Ooooo! This is the part of the Potluck where we dim the lights and tell scary stories!
Today we have not one, but two guest poets – Charles Ghigna and his lovely wife, Debra! I’ll admit that when I invited Charles, I didn’t realize Debra was also a poet. I must say, these two clearly know how to par-tay. Along with their poems and cookie recipe, they also brought their sleeping bags! I love guests who know how to make themselves at home. Now we can stay up all night and have a poetry slam. The attire of choice: silk pajamas, of course!
Both of these poems were inspired by the many sleepovers Charles and Debra’s now-grown son Chip enjoyed with his friends at their home in Alabama. Charles’ poem was published in Halloween Night: Twenty-One Spooktacular Poems (Running Press, 2006), and Debra’s poem appeared in Jack and Jill magazine. Slumber party guests were always treated to lots of popcorn and Ghost Bites. Who could ask for more?
SLEEP OVER
by Debra Ghigna
Last night all the lightning
and thunder was frightening.
And so I crawled under
your bed for a while,
beneath a big pile
of clothing and toys
(because of the noise).
So next time it’s stormy
and you’re looking for me,
don’t worry or wonder;
if I’m sleeping over
and it starts to thunder –
I’m sleeping under.

SLUMBER PARTY SURPRISE
by Charles Ghigna
We sat around the living room
And turned out every light,
Then started telling stories that
Would keep us up all night.

It's been a little while since my last quote of the week (and yes, I do know that it should be weekly to be thus called, but hey, I'm a writer, so am using cretaive license as my excuse). Anyway, without further ado, here is this week's writing quote, for all who struggle with whether or not they are 'real' writers: How do you know if you're a writer? Write something everyday for two weeks,
