A new challenge

[Guest]

Thank you jim. You've seen the sum of my "talents" - I'm a lousy cook and can't knit or ride a horse.

 

[The Poets]

Wicked Absence

Where - oh where is Wicked Eve
Did she just decide to leave?
Capricorn is waiting yet
But did Eve just forget?

The Poets all want to know
Where - oh where did sweet Eve go?

I just got a goat-o-gram
it seems Eve ate a bad tin can
and will return anon with poem
and then our erm bleat will be complete

[Ok so I don't know what sound a goat makes. Maaa? Is that it? Shoot the only goats on the Lower East Side are sitting around playing checkers and bitching. I think I saw a real one at the Bronx Zoo once. Whatever. She'll be back soon.]


Ange & Ange, (but my moon is in Capricorn)

Poor Eve - erm, goat - hope she improves.
and scampers in on cloven hooves.
I felt something had gone amiss
that she kept quiet as long like this.
Wish her well when next you send
a Zodiagram to our dear friend.


Thanks Ange and Ange. Oh, and stop mooning Eve, she'll be back as soon as she can

Hi Scott and welcome back to the poetry board. Feel free to write whatever you wish, though you may want to check out the forum guidelines we've posted since you were last here.

Peeling off.............

Sadly this challenge - stellar as it was - is now defunct. Thanks to all who wrote such wonderful poems. I would ask The Poets to un- stick this sticky, please.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Tough luck, Tess. It stays. Now, where is Eve's goat?

 

[Guest]

I think her goat ate her poem - they do eat anything so I hear.

And how am I to get out of this shell then?

Why the defunct status though? A missing poem (as good as Eve writes them) can be replaced.

Any goats out there?

*Sings The Lonely Goatherd complete with yodel*

 

[echoes_s]

baa baa mountain goat
have you any rocks?
oh no sir! nary one
they took em for the docks
blew them up and carted them
off towards the sea
look there, past the dust
a now mountain misery
sure footed I would prance for you
to bleat and munch on treats
now I stumble stuttering ground
dragging beard through rotted wheat
butting head into stump trunks
missing the avalanche
of roaring human voices peril
as rocks crumble their blessed ranch

bad bad mister man
step one more foot to me
hold out your hand to stroke my horn
see how fast I move my teeth
to crunch upon your silliness
that you destroyed my home
and thought to ask after the fact
You are lucky I dont chew bone
like those faithful things you call a pet
actually giving them a name
hear me bleat in laughte
Why little man, do you run in shame?

Seriously, this was a joke!

someone take the goat....
It cannot be worse than this

edit to say...I am really weird

I agree with Homer. There really is no need to let this challenge die gracefully. I wrote this to replace Angeline's Gemini poem, as if anything could.

I'm poking this monster in the ribs to see what life is left - if any. If it's dead then please pull your poems, they are - without exception - worth more than to be left languishing here. If there is still blood flowing should we give it CPR?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

All we need is a Capricorn poem, isn't it?

 

[Guest]

Yes. Any offers or shall we go with what we have?
