REFLECTIONS OF THE A TO Z CHALLENGE 2015:
Well another challenge done and dusted,
I found it hard work but fun.
It's seems more challenging every year
Since the first one begun.
I was amazed at how many people took part,
How high the standard of the written word.
Also awesome pictures to accompany the posts
To me was totally absurd.
I also learned much from
The topics and themes that there were,
Eg: places of interest, and terrible diasters,
Women inventors,who are no longer here/
There were also many new friends,
Along with the established ones.
Each giving one another support,
Throughout this month of fun.
A big thank you must go to Arlee Bird,
Also to all helpers whose help was willingly given.
I've been a helper in the past,
So know how hard one is driven.
My own theme seemed to go down well,
A song title and poem to match.
But I had a trick up my sleeve.
I kept "Danny Boy" until last.
I think all in all, it was a huge success,
The April annual event.
It appears Arlee Bird came up with an idea
One that was Heaven sent.

It's had such a huge impact on so many!
ReplyDeleteI entirely agree Alex.
DeleteYvonne,
Yes, that was impressive by all who participated. It was neat to see so many new posts every day. It was also neat to see how all the different bloggers interpreted the letter for the day.
ReplyDeleteNice job! Congrats on getting through it!
Thanks Lauren for your comment. it was a great Challenge and good to see everyone supporting each other,

It was a wonderful interlude though at times harrowing concern when ideas froze! Otherwise it was most enjoyable. Thanks for your comments and responses to our comments Yvonne!

ReplyDeleteThis Challenge seems to bring out the best in those that commit to it and take part - everyone is so supportive of each other and prepared to embrace new ideas. I can't believe you were able to write a poem for your review I found it hard enough just thinking about what I should say!!! Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
ReplyDeleteHi Thanks for your lovely comment, I once wrote a poem about .....a garden pea......no I'm not mad yet.
