Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Widget World! This is a new feature we are exploring for the middle Wonderful Wednesdays of the month. That is, to have a writing game. To kick off this concept, we took the word “widget” and thought of every word or phrase which could possibly rhyme with it or comes close to rhyming with it. We got the thirteen below. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The challenge is for you to write a poem using one or more of these words or phrases. If you can use it\/them at the end of a line to rhyme the line, so much the better. <\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The “theme” of this particular challenge is also determined by the word “widget” in another way. \u00a0The word has come to be a catchall for any kind of gizmo or invention, especially something mechanical or electronic.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

So the challenge is to use the concept of some new invention, maybe something you wish existed, and write a poem about it using one or more of the other words on the list<\/font>. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

The poem judged best at doing this will win – a widget. Some sort of a cybergift will be sent to their profile page. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

Oh and if you can come up with any other word or words which rhyme with widget, so much the better yet!<\/font><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

So put your thinking cap on and let your muse work its literary magic on widgetry!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

You are also encouraged to read and comment inventively on your fellow Pals’ postings. <\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n
