Can We Have Some New Challenges?

It seems I have no inclination,

to write about my aspirations.

Can we have some new challenges please?

A spark to fire imagination,

a prompt to give me motivation,

Can we have some new challenges please?

*

A micro on a lost vacation

A sonnet of epic transformation

A confession for my soul’s salvation

A pet’s tale of laughter and frustration

*

We’ve done the new year celebration.

Enough with the procrastination.

Can we have some new challenges please?

You know it is my inclination,

to write a tale of condemnation,

So, hurry with the new challenges, please.

If you prefer appreciation,

get your butts in motivation,

and give us friggin new challenges, please!

*

Don’t make me sic Abigail on your asses again, Vocal. Like this one, from last year.

    I agree, I loved it when Vocal had two or three Challenges at a time. I love Challenges that force you to get out of your comfort zone. I like Challenges that encourage to go in different communities on Vocal. I say Please, Please ,Please tooooo. I second your motion, Cathy and Abigail. Oh third the motion, Abagail count, too. 💗🐱

  • I have no doubt they will come

  • You gotta unleash Abigail's wrath on them! Go on, I've given you the nudge 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I never win or even place or show, but they inspire me to do the best I can, you know. This is why I don't write poetry!
