Poets Take a Break
A Word Finder puzzle for poets (and writers)
Fellow poets, this is not a poem but a challenge to give you a break from your writing. When I was working, I made Word finders. They were tools to help people understand quality and compliance (that is no easy task).
I was inspired by a great story from Dapham about Word Finders. It recalled my many work trips to Australia, America, Europe, and Asia. I would do about ten trips a year. Word finders became my go-to on planes. I never learned to sleep on long flights.
Dapham’s story is here (thanks for the inspiration!)
So here is the challenge.
In the image below is a Word Finder focusing on different poetry terms.
1. First, print off the image and find all the words in the list.
2. You will be left with eleven letters when you solve it.
3. The eleven letters spell out the hidden title of one of the poems I wrote for Vocal.
4. Decode the letters into the title's words. Find the poem on my Vocal profile and comment on the poem with your answer. (Maybe read the poem, if you haven't.😊)
5. In your comment, add a link to one of your stories. I will then go there, read it, and leave a comment. I know it is not money, but who knows where it might lead.
I hope it gives you a nice little break, a bit of fun to break up your day. 😊
Till next time,
Calvin

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.
