hiding inside the seams I push the frayed edges of life’s fabric but can’t seem to break through some days Monotony is my middle name yet I dream of sewing myself up to be a pillow for your head is what I’d like for you to read me your private poetry seamlessly mending torn pieces of me *** From a 2004 poet Wranx challenge to blend two Pips artists styles and create a 'masquerade' write. Sneaky me, I did blend three. Who can they be? (hint  nly one still posts here regularly)This is still one of my favorite challenge writes! |

Exquisite poem - monotony and you just don't seem to go together, though! Is Greeneyes one of them? Owl |

I'll give it a guess. Um, I'm guessing Bri, Cpat, and Wranx himself? That was a fun and tricky challenge, and it produced some great poems, *ahem*, like this one!  |

for me, the beginning and end of this 'write' are most especially fine: "hiding inside the seams I push the frayed edges of life’s fabric but can’t seem to break through... ... read me your private poetry seamlessly mending torn pieces of me" serious applause for this 'penning' ! |

I like the way you wrote this. But, you sure have me stumped. |

That sounds like such a fun challenge and I agree with Serenity when she says that it produced god poems, because heck, I would think so, Heh, loved this.  ARCTIC WIND |

My guess is that Serenity Blaze or secondhandpoet or Icebox is the one who still posts here. Love the poem, but I was knocked sideways at "monotony is my middle name" - just didn't sound like you at all - but the masquerade explains that! Owl |

It was none other than our Serenity. The other two were Brian and Cpathair. Ladies, thanks for the visit! |

Oh goodie! I got one right. I don't know the other two, so I couldn't have guessed them! Owl |

You've captured the combination beautifully Midnitesun. This masquerade gave just a glimpse of each, and perfectly so. Nicely done!  Best wishes, /Kit |

 (smiles) Oh my gosh, this DOES sound so much like our dearest blaze of serenity, Cpat and Brian! (mouth agape in astonishment) You truly did their unique writing styles justice, and gracefully at that! (huggies) I for one think it's fun to regularly vacillate between styles like an ethereal chameleon of sorts, as I think many like you who have followed me these last nine years here have seen many evolutions I've undergone, LOL, and you are most adept at that as well! Bless you, my friend, you are a walking Mardi Gras costume ball, LOL, thanks for masquerading!
