| AUGUST WORD CHALLENGE-WINNERS | The August Challenge was to compose an Acrostic poemThe winner of the Challenge this month is Adele with
her Acrostic headed Reflections and Rainbows
Raindrops fall in everyone’s life
Amid the worlds troubles, toil and strife
In times of need, you may feel no one’s there
No one to hug, or your troubles to share
Depression takes hold, worlds fall apart.
Rightly, or wrongly, it chokes the heart
Of many a stalwart, who before had no fears.
Preventing them; from holding back the tears.
Sadness overwhelms, blots out the sun.
And before you know it, the downward spiral has begun.
Never think you’re alone, there is always someone there
Devoted to your wellbeing. And will show you that they care.
Remember the good times, bring them to the fore
And learn to live again, like days of yore
Inhibitions....... leave them in the past
Now you’re getting stronger, they’ll never last
Believe in yourself, let in the warmth of the sun
Only you has made this happen, and your new life has begun
Wet and grey skies are turning blue once more
Storms always carry ‘rainbows’, of this you can be sure. |

| POEM OF THE MONTH AUGUST 2010 |  The Ballad of Mad Moselles by Ioloa
Some called her Frenchie Manglés,
Some called her Mad-Moselles,
She set her cloché at angles
That riled the other belles,
She shimmied in her sequins
And flipped her flapper’s fringe,
Out booping poor old Betty,
As she razzled on her binge...
She picked a peck of red hot peppers,
And popped them in peoples’ dwinks,
She tangoed with the gigolos -
Then told them they were finks!
The last time they saw Mad-Moselles
She was dancing with a Pole,
(A skipper’s mate from Warsaw)
Who was as merry as King Cole.
Say what you may of Mad-Moselles,
(And many said a lot!)
She was the first pole-dancer
When ‘all that jazz’ was hot!
Weep for the soldier by Castallaman
Weep for me now oh my proud lovely lady
Weep for me now for I’m gone far away
Over that dark hill and down where it’s shady
Eternity’s time, evermore and a day
Tell our dear children my love was unending
They will not know now the man that I’ve been
Sorrow is brief for them , mercy is lending
Cushioned forgetfulness of what they’ve seen
I will not be there to watch all their growing
No more soft moments and innocent eyes
Always it has to be you that they’re knowing
On your slim shoulders their future relies
This is no place for young men to be dying
Barren and hopeless without any care
Seeing such waste all the world should be crying
Scoured of love this is hell and writ bare
So then weep for me now as the next day is dawning
Weep for a while and then please dry your tears
Think of me happily each bright new morning
Glad that we had those brief , wonderful years. |

 GIRAFFE LIMERICK
You would need a very long scarf
If you happened to be a giraffe
You could get very hoarse
In the winter ,of course
And a cough is no cause for a laugh .!!!
