Critic2, are your lessons done?

[paints]

My dear boy, I return home for a week of holidays only to find that you are not only ignoring your assignment but have completely vanquished any artistic input into this forum.

Now, a massive ego is a fine thing to have, and have you do, but really, this list making and name calling and distressingly feeble attempts at being clever will not do (Cock and troll? Really now.). This will not help you improve your writing. We simply must buckle down.

Yes yes, you did propose the poetry contest but really, is that so difficult? Here, I propose a poetry contest to be started sometime in the New Year. There. The pressure is off.

You've achieved all you need to achieve here, you are the center of the Leonard Cohen Poetry Forum, you have successfully made yourself the only topic of discussion, mostly between you and your numerous alias's. All and well. Now back to those lessons.

Shall we say the 28th? That gives you plenty of time to be festive with your wife and kids and girlfriend. Did I miss anyone? It's so difficult keeping up with what you say you are...
Enjoy the holiday, then off you go to produce something with some bite to it.

I'll be leaving again on the 2nd so do put in your best effort.

Always remember, just experiment, maybe it will work, maybe it won't. It's all about the writing.
