A new challenge

[Lauren Hynde]

I'm an Aries, but, seeing Jim beat me to it, I'll have Virgo. Because, well, I've been having one for almost two years.

That's great Lauren. I'll add you right now. BTW that AV makes me think of the Avian 'flu that's in the news. One of the symptoms is conjunctivitis.


If Eve is serious about the goat all we need now is someone to grab the Scorpion and we can get going.

As long as you include your chosen sign in the title anything goes.

The assembled poems will then be posted as a group under the authorship of The Poets.

Ah! Good point. Lauren. Here and then post as a group when we're complete. I'll go edit the rules post.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Goody. And my conjunctivitis should be under control very shortly. Thanks for caring.

The film festival ends in less than a week.

 

[Icingsugar]

Looks like I swooped by too late. It will be a treat to just read this time.

 

[Angeline]

I'm still trying to figure out a) how Lin is on the cusp of Gemini and Pisces and B) Lauren gets to be a virgin.....but maybe it doesn't matter...

 

[HomerPindar]

Actually, Ang, I think Lauren said she was HAVING one for two years....

which must be doing hell for the virgin population in Portugal. Course, she didn't say how often...

(I probably should go back to lurking at this point, just to be safe )

HomerPindar

 

[HomerPindar]

On a more serious note, should we post our work here as we go? Do we want to edit it so that it flows together, or are we going to be happy with whatever transitions the changing signs deliver us? And do you want fries with that? (sorry, practice for my post graduate years)

a) She's a gemini, I'm a pisces, our geminis will be pisces. Got it?

b) She's having one. And she didn't bring enough for the rest of the class. Bad Lauren.

Homer - we'll post in this thread and then - en masse - in New Poems. I will have to look to the wise ones (see list of The Poets) for guidance in how that's done being a mere Poet Wannabe.

The date for posting in here is March 5th..

 

[The_Fool]

Damn. Missed the Zodiacally thing. Oh well, when we get to the Tarot, I am Set!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I think the idea, and correct me if I'm wrong, Tess, is to have a collection of individual poems, without any concern of how well they 'flow' together, as in 1 Image 7 Voices.

The poems should be posted here, in this thread, on the 5th, and not before, and then I will submit them together as The Poets.

If anyone wants or needs to workshop the poem, you can post it before the deadline and ask for feedback or help, of course.

And Tess, we'll need a title for the collection, and it is your idea, so... start thinking about that.

That was my idea, Lauren, yes. Just individual takes on each sign.

I'd like to know how The Poets worked on the efforts that are not several individual poems but one collaborate effort. PMs?

I will press my fist to me forehead and think of a title.

Usually, one stanza per poet, and after it's done there is a small workshop period to make sure the poem flows well as seamlessly as possible. The person who posted the first stanza, the one who originated it all, has the final editorial word.

Go browse The Poets' Collaboration Thread for a bit and you'll see.

 

[Guest]

Danke.

 

[WickedEve]

Yes, T, I'm serious about the goat! lol
Shouldn't I stick this? I think I should. I'm trembling with excitement.

 

[Guest]

A sticky? I'm stunned! Why? Not that I'm not thrilled or anything.....
