Same Title - Chapter 7

[Cordelia]

Okay, I submitted mine.

Here is the poem I "borrowed" the title from:

Nature rarer uses Yellow
Than another Hue.
Saves she all of that for Sunsets
Prodigal of Blue

Spending Scarlet, like a Woman
Yellow she affords
Only scantly and selectly
Like a Lover's Words.

-Emily Dickinson.

Come to think of it, "Spending Scarlet" sounds like a good title, too.

I can't wait to read the poems.


Cordelia

AA - thanks. I am perfecting my digital photography techniques. Some day I want to have AVs as creative as JUDO's.

Hospital? Are you okay?

Re: Re: Tomorrow...

Darn it...I spent an unscheduled day in the hospital today. Won't get my poem finished in time!

Thanks Cordy for coming up with a good title (nice av, too!)

Hugs--AA

Hope everything is okay. Just submit it when you get a chance.

Me too! OT caught me just in time and I rushed in and snatched it back.


Why is it that It felt like Friday all day Thursday? I'm not in that much of a hurry as a rule.

 

[Cordelia]

Oh my goodness

It looks like they posted poetry from the 15th early.

Here are your poems. And you did my title proud.

Wonderful poems. I have a feeling they were posted earlier than expected. I have a feeling we'll see more tomorrow...

Thanks for the words!


Cordelia

Edited to add more glorious poems.

 

[Angeline]

I just posted mine--we'll see if it makes it.

 

[JUDO]

Posted mine around 11pm, Friday. I doubt if it makes it, but look for me on Sunday. :sigh:

Challenge poems

O.K. Of the poems already posted. here are my choices for 4x4x8ies challenge "Prodigal of Blue". All were a "5" 0r at least a "4". But the ones I liked best were by 03sp, Lauren.Hynde, American Woman, guilty pleasure, and OT . This was an excellent challenge. All the entries were very good (or perhaps we are all starting to respond more seriously to these challenges.)!

[Guest]

Thank you for mentioninng mine, Rybka.

 

[Cordelia]

I think Rybka's Prodigal Blue was amazing. I think I read it a dozen times.

I definitely give it a 5.

Cordelia.

(btw, I love the pun on my name....heh.)

And Rybka....I don't recall 03sp posting a "Prodigal of Blue" poem...yet.

 

[Rybka]

And Rybka....I don't recall 03sp posting a "Prodigal of Blue" poem...yet.

Oops! You are right. - Hey somebody out there, your poem was SO good that I mistook it for an 03sp poem!
(Does that get me off the hook?... Oh how I HATE that word!

Regards,                       Rybka

 

[WickedEve]

I was looking for 03sp's poem. Which poem are talking about fishlet?

 

[WickedEve]

Rybka, American Woman thanks you for the mention. She'd thank you herself but she's tucked in with Elda for the night.

 

[Cordelia]

Rybka,

Yeah....whose poem was it you read instead?

 

[OT]

let this be a lesson --
liking is fine and good,
but without a reason ... not as good
