I’m trying something new: every Friday I will do a post using word play. I love to have fun with words: whether writing a poem (I’m great at parties because I can do them on the spot; even in a song), or using alliteration–back from my days as a magazine editor, it worked wonders to use alliteration for cover lines.
Eventually, I plan to make this a linky (linking up to the posts of others who are also enjoying Fun With Words Friday).
Since I am participating in BlogHer’s NaBloPoMo for October, I’m writing about the theme for the month, masks.
Here it is: my first Fun with Words Friday Feature (see, there’s the alliteration again).
The Mask I Wear
If you look at me and the mask I wear
You wouldn’t think I had a care
But that’s not true, and you know why?
I worry day and night OH MY!
The lists I make, I check them twice
Appointments, deadlines…roll the dice
Must buy a gift, must send an email
Arrange family dentist visits without fail
I think about the things I do, and worry about what falls through
Are you like me? I think you might
So tell me how you make it right
So….how do you handle the stresses of constant to-do lists? Are you a worrier, like me? I want to know!!
Happy Fun with Words Friday!!

I wrote a little rhyme but have no idea how to link it up to you!
Josephine,
I may have a way for you to do it. I’ll let you know later today.
I like this – Fun with Word Friday. This week, I had my son issue me a guilt trip that showed me how pulled in many directions I’ve become. It is definitely time for some family time this weekend! I do worry. I make lists. I do all sorts of complicated calendars to keep up with everything. And then, sometimes, a hug will break me and put me back together again. I look forward to reading more Fun with words Fridays! Sign me up for the linky!
HI Liesl,
Thanks! I’m working on getting the linky. Need a wordpress plugin. What is your website?
Best,
Estelle
