I accepted a writing challenge:
Set a timer for ten minutes. Open a new post. Start the timer, and start writing. When the timer goes off, publish. Time to loosen up and have some fun, fun with words
SO…How about a 1970’S type of STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS with a pinch of the poetic style of e.e. cummings? Now I am dating myself because this poet was the unorthodox poet of choice in highschool during the ’70’s. So it shall be a stream of consciousness with little punctuation or structure for 10 minutes, perfect vehicle to talk about infants because they have no frame of reference as they experience life for the first time.
newborn
people
albeit tiny people
not dolls
Not reflections of our
own egos
not unformed personalities
to fulfil our unfulfilled dreams and ambitions.
but fully human beings.
babies,
each unique.
with definite personalities and characters.
proof?
just look back once they have grown
and discover the seeds of the man
within the toddler.
Such a mystery and a delight
to discern each individual personality
to encourage
to watch
as each babe grows
into a fully realized
adult who reflects the child within
BEEEEP. STOP.
I agree, babies are born with personalities, that just get stronger and clearer when they start to talk and argue.

Yes, SoundEagle agrees with you, Brenda, and has just informed Melanie about the latest post at http://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2013/09/25/marble-as-decorative-collectable-art-glass-toy-and-computer-game/rewarded so that she can totally reward herself (and the child within her) by playing marbles on two lovely computer games in that very post!
Even her grandchildren would love those two games!

That post is much more than just famous quotes etc., because it presents blogging or writing challenge in which anyone can participate, and even claim the reward batch and display it on their website, once their post (composed specifically for that writing challenge) has been highlighted and featured by SoundEagle.
