[Ethril the Dragon Mother]

Shanra the Dragon Bard

I got home to find out one of our dogs was stung by bees today on their walk in the park. Hubby doesn't seem to be too worried about her, but she just keeps pacing back and forth. I'm going to keep an eye on her though, in case she has an allergic reaction. I'm going to go relax and watch some Game of Thrones.

oh no! poor puppy! Yes do keep an eye on your puppy, it's always worrisome when dogs get hurt since they can't actually tell us how they're feeling.

GO enjoy your game of thrones!

Welcome back Ethril. Good to see you as well Shanra. It's been far too long. Ethril I sent Shanra the information on my current situation so she will be able to tell you and if it is acceptable I would love to still be part of the guild.

Thanks,

Vince

I'd love it if you stayed with the guild Vincent. You're actually one of the members that I remember from those early years so it'll be nice to be able to catch up with you again..

I shall bumpith the recruitment thread!

Vince is serving overseas currently Ethril, but I told him no worries. Said if he felt up to moderating one of the forums, he could let you know which one. We watched 6 episodes of GoT's. Now I'm exhausted, and will be heading to bed very soon. We have church in the morning, and then after lunch, we're going to some Christian outing somewhere with some friends. Don't know how long we'll be gone, but I'll check in when we get home.

I don't know why, but I never received the guild announcement notification. I tried to send one out myself the other day, when I got done cleaning out the members list, but it kept telling me we didn't have enough gold. I know we did, but oh well. You got it to work, so that's what matters. I'm just wondering how many others didn't get it in their notices.

Once again we find something that Gaia neglects to fix then. Seriously they need to stop spending so much development time on Premium stuff and update their free services.

Now scooch off to bed missy. Get some sleep.

If Vince wants to moderate then that's fine with me! Just as long as he doesn't stress himself!

Giveaway 1

For the first Giveaway we're going to have a poetry bumping game. This happens to be based off of a very popular Poetry game we have in the guild!

Here's how it works: The game will start when Shanra the Dragon Bard, that's me, posts 5 random words. You will then post a "bump!" and a poem using at least 3 of the 5 words. You will then come up with 5 words of your own for someone else to use.

Anyone can use the first 5 words that I post for their first bump. After that you have to use 5 words that someone else posts for your next bump. You then have to use a new set of 5 words for your 3rd bump. etc etc.

You can not use your own 5 words.

Seeing as how (hopefully) lots of people will be bumping it is acceptable for people to use the same 5 word sets.

Every time you bump make sure you number it in some way (bump 1, bump 2, bump 3). The first person to 50 bumps gets the giveaway prize!

If you want to participate, but not win anything that's fine! Just don't keep track of your bumps.

And what is the prize for this Poem bumping giveaway?
Blood Drop Brooch

First 5 words: writer/story/famous/quill/ink

[Ethril the Dragon Mother]

Yay the first 5 words are up! I think I'll take a stab at it! Remember anyone can use the first five words for their first bump!

First 5 words: writer/story/famous/quill/ink

A young writer
Dips into ink
A story to write
Ideas to link

The mind builds
A world is born
Characters thrive
The plot is torn

The ending arrives
A final word; stated
The quill goes down
The writer; elated

My 5 words:
Seed, Tree, Death, Master, Silence - Remember you only have to use 3

[Shanra the Dragon Bard]

Seed, Tree, Death, Master, Silence

There in the garden
A beautiful tree.
Fruit for the taking,
But take it, should she?

In silence she pondered
While death laid in wait.
Just one bite she took
And sealed her fate.

5 new words: clue, mystery, pencil, shelf, murder

[P a r a d i s e Garden]

clue, mystery, pencil, shelf, murder

Every book upon the shelf
Died gently in the blaze
They didn't bleed but they felt
When the pencil had his epiphany
And the children cried for days
But murder was no mystery


Five new words: Beguiled, blood, oak, broken, time

[Ethril the Dragon Mother]

Beguiled, blood, oak, broken, time

Oh wise Oak
Who has beguiled time
Tell us truths
Reveal the secret crime

Death is here
Yet only you have seen
Punish evil
Avenge the broken teen

New 5 words: Song, break, fall, stand, heart

[P a r a d i s e Garden]

Song, break, fall, stand, heart

The branches break
But the tree refuses to fall
Its own limbs it would forsake
If only to heed the call
Of its wildly rooted heart
Wishing no longer to stand
But to embark
To sail away from the land
And make a new start

Five new words: hold, grand, pilfered, apostasy, reign

[Shanra the Dragon Bard]

hold, grand, pilfered, apostasy, reign

Standing on a barren cliff
Banished from his masters Hold.
He knew not what he would do
Left out in the snow and cold.

For the crime he had to pay
Judgement placed upon his head
Exiled to the frosty North
For the pilfered loaf of bread.

To the Black Keep he would go
There upon the Wall to stand.
Hoped he soon to acquire
Fame, fortune and glory grand.

Five new words: loan/tavern/bard/song/rain
