuz
the
meaning
of
Chickmas
is
to
love
share
and
care
Post Scrip: This poem was a collaborative effort by chicklets, Zack, Martha and Zoe, who, with the backing of the other chicklets, wanted to thank the hens for their hard work.
The chicklets raided the kitchen and ate most of the treats for the party and for Christmas morning. The hens, knowing that would happen, hid quite…

Wait until you see what happens! I adore the way JMR approaches his artwork.
Quelques photos de la première session, toujours étonnant de voir prendre forme un tableau, moi qui prend tellement de temps à les terminer et pourtant ils prennent habituellement forme dans la première heure.
A few pic taken from the first session on this new painting, I am always surprised how fast my painting are taking form in the first hour, especially knowing how long I do work on each one after.
Maybe I should take a hint from that and work faster, not trying to over do it…something to think about I guess, but I am so taken into putting details in…

Yay, I’m in Dale’s Advent Calendar. It is a most cool idea. Thank you Dale! Hey, check it out and see who else you might know!
In the spirit of Christmas and the Advent Calendar that has been revamped and re-purposed in myriad ways, I have decided to do one of another sort. Instead of taking one chocolate per day (or wine or whatever goodie is in vogue) or adding one item into a box to donate for a good cause (a very good thing, indeed) I have chosen to send a little love to my favourite blogs.

Resa McConaghy is one busy woman! Not only is she a costume designer by day, she is also a photographer, a writer and creates the most gorgeous art gowns, evah! (Click on her name to go to her website and drool away. I promise you, you have never seen such magical dresses.)
We follow a few blogs in common – most notably, A Frank Angle and have bantered…

Love this post about Kuala Lampur, by Nawfal!
Kuala Lumpur is a city I always enjoy visiting, and I suppose that is because of my Urban Planning background: I have a Masters of Community and Regional Planning degree from the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. My Masters thesis was actually about Urban Planning in areas with Limited Land Space. That, however, seems like ages ago, when I was in graduate school at UNL.
Kuala Lumpur is bustling and always growing. Construction is non-stop. And, every structure seems huge in Kuala Lumpur.

Holly is an amazing writer! She constantly & consistently blows my mind with her prose. You’re amazing, Holly!
I left a message for you in a book.
It is like me to mark provocative phrases,
to shake them out in ponderous verses.
Do not read too much in the fallout of pages,
the notes in the border are for nostalgia’s sake.
I dreamed about love last night,
my adversary always teasing me.
Your aura I only half recall yet you linger,
the suffering is in knowing what might be real.

Creative Writing, Dance, Fiction, Humor, poetry, Writing Challenge
Frank, over at “A Frank Angle” has invited us to dance a challenge.
Here’s how it works!
“The She/He Challenge involves writing a story that bounces between the mind of two people. The twist is that I have written what is the man is thinking about her (She statements), so the challenge involves writing the woman’s thoughts (He statements about him). To increase the challenge, each sentence in the woman’s thoughts must begin with “He” to complement the “She” that starts each sentence in the original story.”
❦❦❦❦❦❦❦❦
She’s the one for the next dance.
He probably thinks I like his vintage tux and ruffled lime green shirt.
She displays a slight smile as I approach.
He swallows hard, & his clip-on bow tie falls off onto the dance floor.
She changes her face into a glow as I extend my hand.
He steps on his bow tie, as he takes my hand.
She graciously engages my offered frame.
He holds me too close, and the lime green ruffles irritate my decolletage.
She transforms my leads into beautiful motions.
He steps on my right foot!
She glides the floor with grace and elegance.
He steps on my left foot!
She makes me feel like the king of the ballroom.
He thinks he’s the king of the ballroom?
She smiles in appreciation as the music ends.
He tells me he’s decided to invest in another vintage tuxedo.
She is the one.
He is the two…. left feet!

Thank You, Dear Holly! xo
Remember back when you were a rock star
and I was a hippie angel?
How comfortable we were with our
heart and souls bared.
Do you remember now that you are so far
away that night in Eden when you came to me
and I came to you and the rest of the world
slipped away?
We held on to one another, made love and cried
decided never to speak of how every time
the lights went out you rushed to me,
so tender, coming and going.
Young and in love, we named that month Sextember,
yes, it still matters to me.
Do you remember our anguished goodbye?
Neither do I.
