It wasn't in your list, but seemed to be a bit of what you were asking for. It's a form I've done a lot. I'm not sure I put up my best one - I did revise this one a bit for this - but I think the others have been more seen. Thanks much. k.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-35849896655106167872012-05-10T00:18:34.901-05:002012-05-10T00:18:34.901-05:00Grace, thank you fore all the work you have done.Grace, thank you fore all the work you have done.Susie Clevengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239990133754328967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-19083738755699905832012-05-09T21:34:51.112-05:002012-05-09T21:34:51.112-05:00I've enjoyed your form challenges so much Grac...I've enjoyed your form challenges so much Grace, but I understand!

I've learned so much from your format challenges! Many of the forms you listed predate my participation here, so I'm really looking forward to learning much more :) Have to say I agree with you on villanelles, every attempt I've made in that particular form has ended with me beating my head against the desk!Mary B.

She really helped to launch this site last year and I so appreciate the high standard she set for her form challenges, and the amount of work that went into researching each post.<br />I'm certain that many will miss this monthly challenge.Kerry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00720862912375945249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-62443176582380029732012-05-09T01:22:55.437-05:002012-05-09T01:22:55.437-05:00This is so beautiful, Grace, I can't imagine p...This is so beautiful, Grace, I can't imagine posting something of mine alongside this one of yours. Fortunately, I won't have to, because, as I've already mentioned to the Toads, we're renovating here. I might not have mentioned I'm leaving town for one week of the renovation period, during which I want my husband to get some painting done. Tomorrow I'll fill and sand some of the more blatant holes, and hope I can cover a multitude of sins with my "tin ceiling backsplash".<br />Wish me luck.<br />Back in a few weeks.<br />KKay L.
