You mean they are already submitted? Yikes...

I think Anna wanted people to hold off submitting them 'till the next full moon Boo so you have time to work on it.

The man in the moon
plays tenor. Light beams.
Cool flowers fall
into ballads.

One gardenia
lands behind a Lady's ear,
tickles rhythm languid,
dragging Stardust
behind the beat, fine

and mellow,
that yellow light,
closed eyes, jazz
blooms at night,

thick and luscious,
lily sulty tones.
The moon escapes
from space, its empty home
through a golden length
of moan.

Wish on its song,
uncurl, spoon
into later bliss.
Kiss the night,
jazz moon,
soft flowered kiss.

You took almost 10 minutes to write that one. Whats the problem sweetness????:p
 
Fool is just upset 'cause he can't write a sestina or a villanelle for this one...:p ;)

I don't know exactly which date Boo. We will have to wait for Anna to answer that.
 
Well- at least he can write one! I cant do either!

But I have trouble with free verse too.

:mad:
 
I've already submitted mine.

Oh well, good excuse to bash out another ;)

Boo, quit wrecking my jokes!! *g*

You know, Boo, I think you could write whatever you wanted to and it would be unique and interesting to read. It's easy to compare your writing to others, but it does your own vision and skill an injustice. You know from the response you have had to writing in the past that people want to read what you have to say, in the way that you say it.:rose: :heart: There ya go...moral support from a cat dressed like an otter.;)
 
Oooh!! TY, Cat! That was nice to hear. But I have several entries here that have never even gotten a nudge- so not everything I write is readable! lol

But yes... I do have some folks who like my stuff, and that makes me feel good. So I'm back at it... again!

PS I think a cat that looks like an otter is a very cool thing!
 
Hi everyone, not done one of these before.
I saw a piece by Doormouse, and decided to give it a go.
My entry ...............


Reap as ye sow

Approaching my autumn,
Reflections on my spring and summer
Wash over me,
leaving me in the golden glow
of a Harvest Moon.

Reap as ye sow, the elders tell
And as I look, I see
The tall, strong, full grown stalks of my sowing,
My children, my sons,
My corn, my harvest.


Matriarch
 
Love it Matriarch!!

I knew you'd do a fantastic job since discovering some of your other stuff!!

:rose:

If they are like your Imhumanity poem Boo, they will rock our worlds.;)



Is it just me or does the title of this thread make any one else think that Anna wants us all to drop trou?

this is so cool. I love the cosmic trickster

that could have been your poem

I would take out the comma in line 4 and pull straight from the last line up one line which breaks the common saying apart, making it more surprising.

maybe like this
"but reality is straight
as the crow flies."

But then again, I really do not know anything about poetry :)

love it, it is classically T.

I'm going to rework it

and that is a good idea for the last line....

clasically T?
hmmmmmm
is that good or am I predictable??

full moon spotlight
haunted blue
same color as cigarette smoke
and the nightwind is hoarse
baritone sax

snapping finger cricket calls
encore encore
and that patch of silver moon grass
calls....
" barefoot dance time"

something primitive about dancing
under the spell of plaintive dust orb
with breeze blown leaf brush hiss
and peeperfrog horns
badum-Pa badum- Pa
snap snap snap

show me the way Mr Moonlight
one eye closed
squinting to see
us dancing in the garden
fantabulous

A constant wink for billions, but I claim it momentarily.

I love this idea
my suggestion, shorten the poem and stick with this theme, it holds the most promise (in my humble opinion)
