Full Moon Challenge

[jd4george]

Hopefully, no one should panic.

My recall of the rules, (found at the start of this thread), said it could be in the title or the body of the poem. Moonscars is the only reference in my poem's title... tHough I did post a note with the submission requesting that it be posted with the Moon Challenge Poems.

I say no one should panic, because I believe that folks will read through all the poems... at least those folks who love to read (and write) poetry.

Then again, I'm old enough to be given to bouts of dementia!

OH SHIT... MAYBE I SHOULD PANIC!

 

[*Catbabe*]

Mine was submitted, and is up ............I did not include the moon in the title. Was I supposed to? I thought the criteria was to include the moon in the text not the title..??????

'Reap as ye sow'

'Will try to do better, next time'.

If I want to change the title to 'Harvest Moon', will I have to re-submit, and lose the voting and comments already up?

If you want to edit a piece of writing that has been posted to lit already, re-submit the piece with the same title (if that is what you want) and write the words "edit" beside it. Laurel will replace the existing poem and delete the old one, but you will keep your comments and votes.

If you want to also change the title I would explain to Laurel in the notes field that this poem you are submitting is actually an edit and a title change. Make sure you tell her the title of the old poem you want this one to replace. She should be able to replace it without you losing any comments or votes.


Edits usually take longer to post btw.

more moonies

My apologies--

I knew there would be more, but circumstances arise, I was only now able to sift through and find the non-moony tiles.


I am so impressed. I think I want to print these out and think of something

I am sorry, the baqbysitter/respite care provider called to say oops cant make it so I was the one panicing. I had to get my ass off the chair and figure out what the hell I was going to do to get my kid cared for and myself to school for new parents meeting.



Sorry about that, it was not an intentional slip, I started off with the moon titled ones and was interrupted in the middle of my search for more.

Thanks for the patience-- sure y'all understand.

PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I MISSED ANYMORE-- I might not be able to read through myself until tonight. It is a crazy day (silly me I thought it would be good as first day of school, not knowing until recently that um the kids dont start really Really start until next week. I have to keep that in mind for next year

There are a few more, but they don't have "moon" in the title, sp they might be a bit hard to spot. When I'm done cooking dinner, I'll see which I can pinpoint. Unless someone else beats me to it.

 

[annaswirls]

I did it, just without the links--

Thanks if you want to do that, cool beans!

and Thanks Boo for getting the links to the others. I am lazy I figured people could just go to new poems and read em



I still have to read them!!!!

Ok, I did a little collecting of those that Boo missed. This might be a complete list, but I might also have missed one or three more.

25 poems if I counted right. This must be the best turnout of a challenge ever. Yay for us.

I just realized that we have not eaten anything all day except a coffee light frappichino (which I highly recommend) so if things were light headed that is why.

Please forgive if I missed leaving a comment or anything, it is I swear nothing personal.

Mail on the way.
