The Friday Poegle Contest

Dear Poeglers,
Happy Halloween. So concludes our first week of poegling, and yet it is a truism that the journey of a thousand miles begins with but a single step. Congratulations to everyone on their excellent submissions this week, but congratulations especially to Liz in Pennsylvania, who is this week’s winner of a plastic segmented jump rope for her superb poegle, The Couples Therapist & The Economists: Extreme Volatility. An honorable mention and general well wishes also go to Jamey H. in New York for his own fine poegle, Economic Crisis. You can read both Liz and Jamey’s poegles at the current submissions page.
We’d also like to thank Polly in VA for an extremely nice expression of the Poegle form in her submission, Dolce Far’Neinte, and we were very pleased with Jon F’s creepy Halloween poegle, There Was No Guesswork.
The theme for this week’s poegle contest is “The Election.” Poeglers are invited to submit poegles based on search phrases associated with this theme. Some examples of phrases that could produce interesting poegles are “before the polls closed,” “the volunteer told me,” and “team of mavericks.”
New to Poegles? You might be wondering What is a Poegle? You can also review this helpful guide on How to Make a Poegle.
Please send your finished poegles to editor@poegles.com. Be sure to include your name, the search phrase you used to generate the poegle, and a word about yourself. A winner will be named next Friday, when the next contest is announced.
All winners receive a plastic segmented jump rope. Read our terms.
Poeglers, as we take up the mantle of the weekly poegle contest anew, let us above all be sure that we put our country first and generate the kind of change that we can believe in.
And congratulations again to this week’s winners!
Yours,
The Editors
