Nice to see this after all these years. 2007? Ouch... I was 'young'. It looks like both boys were doing well in 2022... the last update I saw.

As for AlphA: like your choice for Q, U, Z.
Kåre Enga in Montana - Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the poem and thanks for the update as well. *Smile*

Congrats! It was quite the prompt.
Dawn Embers - 500 words was not enough for your story, Dawn! I loved the creativity you took with it!
iKïyå§ama Congrats! As for this gif, it's clearly a momma bird fed up with the baby's squawking for more food. She's clearly mocking him. *Rolling* (Let's hope Daddy shows up soon with the food or something tells me, he'll BE the food!) *Fireworks1*

Hope to see more of you mentors around!

(ironic that the last round played was in honor of that certain event. Hah!)

And I got several queries about if I would consider running it again.

The honest answer? "I don't know."

When this was created, the idea was for folks to actually earn merit badges
especially as The StoryMistress was just kicking off the idea of creating new designs and having 'exclusives'.

Who knew that 'little' idea would turn into this juggernaut, where new badges are seemingly
pumped out every other day!
There are also now so many shortcuts to getting the badges, I don't know if there's even the appetite
to put in the 'work' to get them these days. *Facepalm*

Thoughts?
(I am listening...so to speak)

Thanks, everyone, for your input.
I will give this a test run next month or so, and see how it goes. *Bigsmile*
iKïyå§ama - If you let me know when you plan to open it, I will list it on "Contest Clues" .
🐦GeminiGem🌷 - Awesome! Will do. *Bigsmile*

Phew!
And with that last post, I can officially say that I am finished with "Game of Thrones"  2024!
Did not plan on entering. Did not plan on reliving the memories.
Yet here I am, a month later, and somehow still standing (barely)

Thanks, of course, goes to the mad woman behind it all - Gaby ~ Quiet contemplation and to her excellent team of helpers
(who should probably form a union and demand compensation or worker's rights or something)
So thanks to 🌸 pwheeler - love joy peace, Jim Hall, and Fivesixer, for helping to keep her sane.

A big cheer to all my fellow warriors, in all the rival houses (including some people from beyond the wall)
you all did your houses proud, and aside from a few hiccups, this was a peaceful enough event all around.
Kudos to all of you!

And of course, last but not least, my fantabulous team of fiery dragons
(geez, I'm getting emotional again for some damn reason)
But honestly, I think the smaller team format was a better idea because it helped us a great deal.
I truly appreciate and love my team to pieces.
We worked our tushies off, and as I've already told them, no matter the final outcome,
you can all hold your heads up with pride at flying our banners so beautifully.

So, to my dearest Dragons,
JACE , StephBee , Choconut , GERVIC 🐉 WDC Dragon Vale , StaiNed-House Targaryen

Thanks so very much for joining me on this journey. It was an honor being with you!

P.S: We still have that date in Jace's hot tub *Wink*

Oh my gosh!
I might actually be doing what I said I'd do Schnujo is Late to Lannister!
Giving medications and typing at the same time! *Shock2*



Multitasking, baby! *Fire* *Rolling*

As your house is ahead of ours in most cases, I FULLY support you choices for self-care. *Whistle* Your health and the safety of your patients is more important that GoT! It helping us out if you're too tired/busy is just a bonus. *Laugh*
Schnujo is Late to Lannister - And for that, I'm going to be typing up a story for The North Remembers as I adminster medication at the same time. You watch! *Pthb*
iKïyå§ama - Well, I'm guessing that will influence your subject matter and plot. *Laugh*

Ah, I always feel so weird when I share 'poetry' because I still feel like a novice. *Frown*
Ah well, here's what I came up with for my task:



she beckons with feline grace so alluring
orbs that flash with tales so secret; hence luring
hapless victims in pursuit of false promises
in dark alleys where they breed like viruses

scarred skin cloaked in matted fur and leather
only revealed with just the right fees to tether
her endless devotion for just another hour
while you drown-
          -and drown
                    -and drown
                              in her power

Euphoria wanes with the harsh herald of sunrise
remnants of her love etched deep within like a prize
nothing left but the pain that gnaws at regret
a fateful reminder to do all you can to forget


-----------------


Morley Fontaine swore one day to find fame
Enough of this life where all was just lame
Hence, on that fine day, he picked up his bag
And went out the door, as proud as a stag

The folks of Small Heath came out to cheer
There goes ol’ Morley for yet another year
They bid him farewell and made up their bets
For surely ol’ Morley must return with regrets

Springtime hops onward with promise anew
In summer, dog days linger all the way through
Fall leaves form bonfires to roast off the ghouls
‘Til winter’s bright snowflakes sparkle like jewels

And still they await, those folks at Small Heath
With eyes on that path now believing the myth
Of Morley Fontaine who swore to find fame
Had enough of this life where all was just lame




Poetry Form: Quatrain
A quatrain is a four-line stanza of poetry. It can be a single four-line stanza, meaning that it is a stand-alone poem of four lines, or it can be a four-line stanza that makes up part of a longer poem.
Quatrains are most common in verse that uses both meter and rhyme, but they appear in all types of poetry.
The lines of a quatrain vary in length depending on the type of verse being written: they can range from a single syllable to twenty syllables or more.
