Are there going to be enough people interested enough to read it if I send out the next chapter?

AnninGlos

AnninGlos Report 30 Jul 2010 13:47

the number of people I am sending out to is getting fewer and fewer as I cancel out those who don't respons in any way.

phew that is a relief, thought we would be floundering. Although, of course it would be MUCH preferable if you didn't leave Rose.

Still no sign of yours Mau :( I will PM you my addy just to make sure ...I've had everyone elses so I know they're coming through.

Maggie...How about a poem on the theme of

"You can lead a horse to water...." lol !

or writing a piece of prose or poetry containing the following words...in any order..

Silence
shore
red
glass
sails
naked

Or

a time when you could have taken another road...literally of metaphorically as in this ( one of my favourite poems )


1. The Road Not Taken (Robert Frost)


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
