Soaring On The Dogstar
Hello, my friends, it has been a little while since we have touched base with all of you beautiful people! I hope life has been treating you well! Thank you to everyone who has dropped a note and checked in throughout the few years we have been on hiatus! So much has happened as I am certain is the case,with all of you! Life has certainly been shifting or rocking and rolling as I like to say!
Speaking of rocking and rolling, how many of you have gotten out to see Rob, Bret and Keanu, Dogstar!? Woohoo! I am enjoying reading all the fan’s experience about it, on some of the Sui Generis groups and pages. A-Mazing! I am blown away to see that so many have gotten the opportunity to check them out!
In celebration of all of that exciting news and keeping with the life and times of Keanu we are going to open a brand new poetry round!!
As usual and in case we need a refresher course. Here are some important instructions and rules to the poetry round. I love to catch the structure when the fans incorporate them into their poetry. However as long as the challenge words are included in your poems we will add them to the poetry album on Facebook!
All poetry can be sent through messenger at To Keanu With Love, or if you are on my profile go ahead and message the poetry to my Piper Ellie profile. Moderators will be on the look out for your poems. We will look them over and even work with you if you need a little bit of help or more inspiration! Find the rules and structure below!
Let’s create some art and share! Happy writing!
