My contribution is a rehash of a poem I wrote for children some years ago. It celebrates July in Australia, so it's c-o-o-o-ld!! Does that mean I've broken some rule???? I'd love to collaborate with someone, so I'll come back here when I have more time to look into the 'workings'. My Blog is a daily compilation of original verse, a sort of humorous/ serious diary. I want to write a poem a day till I fall off the twig! Look on Rinkly Rimes for my July poem 'Battington Tops' http://rinklyrimes.blogspot.com/ I’m not quite sure how this blog works but it all sounds exciting.

Can we make that happen? She suggested in on Twitter, proof positive that the RWP Twitter page is not a waste of time. We also talk about buttery nipples over there. Good image for a poem.

It does keep us wrinkle free, though. But as for our clear complexions, they are entirely due to our expertise in black magic. Carolee: Great prompt. Sometimes the summer makes me really crabby, especially living down here in the fourth circle of hell. But a couple years ago I mustered all my will power and determined to LOVE it out of spite. Kill it with kindness, or something. I'm not sure it's working, but I actually am somewhat better with the heat and the humidity. The steering wheel burning my hands when I drive, not so much. I can't wait to poem about this. Donald: As a certifiable southern bell, I respectfully refute the claim that humidity helps clean the pores in any way. It does keep us wrinkle free, though.

When did you become so anti-sun? Me???Red hair, fair skin, freckles, blue eyes...and in the sunshine as much as humanly possible...cmon girl, we live in cold weather how many months of the year? The heat is uncomfortable...the cold is just painful...and for the record, you would love New Mexico...warmth without the humidity...or try the outskirts of Vegas (been there, done that, LOVED IT!!!)

The beauty of heat in the south is the great humidity that accompanies it. The garden is going wild. We cannot keep up with the cucumbers, zucchini, pole beans and purple hulls. And in the evening when the sky is purple, pink and orange at sunset the smell of the magnolias is the only thing more magnificent. One other thing, Southern Bells have a reputation for their great complexions, give that grace to the humidity. it does wonders to cleanse the pores without chemicals slathered on. But then I digress from the challenge at hand. You have given me my subject for a poem and I love it. Y'all come visit a spell, ya hear now? Thanks.
