Description:

Read the following Poem: "October" by Jim Dunlap. You will come up with an idea for a swap gift from the poem and craft/purchase for your partner based on your idea. Ideally you use Word Association. Example: I have taken the first 2 lines of the poem:

"When the frigid fingers of Jack Frost Flash out to shrivel the cringing leaves..."

I could pick out the word: fingers. Then I could make a pair of knitted mittens or gloves. I could also pick out the word: Frost. I could then send my partner a Frosted/Etched Glass Mug. You get the idea.

Use Your Imagination and come up with some Awesome Swap Gifts!

Poem:

October by Jim Dunlap

"When the frigid fingers of Jack Frost Flash out to shrivel the cringing leaves … Swaying branches drip tears of scarlet, yellow, And flaming orange … Weeping forests wail silently With swaths of cascading foliage, Piling swiftly to mounds of disintegrating debris— Shuffling and whispering in gusting eddies of wind. Sometimes, like the ghost of summer-past Returning to the scene of its poignant demise, 'Indian Summer' unfurls in soft, peaceful days And warm, caressing breezes. Then autumn rushes back To reclaim its intrinsic birthright … Handmaiden to the coming Ice King."

This is a fantastic idea. I can't take part, unfortunately, because I'm currently in a big-package swap already, but I would love to take part in another swap like this--perhaps one in the winter? :)

Sounds Good! I look forward to seeing you in the next one!

This swap sounds so awesome. Alas, I, too am stuck with too many swaps for the moment. Please do again in later months.
