Trifecta: Week Thirty-Five Check In

Welcome back from the weekend, Trifectans!  We were happy to see so many of you commemorating the great leapers of the world.  Just a reminder for those who are new or those who missed the change in rules: you can only submit one response per challenge.  Give us your best!

First place from this weekend goes to Flipside Records for In '69.  We loved the musical tribute.

In ’69 

Led Zep comes out
with its first 

studio album; 

the Beatles do it
for the last time 

on stage; 

and you—
you take complete 

control, 

making music
on the face 

of the moon

Second place goes to Viv In France who paid tribute to farmers everywhere in her Applause.  Third place this weekend goes to The Papparaci for Base Jump.  Open to interpretation, this piece was simple but beautiful.

Congratulations to the winners from this weekend.  Thanks so much to everyone who linked up.  We appreciate your commitment to writing.

Just to remind you, our first lengthy Trifecta challenge closes this Thursday.  You have just a few more days to link up with a piece of writing, any style, any subject, that is between 333 and 3,333 words.  We can't wait to read your words.  Back to normal operating procedure next week.
