This month, the Poetry Sisters are in conversation with the theme of light, hope, and peace. No form requirements, no length rules.
When we chatted last Sunday, Sara mentioned that she might write a limerick. Not necessarily poetry on the theme of light, but definitely light poetry (heh heh).
I snagged her idea and combined it with a core memory from a past Solstice celebration. Unearthing a photo from that long ago celebration resulted in a fun conversation with the head engineer and fudge-maker. He reminded me that our Fudgehenge was built pretty close to scale. And…it was so very yummy!
Here’s what what the other Poetry Sisters created:
Tanita @ {fiction, instead of lies}
Laura @ Laura Purdie Salas
Sara @ Read Write Believe
Liz @ Liz Garton Scanlon
as a bonus, Tricia @ The Miss Rumphius Effect has this week’s Poetry Friday roundup.
There are just two dates left on the Call for Roundup Hosts. Maybe one of them is yours? Check it out here.

I’m glad you snagged an idea from my offhand comment! I didn’t go light, after all, but that’s what’s nice about this end of year challenge—you can take it any direction you want. Your end rhymes are all so clever here! And how fun you still have a picture of Fudgehenge—that feels like a memory you can draw upon whenever you need a little light in your life. A reminder of friends, and the need to laugh, and all good things.

This is hysterical! I’ve been to Foamhenge (Virginia) and Carhenge (Nebraska), so I’m a fan of all forms of Stonehenge. Love this!
