If you are here visiting from IWSG-see this post~
First off, I'd like to announce the winner of my Green Christmas giveaway!
Oh, my favorite coffee beverage, I have three: I love Iced coffee and I'm a cappuccino gal, but lately I have been having Cafe Americano. I would love to try, all of the ones you mentioned. Starbucks doesn't offer sugar free, for the holiday selections. I haven't tried them. I do love Oolong tea, the Joy blend is my favorite.
Now for poetic prompts, I will share the Garden prompt first. I thought of Charles Dickens, for both sites. He uses three methods in his writing: florid, poetic and comedy. I asked members to write a poem describing a house. Dickens is famous for describing his characters, by using their humble abodes. The poets were to describe a home of another poet and play guess who.
Poets time to guess WHO lives here???

I love those verses even though I haven't a clue who lives there. they do sound like places I'd want to visit, though.
Yeah, I am going to be elf like and leave a gift. ;D I agree-we so need to have a few of them!
I know they all sound like fun! We will have to invite them to the blog convention, lol~
I'll be by! I missed you! My fault-hives due toChristmas trolls and my hubby discovering my secret stash! I'm back to FROG duty....ick! lol
Thank you, maybe I will write a book of Homes-they tell the story, lol ;D
Yes, you can...enJOY, but guessing is fun and so what if you are wrong...guess again! lol
Lolamouse-I would love to visit all of the them, too! I'm not sure if I'm exactly right on their homes, but I visited their blogs and gathered some insight! ;D
They all are amazing and talented!!!
As for Starbucks, never get in line behind me because I insist that they recreate the holiday specials with an Americano using complicated mixes of sugar free syrups. I know! I'm dreadful! But I go in a lot so they put up with me.
Clever idea, Ellie.....a bit too clever for my old brain but will be fun seeing what everyone thinks.....
I'll take all three as food was involved.
#1 is not Margaret-I would have mentioned children.
#2 the hint is squeak, she paints and has 2 blogs!
#3 Her pet is a royal fav
lol ;D
Actually I visited more than one of the poets blogs and read interviews. I wanted to blur the lines and I guess I did. :D
Susie-No,but I can see how you came to that...lol
Sherry-maybe...lol I'll be back to answer
Wanda-Thank you! I know I want to visit all of them :D
Mama Zen-Sorry, no... ;D
Kerry-No... :D
Emma-Me, too! They all have hobbies I love~ :D
Stephen-I like the way you think.
;D I bet, it does! lol
Alex-Yes, I hear you~ Actually I run around the corner and get a wrap. The spinach ones are the best ;D
Angela-I know right-I want my house to smell like cookies. :D
Sherry-I blurred the details, so it would be harder to figure out~!
Mary Ann-I wish I had you for my teacher :D You have amazing ideas~ Thank you! I do think our surrounds reveal a lot! Thank you for sharing!!! @>--------
Johanna-Hey, the customer is always right, lol! Oh, do tell-I want to try your creative drink ;D
Yeah, my hubby n' daughter hate to order for me. I'm the one that always has to get coffee. lol
I like chatting in the coffee line. We would have fun~
K
Go look, tee,hee...
I will do this again ;D
so fun to fool you all!
Kay-No, Sherry tends a horse ;D
lol, so fun!
The second makes me think of Hannah.
No one came to mind when reading the third, but I only really know a few of the Toads. Your poems are all very good, Ella. I am really amazed that you were able to do this using such details; you must know these poets quite well. :)
