Same Title Challenge #8

[WickedEve]

Wicked! On the eve of my enchanted play
Did I come to thread and read your post to say
That now the hour once begun for dance to start
You want to challenge for change within my heart?

Fairest light, seen from the edge of counter, may
I reflect on glimmer of the moon’s bright fey
Ascertain the question of this youthful quest
Before delivery of reply I suggest?

Well, answer here I must but what sweet avail
With course one sets a sailor hopes winds to sail
And mend the compass to find the storm to pass
With ever watchful eye to sight the home at last.

I hope this answers questions that you have posed
If not, at least, please accept from me this rose!

= = = = =

I like pleasured vs purr, though both have a certain amenity to them.

If, in the final analysis, one uses Lauren's suggestion of Amenity________, a certain bend in the original challenge would occur. If this inspires you to greater poetry, by all means, amend the Amenity!

How eloquent, Mythos.

umm i think you set the twist into motion with ...

Would I be a total ass to ask you to add something to the title? Maybe just one more word to make it more interesting and challenging?

then OT took it and ran with it ,,,
i think ,,....
ohh well its a good one any way .........

Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. lol And OT was hogging all the credit. Bad wooden boy toy. Spanky, spanky!

Let's call it a joint effort so that I can claim to have done something for this challenge.

 

[Angeline]

I just thank God it is not Amytville
Terrible movie
but Amity pussy
mmmmmmmmmmm (=`.`=)



*calm down BD, behave, there are ladies present*

 

[darkmaas]

This is too much

The other day I was digitally indiscrete and I promised to stop lurking and have another go at "Same Title". So, bring it on Mythos!

Now I'm all confused. First it was...

*** AMENITY *** (with or without the accent)

Sounds tricky but we'll manage. Then people start mucking about and now it's...


*** AMENITY PUSSY ***


Well really!

What if I don't like cats?
What if I'm allergic to cats? Help me here Kdog. What if the cat knocks over the lavalamp?
Is the cat supposed to be au natural, shaved, waxed, Brazilian or what?

<Muttering darkly>
OK you want pussy, I'll give you pussy...

Exit stage left. Cue the dancing bananas.

 

[Angeline]

Oh Noooooo

Not the dancing bananas! You did that on purpose! And Amenity Pussy? Sounds like a character from some Nancy Drew rip-off:

Amenity Pussy, Girl Reporter
Amenity Pussy, Student Nurse
Amenity Pussy, Young Poet

What the heck?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

No no no. It was Amenity, and now it's Amenity X, where X=whatever tickles your fancy. In Judo's case, X marks the spot.

You hang around with enough lavalamp freaks and of course you will get confused!
I believe the choice of word/s after Amenity was left to the author, as in "Amenity ____".

[Angeline]

Although I'm Starting

to like the idea. hehehe

Amenity Pussy and the Case of the Purloined Dancing Banana

(if that isn't a freakin good title. . .)

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Amenity Pussy and the Case of the Purloined Dancing Banana

And suddenly, she doesn't sound like a Bond-girl anymore...

 

[alwaysawake]

Amenity Pussy Does Dallas?

 

[Angeline]

LOL AA

Amenity Pussy Does Dallas?

yes. you understand perfectly.

 

[Mythos50]

I thought I would post other titles up for consideration, in case a future challenge leader needs some inspiration - if you can find any in them:

Crackles From A Campfire - stare into a campfire, can be inspirational. Can also put you to sleep! lol!

Dream Tomorrow - I have yet to get that poem done. Does that sound like too familiar?

Moralistic Ethnoholic – a little too didactic in tone?

Promo Night Pleasures - hmm, I thought this too racy and then there was Judo!

Hillside Hothouse - well? alliteration!

Morph A Dolphin or Morph A Dragon – probably better as a song
or
Morphadolphic – sounds like a place in Pennsylvania

Mint To Be Green - after Prodigal of Blue, I thought NOT!

 

[JUDO]

Promo Night Pleasures - hmm, I thought this too racy and then there was Judo!

What? There's something wrong with two-for-one? I don't get it.


- Judo

Amenity submitted

 

[WickedEve]

Amenity submitted

You submit it Monday, BD. We read them on Tues... hey! I do new poems on Tuesdays! Mythos!
Oh well, as long I don't have 20 or 30 Amenity or Amenity Pussy poems.

 

[Angeline]

I Want This One

Promo Night Pleasures

Only I want to drop the "o" and change it to:

Prom Night Pleasures

Except, thinking back, my prom night was less one of "pleasures" and more one of ever-deepening anxieties related to the following:

1. Would my hair (recreated for that night only as a towering confectionary) stay in place? And what the hell was happening with those butterfly-lookalike plastic thingies the hairstylist insisted made me incredibly attractive? (They felt like they were moving. Why?)

2. The very lovely wrist corsage presented to me by um Skippy Bukowski (really, that was his name--and no, no relation to the poet, who I'll wager never went to a prom) itched like hell, and in fact was giving me hives. Would Skippy be offended if I tore it from my wrist and scratched wildly?

3. What did Skippy really mean by "order anything" at the Hawaian Palace (yep, hot nightspot for after-prom dinner). Could I *really* order the Volcano Steak or best be safe with a Polynesian Palace Burger (as gross as it sounds). And I would rather die a thousand deaths than be picked to hula in the stage show that accompanied dinner.

4. When Skippy inevitably moved in for the big kiss, would tongue be involved? His braces made me nervous. What a night of discovery--the main one being that Skippy and I were not meant for each other after all. (Thank god.)

Hell, forget the poem: I think there's a movie here:

Nightmare on Prom Street

 

[OT]

i think i hear skippy sobbing over in the lurkers thread...

 

[Angeline]

Skippy ain't lurkin

I know where he is and it's not writing poetry.

Besides, I'm pretty sure he had the same revelation about his helmet-haired behived date.

and I changed his first name and the restaurant's a little to protect him.

 

[silken_dreammaid]

Oh well, as long I don't have 20 or 30 Amenity or Amenity Pussy poems.

has submitted.. and Eve, it's not a Pussy poem...

[Guest]

I beg forgiveness from all of you for what I just did, that is, submit my "Amenity" poem.

It should never have happened. I don't know what came over me.

Mia culpa.

Amenity Burn-out

Who is this fellow Mythos50?
He must think he’s pretty nifty
But he can’t be very swift, he
Picked the latest challenge word, a
Word for which I might do murder.

It simply went from bad to worse as
I came up with awful verses.
Turned the air blue with my curses.
One by one they fell like lead
And left me pining for my bed.

So challenge eight has got me beaten.
Black the crow I’ve humbly eaten.
My degradation is complete and
Challenge eight wins after all
But, truth be told, I had a ball.

Told you all I was having difficulty. I'm leaving for a remote Island retreat, possibly never to be seen again.
