Wicked Word Wednesday had a slightly better week last week with a total of three participants and a fair number of views. Now, if only those lurking in the shadows would come out and play. Honestly, we don’t bite!

“Enough!” I hear you cry, “We want to know who won!”

Very well; the winner this week is . . . another tie, this time between

She smiled and dreamed of jumping on top of her desk, hoisting the black flag and slitting a few throats.

Yo-ho-ho.

I’m sorry, Ms. Brodsky, even if it is casual Friday, the parrot stays home.

The Jolly Roger rippled in the wind as the ship came about, her buccaneer captain at the wheel. The pirate crew held fast awaiting orders, ready to board the British supply ship crippled by their cannons’ fire.

With an Honorable Mention to

Shattenengel

On the ocean…
No rules,
No justice.

On the ship…
Just freedom,
Just life.

Living life like
Wild winds,
Untamed tides.

Be a buccaneer!

Congratulations to this week’s winners (don’t forget your badges!) and tune in Wednesday for another Wicked Word!

Participation and voting has been falling off slightly since the first Wicked Word Wednesday.

Perhaps I need to publicize it more?

I know the page is getting views, any suggestions on increasing actual interactions?

“Enough!” I hear you cry, “We want to know who won!”

Very well; the winner this week is . . . a tie between

kakingsbury

Byron said it best . . . “cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold . . . that host on the morrow lay withered and strown . . . lances unlifted, trumpet unblown. . . widows of Ashur – loud in their wail, idols are broke in the temple of Baal.”

The captivating Contessa caused a combination of calamities by colliding with the crooked constable’s critically ill Clydesdale and confounding the Count’s conniving cohort – quite a conundrum!

With an Honorable Mention to

whiterose52

We are the lost legion,
Woodstock’s kid sister,
Gen X’s maiden aunt
with mentholyptus breath
And slow ass dial up.
Always running to catch up.
The forgotten cohort.
‘hey guys, wait up!’
We sing out.
“You don’t understand”
the kids respond.

A Reminder: Changes Since the First Event

The very first Wicked Word Wednesday went swimmingly but some things needed ironing out.

If you participated in the first event, please note:

You must leave your entry in the comment section of this post.

Pingbacks cannot be accepted since it’s not possible to “like” pingbacks.

In fact, I’ve disabled pingback notifications.

Feel free to post your entry on your own blog!

If you decide to promote Wicked Word Wednesday on your own site, please link back to the current event.

Some interested participants missed out; let’s avoid tragic misunderstandings!

Since photographs cannot be embedded in the comments section of WordPress.com hosted sites, photography is no longer an entry option.

I apologize for any inconvenience.

This week had a clear winner.

With a win margin of five votes, the victor of Wicked Word Wednesday Week Three is:

Dr Meg Sorick

“You’re too sedentary,” she said.
“I can’t help it. I’m a rock,” he replied.
“That’s sedimentary, you idiot!”

Thanks to all who participated, but given the lack of voting this week – does anyone know what may have happened? – there’d be too many “ties” to award other places.

Meg, go ahead and claim your badge!
