When I ran for public office I announced on my birthday and had a fundraiser "old school" party. I raised quite a bit for the campaign!
One year my friends from all over the world sent me specially made chocolate cake. I had a month's worth of chocolate cake!. Now I am not proposing that again...YIKES!
The emails and telephone calls have started: what do you want this year? What is the theme? Hhmmm I want, I want, I want...
This year I want poetry, prose, any collection of words dedicated to me! I want all my friends including my beautiful blog friends to pen a poem, some prose, a missive, anything at all! That's it. It is my goal to post them all during the month of MAY! They can be anonymous if folks are feeling skiddish.
So all my blog Friends who are amazing at wordsmithing (see blog roll) I am calling you out on my behalf! My birthday countdown clock is up so you have lots of time. Lots of time! Of course I will remind you all over the next week. (smile)
I will bind them and put them into a book and that will be my theme this year: My own book of poetry, prose and love missives!
NO ONE IS EXEMPT! NO ONE IS EXEMPT!

Hark! I hear the gentle voice of INSPIRATION ;) And I am definitely up to the job. In fact, I consider it a privilege to try to capture some small part of my Lovebabz in the immortality of poetry! Gotta go to work, gotta go to work :)
