The Fraken-poem

[todski28]

we most certainly did

and so fast!

is anyone else surprised at how fast this came together? it was only a matter of hours from tods announcing the kick-off!

It's lucky I don't sleep much more than three to four hours a night lol, that and you guys fired back each stanza so fast!

 

[Angeline]

you know how that worked? it was the open-ended end lines of each piece that served to allow that seamlessness, imo. it was a stroke of genius. *nods*

Indeed!

it wasn't until I was writing my bit that I realised to make it open ended

Indeed!

If I have learned nothing else from hanging out around the people of this forum it's this: There is power in enjambment.

I used to call it "running sentences across lines" because I didn't know it was a thing. I thought I just figured it out lol.

bump, see if any one else wants to try and run one of these..... do we even have 6 regular writers at the moment?

 

[Tsotha]

The poem turned out pretty good. I expected a frankenpoem to feel a bit disjointed, but the seams are pretty smooth if you don't actively look for them. Also, each poet poured his/her inspiration into a single stanza, and tried to do the most with his part. The poem never loses breath, you never feel like "oh, if I had to cut one stanza...". Good job, people.

depends on what you mean by regular
also depends on what you mean by writer
either way, I don't qualify

Don't qualify or won't play?

There are plenty of regular writers in New poems wonder what sort of monstrosity we could really create, mix in some rhyming couplets, with plastic plates bowing under the weight of cliches etc. I liked the last poem and agree with tsoth about the final outcome, my part could use a shuffle around it reads pretty choppy.

 

[butters]

i'll play

He is saying he:

1) doesn't consider himself a writer AND
2) ( doesn't consider himself a regular ) OR ( doesn't think he has a regular <something> (bowels?) )

 

[Trixareforkids]

I'll play too

Ha you're prolific enough to come up with something else

 

[Tsotha]

No, thank you. Not a writer either.

you and 12 both deserve an e-slap for e-faux humility

 

[Tsotha]

you and 12 both deserve an e-slap for e-faux humility

Not faux humility, just a lack of desire to write.

lack of desire is one thing
not being a writer's a separate condition

That can be easily fixed.
