The winner of last Friday's Crambo game is Brian Miller, poet of Waystation One and one of the gracious hosts at dVerse Poets Pub. He somehow seems to crank out an amazing poem every day, leave thoughtful comments on countless numbers of blog posts, help run an amazing poet community, and be a devoted husband and father. Oh, and did I mention he works a day job to pay the bills? I am honored to have him as a regular reader and am delighted he is joining the games on Fridays to infuse his wonderful free verse with my requested rhymes. His contribution last week captured my heart as it painted that picture in my mind of asking my fairy godmother (or my hero) about the secrets to life:
do Tell, Quaintrelle
what makes your world Swell,
stacks the
Brick(s)building castles & kingdoms
(save my money from Psychic
Network)
what's your Trick
to un-
load a Ton
teach me your
Jargon
so i can
Run
You can visit Brian here to read more of his poetry or at dVerse Poets Pub for a 'drink at the bar'. Thank you for playing Crambo everyone! I hope you'll come back Friday and tell your
friends about the fun.

Crambo Winner Announcement
Last week's Crambo games brought four fantastic entries. I had a really hard time choosing a winner, but have chosen Jeffrey Scott. Jeff writes more than just poetry on his blog. He shares humorous rants about life, photos, and even throws in an occasional music critique or short story. He has been a very enthusiastic reader and poetic game participant for several months now on Rhyme Me a Smile. I do hope you will visit his blog and leave a comment to help brighten his day the way he does mine.
I chose Jeffrey's poem as the winner because I could see myself imagining such a story while staring at my cat, Sammy (Samantha). I've been reading a lot of fairy tales lately and these lines took my mind to a world where a clowder mined ore like the seven dwarfs did when Snow White happened upon them:
Silently formed a kitty clowder,
till suddenly they became much louder.
Rache the cat - don't mess with her.
Lo! She calls the clan for armour.
Equipped with weapons - even more.
That's why they mine the precious ore.
In her mind, such a fanatic.
But just a cat - so no such antic.
Kibble inspired dreams are ick!

Crambo Winner Announcement
The first Crambo game on Rhyme Me a Smile took place last Friday. I was very appreciative of the enthusiasm shown by multiple players, but especially by the winner: M. James of Slow Wit Poet. He uses rhyme beautifully in the witty verse on his blog and cranked out these giggle worthy lines last week:
Follow the rules or you'll be in trouble
It's clear that pop doesn't come before bubble
The reason to your rhyme makes me wonder
but I wouldn't call it any kind of blunder
I know too, how it goes, once the lines pop
the rhymes begin to flow and it just don't stop
The irony here is that M. James broke the rules himself in previous entries. (Read them here.) I didn't plan on requiring strict adherence to them to win, but I learned while reading this week's entertaining responses and trying to chose, that one who can adhere to the historic rules and pack a wallop of wit will win my heart every time. Congratulations M. James!
