Guest Posting is Fun!

I recently wrote a few rhymes
for blog friends in busy times.
Unless you want to miss out,
come see what I wrote about!

Clerihews for Jessica at Finding One's Way

Pseudo Twins - for SJ at Almost There

Thank you ladies for the chance
to get your readers in my trance.
I hope they did enjoy my rhyme
and visit for a smile sometime.

Smiley Sociology "You're Worth a Million Bucks" Awards



Approximately a month ago, I opened the Smiley Sociology Study on time travel.
I decided to team up with some blog friends not knowing what would unravel.
The result was a fantastic voyage through words, dreams, laughs and squeams.

As the month went on, I began to worry... how will I ever be able to summarize?
What if my "research" concludes nothing no matter how much I analyze?
The posts were uniquely great so I'm challenged in reaching sociological conclusions,
so... awards now and come back soon for the "response rhyme" with link inclusions.

Bryan at Nuclear Headache deserves this award times ten for starting the theme.
He enlightened me about time travel all month long in ways I couldn't have foreseen.
I was most blown away by the time, he wrote his entire post in intellectual rhyme.

Doug at I Like Cheese rivaled Bryan's entire month of post topics blindly.
Knowing only the post titles, he researched what he could mindfully.
I loved his lesson on John Titor.  If I had to rate it, it'd get a high score.

SJ at Almost There wrote an amazing rhyme that swept me into a beautiful dreamland.
'Twas the first time I've fallen into a swirl and thrown into a mystic whirl by her hand.
Mary (the non-poet) gave poetry a try and wrote a splendid piece pondering the why.
She concluded life was perfect as is.  On the purpose of this life journey she'll rely.

Paul at One Eye on the Rear View Mirror went to 1974 for fun and to invest.
I agree with him that, if going back for a rock concert, the 70's would be the best.
Azfree took us far beyond her window and left me dreaming of the future.
Leaving the past behind through this port of call for a better life rumor.

Ignoring the rantings of the bald man, we all traveled more than 2 hours away.
Baldychaz says going any farther would mess things up in a very, very bad way.
Last but not least, I hope Atypical Scott didn't get cancerous tumors on is melon.
For me, sharing time travel month with all of you was like gellin' with Magellan.

I wish I could give you a real million dollars, but you're stuck with this digital bill.
Reading your posts, for me, is like popping a magical creative juice pill.

Awards of Awesomeness

It is time for me to bestow awesomeness awards on some writing fools
who treat me like the queen rhymer whose gibberish contains jewels.
Each has their own special spark and niche in this bloggerhood.
I'm happy to introduce them as the friends in my neighborhood.



The LOL Award goes to Bryan White for his mood ring post.
Of the many things I've read lately, I laughed at this the most.
Furthermore, I doubt he would have thought to write on this topic,
but he saw my study and used his creativity to be philanthropic.
His blog, Nuclear Headache, is filled with wonderfully witty words.
I sometimes have to look up the meaning of certain nouns and verbs.



The Best Friend Blogger Award goes to SJ of Almost There and Trainer Talks.
I'm sure many others would agree with me that this girl completely rocks.
She's full of helpful ideas... always reads, comments and shares my work.
If I didn't give her an award, I'd feel like a complete and total jerk!
She's pretty popular... a Top 500 Mommy Blogger in the UK.
I think she's going to do some really amazing things someday.

              

The Kreativ Blogger Award goes to Jessica's Japes for her haiku.
Her words about mood rings are beautiful, simple and true.
She's a versatile writer I read quite often with pleasure.
I recommend visiting her blog at your leisure.



The One Lovely Blog Award goes to Uma of Inside My Poem Book.
If you're a poet (and even if not) her blog is worth a look.
She took a creative angle on my mood ring study - in rhyme.
What if your computer had an app reading your moods in real time?
She also hosts poetry prompts to inspire writers to try new things.
I love participating in those forums.  Oh the fun it brings.



The Honest Scrap Award goes to Patricia Lynne.
She makes these pretty mood rings now and then
and is also quite talented with words and a pen.
