It’s Tuesday, and that means Colleen’s Tanka Challenge! Of course, just providing a couple of words would be far too simple, so we have twowords, yes, but we can’t use them! Only synonyms allowed!
And there are a few forms of poetry that we can use… Tanka, Senryu, Haibun, Haiku, Etheree… so, here goes!
The words we can’t use this week are:
So… here goes! A Reverse Etheree this week.
A huge amount of family and friends
Gathering together to rejoice
To appreciate each other
And all that life has given
Turkeys slowly roasting
The sides to die for
A meal for all
Thanksgiving
Sharing
Love
Ritu 2018
But I Smile Anyway...

Loved this Ritu!!! Perfect holiday to write about (isn’t this just a U.S. holiday?) So warm and wonderful!!! Such a delight to read!! Read Dorinda’s post on Colleen’s challenge and got inspired, though it’s not a etheree – RINGS AROUND THE SUN.
Hoping to post this tonight. Bravo, My Dear!

Thanks sis!
And I found the Quote block too which is great for quotes!!! But you can’t colour highlight them. Xx

Maybe that will come later. There is possibly some CSS code that will do that if you are on Premium. ❤

I’m on premium… But it doesn’t show anything else. Where did you find the copy post action? I’d like to try that next xx

Go to the post you want to copy. Click on a block. Then, go to the 3 little dots on the top menu (far right) Click copy content. I tried this and it didn’t keep the formatting. Instead, I used the shortcuts: command A, Command C, then Command V to paste the document into a new post. Using the shortcuts kept the formatting. Try it and see if it works for you. Command = control on PC’s. ❤

I’ve created loads of blocks that I use regularly, just have to remember to convert to regular every time I use them, so I can alter the text each week, without affecting other posts that use the same blocks!
