Crafting Poetry One Syllable at a Time
Posted on November 3, 2020 by Colleen M. Chesebro
What a fun event. My love of ancient lore and mythology came into play for this piece. ❤
Today, with distinct pleasure, I announce the winners of the Carrot Ranch’s 20202 Writing Rodeo Event #1 which I had the honor of organizing. Eighteen brave souls saddled up, lassoed 99 words, and created brand new folk lore type stories for Carrot Ranch. There were comedic pieces and two works of horror, a romance, myths, legends, and a fairy tale. There were researched pieces, too, for the historians. Each and every one of the contestants should feel proud. They flexed their writing muscles and, woo wee, they did not make it easy for the judges to pick the winner!
Everyone who participated is welcomed to display this badge on their website. You earned it!
Now, for our Writing Rodeo 2020 honorable mentions:
“Sky Rider’s Happily Ever After” written by Liz Husebye Hartmann
“Snow White and the Seven Gunslingers” written by Nora Colvin
“Flem and the Rattlesnake” written by Mike Vreeland

“A good poem is a contribution to reality. The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it. A good poem helps to change the shape of the universe, helps to extend everyone’s knowledge of himself and the world around him.”
