2010
I’m having a great time bouncing from blog to blog! Today you can find me with Khy, the Frenetic Reader. Did you know I once sat next to a real American Indian Chief on a plane and that inspired a scene in FHN?
Also, you can check out my Romantic Bloopers from yesterday on Harmony’s blog. Lots of fun!
Lastly, I’d like to feature one of the winning poems from my LoveFlowerPoems contest earlier this month. (Winners receive a package of Forget-Her-Nots swag.) One of my judges, Tenner Blythe Woolston, said:
“I like this formal poem, with its tight end rhymes and well-defined stanzas. It reminds me a little of John Donne–and I like to be reminded of John Donne.”
Wow! Blythe is also a poet, and everybody reads some John Donne in high school, right? Cool. If you like the poem, send Megan some love. Here’s her Twitter.
You Slay Me
Speak, speak, or hold your peace forever
For I will not allow your endeavor
This terrible, wretched hold on my heart
With words intended to prick and smart
Like Roses dripping off your tongue
Speak, Speak, or leave it unsung
Laugh, Laugh, tell me I’m wrong
This was not a trick all along
Everything was brilliant from the start
And your Roses only added to the art
Of new love painted bright
Laugh, Laugh, hold on tight
Kiss, Kiss, fade it all away
Keep the jealous fears at bay
Words soft as petal’s dew
Refreshing and brand new
Whisk me away to lands unseen
Kiss, Kiss, end this routine.









Congrats Em! My lovely little buttercup ^_^ That poem is lovely.
