#MoP12 has been intense, poetic, beautiful, a period of growth, a period of strength, a time when the words like Dido’s don’t always match what is going on in the background. I couldn’t think of a more relevant way to sum up MoP and say thank you to Kat at the same time.
Even the stomping on the flowers means something to a poet. There’s a story right there.
Kat has been so supportive and helpful with her thorough critiques even though her town is flooded, what strength of character that shows. Thank you Kat!!! XXX
And now on to a special secret surprise for another lovely lady who shall remain nameless. I have an idea for a blogfest (with or without the linky depending on my technical prowess
Expect an email soon. It’s super easy and their will be prizes. Just one thing though, do you know if it is allowed to use a quote from a book without permission? It would be such a shame to have to ask and spoil the surprise. So please could you find out for me? Thanks! Secret squirrels

What a beautiful gesture, Catherine. ThankYOU! Wonderful to have you take part. You’ve shared some gorgeous poems and been a fantabulous participant. xx
I’m pleased to reassure you that while many road arounds our area have flooded, our town itself stays high and dry. As does our house! (We just don’t get to go anywhere!)
Well I hope some helpful squirrels drop in with supplies Kat. MoP has been awesome, thank you x
Lovely post, Catherine, and I can’t wait to find out what your surprise is. I hope the secret squirrels help out!
I think you can use a quote as long as you give credit (especially since you wouldn’t be making a profit on it). It has been fun to be along for the ride with you this month. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Sounds fun! Love the photo.
Secret squirrel training facility!! Lol! Can’t wait to hear what you’re cooking up
I really haven’t been very well today but I’ve found a couple of quotes so I’ll choose one tomorrow and send the email
Oooh, a surprise! How fun! I thought it was ok to use snippets, as long as you give credit. No? I’m not sure!
Enjoyed this sweet post and always love surprises
I love that video! I’m trying to write a poem this week. ACK! We’ll see, if I can survive the challenge (it’s for an online writing class…).
I hope you get some inspiration from Dido then Stacy. Good luck.
Loved the picture of the squirrels — as if their racing for the prize. Love surprises too. Can’t imagine what you’re thinking about.
What a sweet post! That surprise sounds awesome
Thanks Elisa. I’m just trying to work out how to bulk email blog followers.
I love the “Secret Squirrel Training Facility.” So funny. You’ve got us all curious about what you’re planning. As far as I know it’s fine to use short quotes from books. Have at it!
