Gunfights

UnderYourSpell · Apr 12, 2016

Is anyone interested in having another Gunfight? We haven't had one for ages! No I don't want to be a fighter, once was enough and I don't think my nerves are up to it any more. I did win by the way so I will just rest on my laurels!
For the uninitiated, two poets are given a style of poetry to write in but they are told the time it will start and only then given the requirements, with an hour to write that poem.
Judges are asked for from the members and when the two poems are in they are posted anonymously to be judged as to how well their poems have followed the instructions and requirements.

I am a 'fraidy cat when it comes to forms, I'd rather duel with actual guns, at least then I'd have a chance.

It doesn't have to be a form, although the one I did was a Ballad there were other requirements as well.

I'm up for it...depending on what time of the week and day it's held, of course.

oh now this sounds like a hella challenge!!! one hour to write!?! wow! heh

I've bumped my one up to show you what is expected

We've done a lot of gunfights with form poems. Lauren Hynde, especially, was a beast in making a gunfight really difficult by assigning some obscure form.

Annie are you doing a freelance write with an assigned topic? Something like that?

I became aware of her recently because of a sonnet she wrote. Then I noticed that she appears on the list of mods for the fora. What has become of her?

Since we met, Lauren married and got an architecture degree and so is pretty busy these days. I still talk to her but not here. She is a very gifted poet imo, especially considering that Portuguese is her native language and all her poems here are in English.

No clues!!! Tut tut you should know better my girl! I'm only testing the waters right now to see if the interest is still there.
If this does go ahead, I will need help with time zones . The last one I think was Remec v Butters ...... opposite sides of the world for working out the times!

Remec I know is Eastern Standard, same as me.

Butters is probably the same as yours, right?

Yes she is but that was then and this is now, we should maybe try for two different contestants, not that Butters has offered although as this seems to be going up like a lead balloon she might get Press ganged!

I don't think they put reins on dogies, from what I recall from watching Rawhide (yes I'm that old!) a dogie is a motherless calf!

Going to the dogs. Our Newfie cross pulled a cart with the Girl Guides (at least one of whom was in the cart) in the local Christmas Parade. I don't recall reins.
