Truth is Stranger than Fiction

There are also quite a few other possible interpretations of "Shadow Theat(re/er)". I have found one (in short form).

And the Shadow Theater Play that I am dying to see is described below.


Lincoln Sees His Shadow and Falls in Love - a shadow puppet play that combines all February holidays, narrated by George Washington's wooden teeth.


No. I did not make that up. Here is the link.

Bizzarro Shadow Theater Play

The yahoo link to the Bizarro play seems to be broken. I can't tell you how upset that makes me.

I was going to apply for an NEA grant to stage that.

I am DEFINITELY not a poet, but will give it a shot. If nothing else, it should be good for the entertainment value of poor writing...I am more of a prose writer and poem reader. (My view on Shadow Theatre may be a bit different.) Thanks--AA

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Different views are all we're interested. Glad you're gonna join in.

 

[Angeline]

You Go AA!

I think Cordie is right! Looking forward to your poem and glad you're here buddy.

The time is nigh. Is everyone writing a Shadow Theat[re/er] poem?


which reminds me of something I ought to be doing...

 

[alwaysawake]

I submitted mine...hope I did it correctly--thanks to my 'editor' for the help once I had the basic down! AA

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Oooops! I think it may have been too soon, AA...

Story of my life...that's what I get for driving 502 miles for 11 hours to get home....my mind is gone and I messed up! AA

 

[Lauren Hynde]

LOL

Don't worry about it. If it get's posted too soon, I promise I won't look until the right time comes.

Well, I think that any submission entered two or three hours from now will be safe.

I have a very good feeling about this title. Lots of exceptionally good poems on the way, I'm sure

I always thought wood was very reliable under pressure

What, you didn't write the damned thing yet? Hehehe

 

[Cordelia]

Consider yourself pressure-treated now, OT.

Being pressure treated between those two ladies would be indeed heavenly!

You want wood, huh? I'll be in chat shortly with a Louisville Slugger just for you.

Yeah, you really 'cracked' up when I sat in your lap and broke both your legs...LOL G'nite and looking forward to seeing the poems...AA

 

[Lauren Hynde]

The good news is no Shadow Theat[re/er] poem was submitted too soon, apparently. Those of you who have it ready, do it now, don't leave it 'till the last minute...

Thanks for the reminder...
Mine is in, hopefully in time.
