Topic: Swinging thru the Jungle with Elfwing and ?(Maybe Tarzan and Jane and uh Cheetah-the monkey)
Pic of huge,tall,broad tree with vines ready for swinging-

Thematic Attic for June:
(Side Note: Because we did a mother’s Day blog last month, and a Father’s Day blog last year…we decided not to create a Father’s day blog and leave that option available for the other crew members to pursue if they want.)
June 2: “Just To Say I Love You” -A play on phone message exchanges based on the Stevie Wonder Song “I called to say I Love You”
June 9: “Fragile” -A look at vulnerability in a classic Thematic Attic Style
June 16:**(Tenative) “Solstice” – We want to do a blog on the Summer Solstice, but do not want to duplicate the Friday Fling, so we may have to make a few adjustments and narrow our focus on the theme.
June 23: “Petroglyphs” – A poetry game that will have visual options to choose from to create a poem.
Oh so dark may rise
What blessings can you find
In this magic of life!
A man without ambition is dead. A man with ambition but no love is dead. A man with ambition and love for his blessings here on earth is ever so alive.
Pearl Bailey
Paint your words with Blessings!
And colors magical paint brings!
Oh so many Tunnels… we seem to look through life
Can we bring ourselves to see a blessing on the other side??
As so stepping each stone in life
Searching the magical Blessings
Through strife
I shall become complete
These challenges so choose
A blessing…. not defeat!
Can you reach down inside
Release your magic.. do not hide
Do you face the ability in self
Or do you place you on a shelf
Open you!
Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace. The soul that knows it not, knows no release from little things; knows not the livid loneliness of fear.
Amelia Earhart
sounds good to me Cheryl…i’ll clear my schedule for that Tues night/Wednesday the 15th…
the topic? hmmmm…what about…”OPPOSITES”…choose a pair…for example: heaven and hell
hot and cold
ecstasy and agony
black and white
winner and loser
etc…etc…etc…
both words should be in the title of your poem…tell us in any poetic form of your choice… how opposite they are…or maybe how similar they can be…or how about how one could possibly be mistaken for the other…excited to see how each writer’s “OPPOSITES” attract.
ok i’ll shut up now…that was my idea…don’t know if it’s been done before…if it has let me know and i’ll think up something else…otherwise let me know what needs to be done next…i’ll do my best…don’t want to let you down…

I have lined up a July guest host ~ still waiting to confirm the date. I added the idea to the June topic blog just so it would not get lost *smiling* and will move it over to the July topic blog when I get around to posting it. Anyway the Friends name is “Surendra” link:
Surendra ~ How would you like to make your bulletin on “W” a poetic challenge idea in July? Folks could choose which “W” worries them the most for poetic insperation….
We have a venue where we line up Guest Hosts on Wednesdays called “Wonderful Wednesday”. You can read about it here:
From a post on the Magic Monday Page ~ we will use in July *smiling*
The full moon, as it ascends just above the horizon
sings a melody no instrument has captured,
and pulsates with harmonies that resonate
from the tops of mountains
to the depths of the sea.
The moon gives her song freely
to any who would hear it,
but to be counted among her audience
you must open everything in yourself,
that the waves of her song might touch
the eardrums of your soul..
Here the poster for the Pick-Apart for Wednesday the 29

Friday Fling:
we thought the month would have the theme: Jumping June on the Friday Fling, jumping into marriage, summer, life.
June 3: Your most recent or memorable wedding
June 10: Celebrating warm weather with a picnic; do you do it, and if so, how?
June 17: Most recent or important graduation in your life
June 24: What the first day of summer means to you

The magic in woods!
what can wood do
is a life hollow in you?
can you create and widdel through
so this tree of life we choose?
Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
Francis Bacon
Can you find magic in connecting
Is their a spark in your heart string
When you bring things together
Will this chemical last forever!
Brought together one by one
Perfect connection magically spun
Deep within our souls

Which is the most Dangerous

The Answer is “W”…as in Wrong
“W” is a tension generator…
because all the worries and troubles get begins with “W”…
Who ? Why ?
What ? When ?
Which ? Whom ??
Where ?
War…
Wine… Whisky… Women…
Wealth
And finally …….
You have to accept this :
