The Games (Poetry Olympics)

[Guest]

Your refrain is lame
but I can't complain
I was too chicken to join in

So just sit back
you worthless hacks
and let the voters decide who wins

You bray and scream
of poet's dream
you bristle and swagger proudly
I must admit I pity you
tomorrow, you'll be crying loudly.

You'll sob and weep
a whimpering peep
and might even break out with hives
we'll be filled with hearty laughter
as we read your poems called live

WickedEve

Hell, no, I won't behave!
I'll keep rebelling until I'm in my grave
Pretty cocky, aren't you, Risque Refrains?
I hope the Tigress didn't strain her brain
This doggerel boasting is quite a kick
But I'd rather have WickedEve suck my dick!

 

[Consenting Couplets]

Risque Refrains

Let's make this short and sweet.
Very soon you'll know defeat.
Consenting Couplets you couldn't beat,
Now kneel and kiss our stinky feet.

 

[WickedEve]

REDWAVE

Where did you last stick it?
Need to know before I lick it!

On second thoughts, don't be a prick.
No way I'm gonna suck that dick!

Your refrain is lame
but I can't complain
I was too chicken to join in

So just sit back
you worthless hacks
and let the voters decide who wins

With you I'd be naughty and misbehave!
Cause your unregistered ass is so brave.
But alas, no way to do it.
Don't know your name, so fucking screw it!

 

[REDWAVE]

LOL

Cute, WE. Here's my reply:

I last put it in a young boy's mouth
From the dark and tempestuous south
It was well worth the few pesos
And later I had his sister, too!

Alas, into your luscious throat
I'll never insert my pud
But I know who to turn to:
My "blowjob bud"!

Re: Moving Right Along!

Our team (CC) was one of the ones that raced through. Drake sent me his first stanza on Sunday, setting the tone for the poem.

Well, it was Monday for me ;-)

Reflecting on this process, I think the first poet of the team is the most important, since (s)he sets the tone and premise of the poem. Next is the last poet-- the "anchor"-- who has the very important job of wrapping it up and making it a finished whole. I had the relatively undemanding task of merely continuing what Drake started, and passing it on to Wicked Eve for her to slam it home.

I think that the second poet also has a very important job. The first poet's work has to be interpreted, and a single stanza can leave the rest of the work fairly open. The second poet pretty much picks an interpretation that the third then has to work with.

I think next time I'd like to think more about strategy beforehand, as in, it would be interesting to discuss some basics of the poem before the poets write their bits. I read through Red and Wicked's stories and poems before writing my first stanza, and thought about what hand I could play them that they would be able to respond well to. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have gone for rhyme in my lines <grin> but c'est la vie. And what I had intended wasn't picked up by Red anyway.

I think this sort of group writing takes quite a lot of thought, and there are many different approaches to the construction of a story (poetic or not).

Interesting exercise, can't wait to see what the others came up with.

Re: Aha!

Drake, your first stanza set up the persona of a smug and arrogant father type, very condescendingly addressing two "younguns." At least that's how I interpreted it. Of course, I couldn't resist playing the role of the rebellious youth.

I had intended a rather different meaning, and I wonder whether letting the poem sink in for the whole day would have allowed you to read different interpretations into it.

I'll wait until the poem is posted for all to see before talking about it further though

Windowless Monads

I doubt it. Frankly, I know we think in different ways, so I wasn't even trying to figure out what the words mean to you. I was just responding to what the words meant to me, and trying to leave it as open-ended as possible for WickedEve.

The end result was bizarre. I have no idea how Lit. readers are going to respond to it.

 

[WickedEve]

REDWAVE

The end result is interesting; the poem is interesting. The poets are bizarre!

I think all three legs were equally important and had their own challenges associated with them.

I had the first leg and I can only hope that my teammates not only liked the tone I set but were comfortable enough, and perhaps even inspired enough to take it to the next level...

I'm anxious to see where they went with it and how my own work holds up in context.

Time

I had the first leg also, Lord knows what my partners think of me. I wanted it to be different and have a lot of energy. I'm glad I did not have to adjust to what was written before me. I think I will stay up late tonight as see if they make the list.
Am I right that we are suppose to refrain from voting on our own? At least we can be sure that all the poems will make the list with 18 votes each.

Anyone know whats coming up next?

cool team, RISQUE REFRAINS! And of course.....the
"others"

CC makes this Plea.......now they'd better flee!

Let's make this short and sweet.
Very soon you'll know defeat.
Consenting Couplets you couldn't beat,
Now kneel and kiss our stinky feet.

What feet?




If we have to kiss your stinky feet
We'll get powder to get that smell beat.
The victory goes to Risque Refrains
Who'll make sure others defeat in pain!
