Campfire Stories - The Aftermath

That owl contest is finally done
And they've announced the ones that won

I wasn't first with that big bird
But... Yay, hooray! I came in third!

And as a prize for that old picture
I now am fifteen dollars richer!

(After re-reading this, it's probably good it wasn't a poetry contest! Anyway, click on this link if you'd like to see the official announcement of the winners.)

Campfire Stories - Final

Hey, look! I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth! I've (finally) completed this campfire scene for the Owlentine's Day contest. I'll let you know how it all turns out.

"Whooooo wants to hear a ghost story?"

First

I know that I've been gone a lot
I'll blame it on this thing I got

A new computer! Hip hooray!
I use it every night and day

And then some more, both day and night
The screen is such a pretty sight

With memory and speed to spare
It cost a bit, but I don't care

And best of all, at least to me
It doesn't turn off randomly!

That's what this little poem is from
The first of many more to come

Cheese Doodle Day

Here's a thought that I'd like to convey
On this National Cheese Doodle Day
Mr. Morrie Yohai
You're my kind of a guy
Though your doodles increase what I weigh!

(Today we celebrate Morrie Yohai inventing cheese doodles back in the 1940's and me eating Cheetos right now!)

Ice and Snow

Ice and snow
Snow and ice
Normally not very nice

Snow and ice
Ice and snow
Unless we do not have to go

Rain and sleet
Sleet and rain
Off to our old jobs again

Sleet and rain
Rain and sleet
So back to bed, pull up the sheet!


(A little poem inspired by the fact that all the schools were closed and I got a work-from-home day!)

Campfire Stories - Part 3

Now it's starting to come together a little more. Backgrounds aren't always the thing that catches your attention, but they're pretty necessary to set the tone.
