The Productivity Tiaras went to Sarah and Joselyn for having written screenplays as part of ScriptFrenzy in the month of April. (Matt also wrote a screenplay for Screnzy, but since he attended virtually, he did not get a tiara, a fact I'm sure makes him very sad.)
Last but not least, below are the entries for last night's Haiku Havoc and Metaphor Melee games! use the poll in the sidebar to vote for your favorite. The winner for each will receive a prize at next month's write-in.
If you're interested in joining the Greater Lee's Summit Writing Group, we meet at 6 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month at Doozen's in (you guessed it) Lee's Summit. You can also find our group on facebook.
Metaphor Melee: Satisfaction
Matt Marko: Satisfaction is a song you haven't heard in years when you remember all the words.
Danielle Burgess: Satisfaction is standing on the finish line and remembering the journey there.
Brittany Froeschle: Satisfaction is a mug of hot chocolate and a good book.
Sarah Hurst: Satisfaction is a lightning bug: more beautiful during pursuit than in captivity.
Joselyn Martin: Satisfaction is that feeling you get when you stand in front of an ATM that you haven't used in a long time and you think to yourself "man, what is my pin number," and you try the number you think it is, but it doesn't work, and right as you're thinking "dang it, that was my last try," the machine asks how much you'd like to withdraw.
Haiku Havoc

faint light from a screen
rhythmic tapping in the night
a cold empty bed

Giant beard -- wait, that's not you
It was a grandpa
