And Miss Oatlash will coach me?

Absolutely...come to me 1201!!!

Cat... I suspect the difference between fantasy and reality is that in the fantasy Tath won't slip on the french fry grease as he tries to gobble the hot, little banana looking things under the heat lamp!

jd!!!



Flyguyyyyyyyyyyyy. I meant to call you and tell you that you left your keys the last time you drove 20 bazillion hours up here to see me.

That worked well. I wonder who else I can volunteer to play in the challenge?

So, the first line is from Tath's poem Crow Moon, the last is from Perks mountain majesty. If I submitted the poem, I'd do it just like that--with the two references following the poem so everyone knows where I got them.

Make sense to everyone? Seems like a good way to do it to me.

Crystal...

Thank you for the demo

Pssst Neo. She usually goes by Ange. I don't think it's a good idea to call her Crystal, women are funy about that.





Okay, yes Ange I will stop menacing the poor unsuspecting people on this thread. Honest. I will.

starting with me

Hmm, you want me to start with you, Neo? I thought I was ending with you but sure I can change my plans.



Okay, I will behave now. It's the coffee. I shouldn't ever drink it.

That's why a prefer to use terms of endearment rather than names. Besides, I usually forget the name anyway.

Ala Vin Zant:

"What was your name?"

Good, more coffee for me....

 

[The_Fool]

It's true. It's the sluttiest thing about me.

(I'm also a grammar slut. I just went back to my previous post to fix a comma and a verb.)

I have to confess, I get in trouble quite often because I can look at a page of print (such as menus, signs, etc.) and pick out the misspelled words. For some reason that grates on a specific someones nerves....

 

[denis hale]

Okay Ange!

Add me to the fold baby!

Sounds like an awesome challenge, and I am thankful for it. *wink*

When I first started working as an editor, my mentor--a true Philadelphia Quaker maiden of about 70 complete with white bun and half glasses) said This will simply ruin reading for you.

It was a pivotal moment in my life, lol, though I didn't realize it then.

I haven't heard that song in at least 30 years and I still know every word. Even all the scatting. I had the soundtrack album and listened to it a zillion times. That's the power of repitition.


You eat ants?
You better believe it... and you're gonna love how they tickle.

 

[Angeline]

Ok. The new list. Isn't this fun? We can all rustle around in each other's poems and see what we like. It'll be like shopping at the the poetry mall, lol.

Sandspike, I'm so glad you're in the fray, too. And flyguy--if you run into any difficulties whatsoever, just remember it's *Cat's* fault, not mine.


We're up to 20. Woohoo!

How'd that square get in there?

I love that movie. My son and I watched it together about a million times.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: If you axe me this whole idea is dangerous...

Whal I've been threatnin' to use:
"Standing with my hands in my pocket"
can be free form right?
as long as nobody minds my demolitions, I'm in.
Let me get it straight, first line, can be anyline from somebody A; last line, is anyline from somebody B.
Line lengh has to be...?
And Miss Oatlash will coach me?

I was not lurking, I made a valid point, if I leave a comment "Wow, that is a great first line" it would be nice to know
just who's it is.

I never answered all your questions. Sorry.

Free form or whatever is fine. (Although I should ask Fooly if he'll make his a sestina, but he'll kill me if I do). And your question about what line is a great one. I wondered about that, too, and thought well maybe nobody will ask and then I won't have to answer.

Whatever line length or configuration or even if you wanna illustrate, it's all good yknow? I would never stand in the way of poets' rampaging muses. Old Ange knows better than that.

But why should it matter which line it is, right? It doesn't have to be the first line of poem x, it could be the 5th or 11th or whatever-th. Just, yknow, as Yoda would say "Choose wisely."

Oh. And you're on your own with Mistress Oatlash. She has to answer the coaching question.

 

[eagleyez]

I'll give it a whirl.

Last Tuesday Coach Oatlash made me do 100 laps.
I'm starting to get the feeling back in my jaw now.

whirl some poetry. yes.
