I love yours Jan. Congrats on your HM. Wish more could have received a number in this contest. I am wondering if Andrea entered one? She is the footles queen.: )

Jan Allison
Date: 11/2/2017 2:34:00 AM

I don't think Andrea placed and the winner's list was short but the sponsor was only showing 1 2 3 places. I've now posted a string of footles based on this idea:-:-) hugs jan xx

Very witty footle, Jan! If pill is not taken by the wise; Could be an unsuspected surprise!!!! I expect to see it as the winner - good luck. Thx for taking time to read the Shotgun Wedding thing. Sounded like Miss Wild forgot to take the pill, eh!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/30/2017 6:50:00 PM

I really enjoyed your poems and I found it so difficult to restrict myself to one footle as I LOVE writing them and a string of poems usually flows from my pen... I may continue this theme with a few more poems!:-) hugs jan xx

good one, Jan. I got an oldie in for this one!

Jan Allison
Date: 10/30/2017 12:39:00 PM

Andrea Dietrich

Date: 10/29/2017 6:37:00 PM

by the way, what ever happened with your collaboration contest?? Did it get judged??

Jan Allison
Date: 10/30/2017 12:38:00 PM

No contest is still pending:-( hugs jan xx

Kevin Shaw

Date: 10/29/2017 5:59:00 PM

Hi Jan, Your humour comes out in the title and two word pun. I must admit though I am at a loss to see how 4 syllables can constitute a poem. Good luck with your entry, regards Kevin xx

Jan Allison
Date: 10/29/2017 6:04:00 PM

Footles were invented by PS poet Brian Strand - 2 lines and 2 syllables that rhyme. Judy is asking for just one but I have written strings of them that build into a fun story - do give it a try they are addictive mind!:-) hugs Jan xx
