Today’s prompt for OctPo is headed “do you accept this challenge”?… Here’s my reply!
Knowing when to walk away
And when to play along
Is a skill that I’m still learning.
But today I’m feeling strong!

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Thanks for always leaving a “source” or inspiration for your work. That is a great resource for a newbie poet like me.

You’re welcome. There are lots and lots of poetry challenges out there, so I can pretty much guarantee whatever your preferred style, there is a challenge for it “out there”!
