Penguins

In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about nuns: penguins scare me.
———————————————————————————–

Trifextra challenge: Robert Frost one said, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.” We want you to do the same. Sum up anything you want, but do it in three words. Your response should mirror Frost’s quote by beginning, “In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about–.” And the last four words are yours to choose. I attended 12 years of catholic school – Sisters of Mercy? not so much.

🙂 I have one of these on my desk at work – thanks to staff members. 🙂

Animal Verbiage

If you kids don’t knock it off, I’m going to come in there! You don’t want that right?

No, Daddy. We’ll be good. We promise.

More giggles.

Quit monkeying around! Here I come.

The Trifextra weekend challenge was to use an animal as a verb. This is my original thought – and it was exactly 33 words. So, rather than monkeying with it further, I decided to post it as is. I missed the weekly challenge – my first to miss, I think. It’s been a busy week.

This weekend’s entries will be community judged. So, if you’re inclined to do so, read all the entries and vote for your favorite three. You will have exactly 12 hours after the challenge closes to do so. Support writers.

The end of the story

At summer’s end the house had been razed. The girls chatted.

“Janey, what will you say you did this summer?”

“Just that I am so glad to be friends with you, especially now.”
———————————————————————–

Our weekend challenge from those novel trifecta editors was to finish what we started with the July 27th challenge. I had started a young adult mystery. As you can (I hope) imagine, LOTS must have gone on in between those 33 opening words and the above 33 closers.

Home – Trifecta

August 15th, 2012 / Categories: Moose Nuggets, trifecta, words / 3 Comments »

It looks like home
Where my heart is
Smells like home
Where my heart is fed
Seems like home
When my heart returns
It’s HOME with you and
The love we share together
—————————————————————-
Your challenge from trifecta, should you choose to accept it, is to write 33-333 words on HOME – as in “home is where the heart is.”

These are my words – where are yours?

Streamers fluttered the day you arrived. You turned them on completing the class of 1980. We celebrated your life and laid you to rest under a war torn flag today. We’ll miss you.

The Trifextra Challenge is to
Give us 33 words (exactly) that tell us three different uses for one object. But don’t just tell us that a can opener can be used to 1) open cans, 2) open beer bottles and 3) break a window in case of a fire. Tell us a story.

Those sharp editors are so crafty – sharp like the knife in their quote (go and see). Not sure this lives up to the challenge, but it’s where my not-so-sharp mind landed. I chose strips of cloth as my object.

What about YOU????
