Keeping things interesting in the quiet months of the winter isn’t always easy.
Along comes the Short Poems for a Short Month challenge to brighten things up!
Get writing, they said;
Anyone can do it!
What type of poetry is part of the challenge?
Only the short forms, please.
Nothing too long, but haikus, rhyming couplets, limericks, and even ACROSTICS will work.
Good, bad or otherwise, send it to Kagawong@live.ca and we’ll publish it!
Happy belated birthday to Susie D and Lisa L who both turned 29 in the last few days. And a very happy birthday to Jenna C who celebrates 29 years this very day! If you are thinking too much about how old you are now, stop! There’s nothing to stress about; vintage is in!
A very appreciative shout-out to the Hydro workers who headed out on Sunday to get the lights back on in the west end of the Island. Not what most of us would like to be doing on our weekend, but we’d be lost (in the dark) without you!
A reminder that the Municipal Office is closed to the public, and the staff are working remotely for the time being. Drop-offs of documents can be made using the after-hours slot on the employee entrance door. Call 282-2611 with any inquiries. The Kagawong Fitness Centre will be closed for the foreseeable future. The landfill remains open on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 2 pm to 6pm and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm. And finally, the library is open its regular hours, however there is a limit of 3 patrons at any given time.
Remember that agendas and minutes for the various township committee meetings can be found on the township website: http://billingstwp.ca
The library is looking for help keeping their front entrance snow-free. They are now hiring an individual to clear their front entrance, ramp, and book drop area prior to opening hours so that patrons can access the building safely. Pay rate is $15/day (max 3 days per week, as needed). Contact the library (billingslibrary@vianet.ca or 705-282-2944) for more information.
When they couldn’t come up with a haiku,
The KGB staged a July coup!
All summer they flapped,
And gobbled and yapped,
But they’re not nat’ral poets. Like you!
…so don’t forget to share your poetic talent and submit a verse! Have a great week!
