The submissions are like a drop of red dye in a quart of water. Not much in volume, but it overtakes the water's colorless quality until you can see nothing else in that pitcher.

Mysterious Malady by A. F. Stewart

Off to Peculiar by Marilyn is looking for whatever there is N.

BRASS by Len Maxwell

More Conversations by Susan Budig

Previous submissions are worthy of your attention and it was my oversight that caused them to be highlighted past their due date:

Whew, I forgot how to do this, though I might have one that I'd written that I saved. Cross your fingers for me. I tried to start at the beginning and got lost and stayed there. Not sure why, but I'm going to read others,...uh, yours and see what I can't figure out!

Okay, it's a given that I'm not going to write a limerick. The graphic does nothing for me. If I tried to write about forgetfulness, I'd forget what I was doing. The words and phrase don't spark any idea. Instructions, huh? Don't have an idea what I might do with that, but it's the only thing that springs out at me.

There once was a man named Len
Who never developed a yen
For writing in verse
It all came out curse
Till he broke his last pencil and pen

That's why everyone loves me.
