Tuesday morning, March 4: The challenge is over! Forum guest, Buddy, connected the final dot (put in the final letter) and won! The word was gratefully. Congratulations, Buddy! Thanks to everyone who played the game, especially new forum member Mary, who was SO close...I'm very grateful! 
OK, I've written a poem, complete here except for the last word. All you have to do to play this game is to guess what the last word is. One word, that's all you need to post. Come on, everybody. If anyone is able to guess the correct last word, they will receive some sort of prize from me. (It will probably consist of words)
On the sort of day when one thinks about
hot chocolate with lots of marshmallows
held between both hands,
I watch the brave little sparrows and wrens,
with neither hot chocolate nor hands
stopping at the bird feeders
gratefully.

Well then I'll go with a dreary word: dying

Aww, Sopphey, you look so cute. Much cuter that that egg-head looking generic icon! You have my condolences, however, since "dying" isn't the word. It does somewhat fit with the dismal winter weather, though. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again...

Is it hoping?

Hi Daphne! Nope, it's not hoping, but that's a nice sentiment. |

Hiya Mary and welcome to the forum. It's always good to see new people here. I'm sorry that "content" isn't the word. Try again?

Sorry, Mary, neither one is right but you get an A for effort! You also get another "a", it's a clue and it stands for adverb.

Hiya Buddy (nice color!) and Mary. Well, Buddy you got four letters right and Mary, you got six right on your first adverb post and four right on your second! I'm confident it won't be long until someone figures this out. This is more fun than I'd imagined it would be. Thanks so much for participating.

Mary, you're getting very close here. You once again have four letters right.
OK, here's another clue: my word has ten letters and your first, ninth and tenth letters are correct.
