	Colleen B	******THIS IS A PRE-APPROVED BLOGDICK****** REGARDING THE ETHEREE Cheryl told me to blogdick right here, and post this comment about the "Earthy Etheree" challenge that I'll be judging as part of the Daydreamer Poetry Contest. In answer to some of the participants questions, we will be allowing the double etheree and the reverse etheree. I will be posting a blog today on my page giving some examples of etherees, in addition to the one in the above poster. The standard etheree starts with one syllable in the first line, increases from one syllable in each line to ten in the last line. The reverse etheree begins with ten syllables and decreases by one syllable, with one syllable in the last line. The double etheree has 20 lines and is basically a combination of an etheree and a reverse etheree (in either order). WE WILL NOT ALLOW TRIPLE ETHEREES due to length and time constraints. Message me if any further questions, and good luck!!! HUGS......   Posted by Colleen B on August 15, 2008 - Friday - 5:48 PM [Reply to this]

	Cheryl's Pals' Creative Collab Corral	From Bob on the Tri-Ukiah Scotorum (Pronounce carefully) Here is an example I just wrote, based on the pic in the middle of the banner above: TRYSTING (A Triple Ukiah) Midnight in the blue lagoon. Two lovers at play, sharing the joys of their love. Skinny dipping in the dark. All is silent, calm, except for their beating hearts. Bodies touching in the warm shimmering water. quivering in ecstasy. © 2008 RGD The Ukiah is a reverse Haiku. Haiku is a Japanese poem form usually composed of three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. The Ukiah is three lines of 7, 5 and 7 syllables. The Ukiah was invented a little over a year ago, when Lady "Cheryl" Death tried to write a Haiku in a MySpace IM we were in, and inadvertently got the syllable count wrong. Instead of 5-7-5, hers was 7-5-7. I pointed that out to her, noting that the syllable count was exactly the reverse of a Haiku. We joked that she had created a new poem format, and since it was a sort of reverse Haiku, I reversed the word Haiku itself, and suggested we call her format an Ukiah (pronounced Oo-kah). Soon after that Cheryl held an Ukiah writing contest on her blog, which proved to be very popular. So you could say the Ukiah format was invented by mistake and named in a MySpace IM, and popularized on MySpace, perhaps the first and only new poetry format to claim such an origin. Haikus are sometimes written in two, three, or even more stanzas, so why not Ukiahs too? That's the challenge of this contest: to write a three stanza Ukiah on a single theme based on an image in the group on CPCCC Pal Daydreamer's profile page. It could be the image in the banner above that I wrote my example from, or a different image from her page. The important thing is to enjoy trying out this easy-to-write format (I wrote the one above in less than fifteen minutes). Good luck! :-)   Posted by Cheryl's Pals' Creative Collab Corral on August 9, 2008 - Saturday - 5:55 PM [Reply to this]

	Oma **PenStrokes** (NavWriter) Jane Penland Hoover	OK - this sounds like fun and I'd like to submit a poem for several categories. Do I send an e-mail message to you with the poem and pic in the body? I guess I'll just see the code, not the image, there?   Posted by Oma **PenStrokes** (NavWriter) on August 13, 2008 - Wednesday - 8:31 PM [Reply to this]

	Cheryl's Pals' Creative Collab Corral	Yes, you will have to copy the PIC you choose from Daydreamers profile to your files and then upload the PIC to photobucket (I think - unless clicking on the PIC takes you to Photobucket) so you can get the code to place in your message. Please remember to put the catagory of the contest in the title of your message.   Posted by Cheryl's Pals' Creative Collab Corral on August 13, 2008 - Wednesday - 10:08 PM [Reply to this]

	charlie brown charles lang	"the Walk" a boy and a girl go hand in hand.... ever so gently the children walk into the 'great' unkown... life is like that sometimes that a hand is needed for you to start the walk... hold the hands close and truly show no fear when two hands are clasped.... "what will they find when they reach the end of the journey?" take a walk and see what you will find on this day... when the two children walk together hand in hand..... P.S. last pic I saw was a little girl and boy walking hand in hand... hope I did this right? Charlie Brown....   Posted by charlie brown on August 17, 2008 - Sunday - 9:34 PM [Reply to this]
