I did write a poem based on MIchelle’s Poefusion Monday Mural. But was not able to post it yesterday. I’ll post it tomorrow. Check out the picture she posted, interesting!

720 Cans Donated

Dec 13 2008

Thank you all. Shelly at This Eclectic LIfe matched my comments and I hers, and we each had two other non-bloggers who matched the total of hers and mine. So, in effect 120 comments total, 80 on hers, 40 on mine.

What am I talking about? Cans for Comments. And six times 120 is a big 720 cans donated.

That is 360 cans of food will be donated to Texas food banks and 360 cans of food will be donated to Florida food banks because of a combined effort of bloggers and non-bloggers. That can donation numbers does not count the many that will be donated by the group of photographers in Vancouver that started this whole thing, or the others who copied the idea like Shelly and I did.

I wrote more here (did you doubt it?) and as once her server comes back up I will get more links to add. Photos and information on which food bank will follow next week!

The day seems brighter in spite of the overcast skies. And we want to do it again this summer, I better save my money and find some backers!

Moss Gathered – Cans For Comments

Friday 5, Make the world better, Poetry | Posted by MeeAugraphie
Dec 11 2008

Michelle at Poefusion has given five words for us to use in her Friday Five post: blemish – eject – flinch – pout – dot

I normally refuse to do them until Friday morning, but I am hoping you will see it before Friday night and read and react to my request below my poem. I ask that Michelle, you, indulge me in asking in my Friday Five post.

Moss Gathered

It was a mere blemish
in the scheme of things,
worthy only of a pout that day

It was but a single dot
in the pixel landscape of love

yet his flinch
when she hit the ‘eject’ button
prematurely

magnified in hindsight
multiplied in like
smothered in spotlight.

Please, if you have a moment today or Friday (the 12th), click below to leave a quick comment, Leon and I will donate a can of food to our local food bank in South Florida, matched by Shelly of This Eclectic Life, to hers in Texas. This donation is on top of what we give normally. If you also click through from there to leave a comment on Shelly’s blog, Leon and I are matching comments on her blog. Our son and daughter-in-law are donating cans based on comments on both my blog – and Shelly’s. Don’t let any of us get off easy!

Please note, this was not our brilliant idea, but that of a group of photographers in Vancouver. Shelly has links to them, should you choose to have them donate more as well!
