For Fun
On the Recent Win
Chest cold and coughing... 'Congratulations, Kendall!' My symptoms faded... * Note: almost as soon as I received the news that I had finally won a Challenge, I got sick with a bad cough that lingered in my chest. I took Saturday and most of Sunday off to handle it, along with the work I had to mark and prep for my students, but I still feel rundown. But do not fear: I am still writing and I have at least one other piece on the go that will be up soon. This haiku just explains my state of mind now.

Poem A Day In February 2026
The Clogyrnach is 8, 8, 5, 5, 3, 3 syllables with an AABBBA rhyming end words that is many times read out loud. This is our contest for our last week, beginning tomorrow. A tricube format came originally from Mike Singleton and then Calvin London, who said, "Mike is a constant source of unofficial challenges and presents different forms of poetry. In a recent story, he talked about Tricube poetry. It is a very structured (three) x (three) x (three) format, the syllables for each of the three lines and three stanzas in the poem."
