For the last time, thanks a bunch to Jennifer for inviting me to do this. I had so much fun with this challenge…and this last day of it, with something written while shrouded in alcohol fumes was the funnest of the lot. What do you mean funnest isn’t a word?? It is now!
Today, I went with Oscar Wilde again – not imaginative I know – but this is my favourite quote of all time. In fact, this quote has been my Facebook cover on and off over the years. But I’m going to stop rambling and get on with it. So, without further ado…
The poem: Secret Stars
Ghastly humanity haunting gutters
snivelling snakes bearing sordid scars
fetid fangs seeking filthy sewers
so few see the sky-soaring secret stars
My nominees for Day 2 are:

As usual, I must reiterate that there are no obligations to do this – you guys can take it or leave it of course 🙂
The rules for this challenge are:
- Each day for three consecutive days post a quote (any quote – you can even come up with your own) and a poem to accompany it.
- On each day nominate 3 bloggers for the challenge.
- Don’t forget to thank the blogger who nominated you

Another of my favourites, smiles. If I could have a drink with someone famous, Wilde would be in my top ten!

Oh gosh yes, definitely in the top ten. Can you imagine the kind of wit thrown about if you were having a drink with Mr Wilde? *shivers*
