  Inspiration of this work was a day trip to the North Sea (Hook of Holland). It was a pretty windy day and the wind was swinging the waves and heavy grey clouds. Sometimes these waves (full of cold water) tried covering all stones that were on the coast. But then I saw birds which were sitting on these stones like nothing happens. It were different birds including seagulls which were in a same rythm with the wind and soaring above the waves. Some clouds were letting the sun shine on this picture from time to time...

  I am very flattered to have been nominated for the One Lovely Blog Award by Laine Jensen, who herself has a lovely blog, an attractive showcase for her beautiful poetry. Please visit it and you’ll see what I mean.
  I write essentially fantasy because it comes closest to our dreams. Real life I certainly get enough of without writing about it as well.
  When I’m not writing fantasy I write poetry, or at least my attempt at poetry. It’s where I slip the thoughts and images editors tell me don’t have their place in a modern novel.
  I get very angry about social injustice, child and animal abuse, people who think shooting other things is fun, and religious bigotry.
  There are masses of bloggers I’d like to ask you to go and visit but the linking up stuff takes forever and I have to walk the dog, work out the meals for next week, fill in the quarterly tax form, do the washing, clean the bathroom and cook a couple of meals sometime too, so I’ll stick to the regulation fifteen.
  Please visit these beautiful blogs. There’s a bit of everything: beautiful poetry, short stories, photography, musings, and humour.
  None of the above are going to be strong-armed into accepting the nomination or paying me lots of money. Just visit and enjoy.
  I’m going to keep adding to the official list as I realise that I’ve left out dozens of lovely blogs.

  I ought to and will send a link to all concerned. Was just having a break from it. It’s the part I hate most—getting all those links together. Your blog is gorgeous btw. I learn something new every time you post 🙂
  Thank you Peter. I realised when I’d finished my post that your blog wasn’t on my list. It was meant to be, so I added it at the end. I keep thinking of other blogs I should have added. This will be an on-going list 🙂
  I think its very nice to be included in your lists you may like to visit. I am glad you have been recognised, because you deserve it, and in turn you’ve added a bit of cheer to my Saturday morning, so thanks for that as well
  
  This one I discovered yesterday and found it was a fun form to use. It’s another rhyming one, so I strongly suggest you end the first line of each stanza with a word that gives you plenty of scope for rhymes. The monotetra is a series of four line stanzas, as many as you want, but there are strict rules about both rhyme and rhythm. Each line has eight syllables and four beats, so you’ll have to read it aloud to yourself to make sure it scans. The last words of each line in the stanza rhyme. The fourth line of each stanza is the first four syllables repeated.
  As usual, please leave your links in the comments. You have one week from now to hand in your copies. And have fun!
  Wow! I like that a lot. It is very satisfying to read, and of course your example is perfect. Must try it. I’ve not entered any writing challenges lately… must get a grip!
  Thank you! I think I’m going to like this one 🙂 I’ve had another go at it, and it works! First one wasn’t just a fluke.
  I wanted to write something dark, but not with physical shadows. I’m not sure if this really fits the bill, but I’ll post it anyway!
  I did find this page that devotes itself to Tetrameter and gives a little more detail about what four-footed verse is.
  Your example is beautiful, and makes the form very clear. Even so, I had to work on mine for a while.
