Good afternoon, LifeLessons readers, OkcForgottenMan here again. Judy is in the seventh – and final – day of her writers retreat, and I’m still here reblogging some of her older poems. It’s a fun gig for me as I stroll back through her blog archive, wondering which to select. I’ve done this before, and I’m looking at her posts from 2016 this go-around.

My first selection today (I hope to post more) is “Jake“, wherein she takes words rhyming with “Jake” to a whole new level. I hope y’all enjoy as much as I did when I first read it, and when I did again, just now.

My final pick for today is a fun read (well, to me). It’s a response Judy wrote to a NaPoWriMo prompt. Just the title and accompanying photo should be enough to give you a smile and a reason to click on it. The title? “The Gawkey and Flaybottomist—Who Should Have Stopped When First They Kissed” Have I got you hooked yet? Bet I do!

My second selection today (one more later) is a real change of pace. It’s “Thirteen Unfortunate Fortune Cookie Fortunes“, which Judy wrote to a NaPoWriMo prompt. I sure hope y’all are curious enough to click. Methinks you won’t be disappointed!
