Yo! Poetry Comp. Rules Clarification Thingy Thread

[Byron]

The only person promoting an event book 'entry' is lizzie and nobody else. It's a fun competition started by michael. It isn't much fun anymore. It's been highjacked.

[lizzytysh]

I hadn't considered that interpretation; but, no, that wasn't my point or suggestion. Was that thought included in your own comment? I was suggesting, however, that I don't feel it would be offensive to him or for the booklet.

It's been highjacked.

By whom? If by me, when the question of what would be the reward was posed; why would suggesting that what's already been done, as a reward, be done again, be hijacking?

It originally seemed to me that having it read aloud in front of 60+ Cohen fans was 'reward' enough.

Liz, maybe you should just start posting and thinking and conjecturing for yourself and stop being the poetry police, the Leonard-would-like-this-police and taking something I said out of context...your sense of humor does not jive with mine or you would have recognized my tongueincheek inquiry. I write for its own rewards. Try it sometime...

[Byron]

lizzie, stop turning this into a multipage semi-diatribe about a bloody poetry competition. PLEASE.


Go and make a pot of Earl Grey. Sit and listen to the birds. Read a good book. Let this fun competition take its course. PLEASE.

[lizzytysh]

Your context is varying on its own, Laurie.

Please quit playing the blame game in my direction.

Reasonable suggestions and thoughts do not a diatribe make. Why don't you go write and have some fun?

Huh... sorry...I dozed off there for a minute...

What was the first one again..?

[Manna]

Did someone say, "Hi, Jack"? We've been looking for him over in the ng, did he pop in here?

[damellon]

Birdonawire - you have definitely been let go from the job. Might you reconstruct yourself as a poet?

Laurie - why won't you enter?

[Alan Alda]

hi Damellon~

It has to do with the weather...well atmospheric conditions more specifically.

Michael came up with a f.u.n. little contest (he's sooo funny) and I do hope that folks get goofy and enter lots of poems and like you say bask in the Glory Maybe next time if the weather stays clear, I'll give it a try. Or maybe I'll judge again...who knows.

No worries,
Laurie

Poetry my arse. Fun my arse. Why does every f***ing thread on this forum become a diatribe.

Here here RP.

(although i'm not sure what tribal eating habits have to do with anything)

[Alan Alda]

I think it might have to do with collective consciousness, peer pressure, loin cloths and Doritos.

I believe it has to do with prams, toys, and throwing out syndrome.
