Altered Guidelines: the hommondori-
Thank you to all who played along! Some terrific poems came out of this challenge. Want to go again? I have tweaked the challenge:
Challenge:
UPDATED CRITERIA!
This thread will now be reserved for:
hommondori- HOME-MON-DOOR-EE J: the direct borrowing or taking over of a passage from an older work more or less as it was. When done in English the section is positioned under the title and poet’s name, set aside in italics with the original author’s name. It is a method of giving homage or recognition for the inspiration for a work.
1. I will lift a line from a poem * and post it here at the rate of 1 per week.
If you choose, post a line from any poet anywhere any who, you don't have to use my suggested line.
2. Post poems here for review/comment/critique (please not if you do not want a critique.) This can be done all of a sudden passion impromptu brainstorm etc if you choose of course.
3. If you choose, submit it to lit the following Monday (or whenever you want)
Reason for changing criteria--
1. It is distracting to have italics embedded in the poem and to have the footnotes. Sure it is cool for the challenge, but if anyone wanted to go further with the poem-- outside lit-- it would be difficult to accomplish.
2. Not everyone will be moved by the quote I select, and do not want this to be an exclusive thread.*
*Please pm me with ideas for new first lines you think would be good features.
