Welcome back.

The blog tour rolls on, and today I will be visiting Tales I Tell, where Mabel has cleverly interested me IN verse about verse.

If you’ve not been following the tour, it’s not too late to go back and see what I’ve been doing:

May 1 Spinning Pearls , where I am guest blogging about how I came to write Pearl Verses the World
May 2 The Writing Life , where I answer Brenton’s questions
May 3
Tips for Young Writers , where I am answering Dee’s questions and sharing a poetry writing exercise.
May 4 Persnickety Snark where Adele reviews pearl, and asks me some tricky questions.
May 5 Let’s Have Words where I chat with Claire about promotion
May 6 Just listen Book Reviews , where Allie reviews Pearl
May 7 Look at That Book where Lisa reviews Pearl
May 8 Write and Read With Dale where Dale reviews Pearl
May 9 Tales I Tell , where Mabel has challenged me to answer her questions in verse.
May 10 Robyn Opie’s Writing Children’s Books , where I am guest blogging about getting published.

Still here? Good, because before you go I want to share with you the results of yesterday’s verse-off challenge. I had less entries this time, perhaps because of it being a weekday.

But, Jackie popped in and submitted this one:

Puppy says…
How now
Brown cow
Cow says…
Moo

And Kathryn Apel (my co-conspirator) says:

Warm

brown contrast
with crisp
black and
white on

canvas

And her gorgeous son Branyon Apel says:

Dog stands on calf
other calf sniffs
friends.

The Verse Off will be back to its usual scheduling tomorrow, so come back and see the new prompt – and have a go for yourself.
