Crimson’s Creative Challenge
Primmy Primrose, prim and proper
Won’t look up till a new Spring calls her
Calls with balmy sun and melting snow
With whispered winds that gently blow
No torn leaves and tattered petals
For Primmy Primrose is too precious
Welcome to my weekly challenge—open to all—just for FUN, FUN, FUN
Here’s how it works:
Every Wednesday I post a photo (this week it’s that one above.)
You respond with something CREATIVE
Here are some suggestions:
You have plenty of scope and only two criteria:
If you post a link in the comments section of this post I’ll be able to find it
If you include Crimson’s Creative Challenge as a heading, WP Search will find it (theory)
by ‘Searching’ in the WP Reader (fingers crossed)
Here’s wishing you inspirational explosions. And FUN
Crispina Kemp, author of the five-book epic fantasy series, The Spinner’s Game, and the newly-released Learning to Fly (available 1st April 2021) is visiting Sammi Loves Books to answer a second set of Afternoon Tea Interview questions.

Afternoon Tea (II) with Crispina Kemp — Sammi Loves Books
It is, my dear, quite absurd
The uttermost garbage I’ve ever heard
Why, to think they call the penguin a bird
And more, they say, it’s a distant child
Of T.Rex’s cousin, in the wild
Imagine a petition filed
For paternity payment support
Imagine the court report
Ha! At length the pterosaur is caught…
Leaving our absurd little penguin
Decidedly sanguine
61 words written for Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt: Absurd
Lothingland is the ancient name for the North-East corner of Suffolk, and that’s where we’re heading as we catch the 8:00 am bus. We get off just past the James Paget Hospital
It was to be an adventure… so there has to be challenges
I could devote an entire post with photos from the wooded hill around the lakes… but time to move on
And after a while, it’s back to road-walking
And again off-road via farm-tracks and footpaths
And neither is it quite right. Our path peters out, delivering us into a ploughed field. Um. Lost. We should not have asked for an adventure
Hope you’ve enjoyed our walk. It was hot… one of those days that spring borrows off summer. Flowers? Oh, yes, I’ll post those photos on Tuesday
Loved this little post-box, almost hidden in the dusty leaves of a rampant ivy.

Book Review: Learning to Fly by Crispina Kemp — Sammi Loves Books
My many many thanks to Sammi. Such a glowing review. Big smiles to you
The Spinner’s Game Continues...
Medievalist Neve is delighted to find herself surrounded by swirling colours and foot-stomping music in Regin-jarl’s mead hall… even if her presence is dependent on the memories of a banished angel.
Prompted by the angel to find the truth of her grandfather, locked in a cage to be food for vampiric grimmen, trapped beneath a dragon… life isn’t fun for Neve… though she does like the music!
Available in paperback and e-book
When asked what plans she has for the future, author Crispina Kemp (me) said, “I’m working on the next book, Roots of Rookeri. A departure from The Spinner’s Game; a Shakespearean-style Comedy of Errors set far far away in a distant galaxy. I’m at the stage now where I need BETA READERS.”

“Come share a drink with me,” said he.
“I don’t mind if I do,” said me,
And followed him where he led me.
“Where go we?” said I.
“To a secret place, where no one might spy.”
I wondered why.
The reason soon was revealed,
As his disguise off he peeled.
I gasped in horror, “You’re the bad-bad Boggart Man!”
He laughed. “Gotcha! Catch as catch can.”
