This should be fun! I can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with. Great prompt, Colleen! 🙂
We only have four of these challenges a year so it can’t get boring. 😂💖
Fun, Colleen! I have too many projects going on to participate, but I think this is what I do every week anyway with my Monday Morning Musings! 🤣 (Not usually syllabic, but this week I did a Wayra chain.)
That’s cool! You should link it here. 💖🌸💖
You know what my musings are like–it’s long with lots of photos. I don’t want to overwhelm. 😏
It’s perfect! I want your thoughts and what your day is like. You always add poetry so that works. <3
OK. If you say so–it’s always the past week though, not a day. 😏
I’ve added my lighthearted tanka. 😊 Thank you for everything, Colleen.
Yay! I thought this would be fun! I’ll be over soon. ❤️

Love this idea, I am looking forward to see everyone’s entrees. I have added mine to Mr Linky. I’ve tried a Sijo as it not one I’ve used here before I have explained the rules 💜💜💜😁
Wonderful! Isn’t this fun? I love that it is something different. <3
It’s a lovely idea isn’t it 💜💜💜
I don’t want anyone to get bored. LOL! <3
We certainly won’t

Your new theme looks nice, Colleen. I may have to try this one for Eclectic Brew. ❤️
Thanks Franci. Yes… you can change the background to a color with light text. It also has a left and right column for widgets, but it looked too cluttered for my taste. I like having some color, so this was a good compromise. The biggie being that you can read the text. LOL! I’m glad you joined in. <3
I saw the left and right options for columns and agree, it looks too cluttered. Plus, I found adding an extra column didn’t look good in Firefox. I love that it has color options! 😃
Yes, me too. So you’re back to Firefox? Me too. I loved Vivaldi but it wouldn’t work with WP anymore. I’ve got some CSS code I used to spiff up the side widgets. I think I have your email. I’ll send it. <3

Don’t have a good phone yet to take snaps of my day Colleen, but I’ll try to share something with my words.😥
No worries… not everyone has a phone. It’s all good. <3
