Variations - Words edition...

[Saltfountain]

Soooooo... Apparently Lit is a words based site, and it's all about the writing. Who knew...?

So for those who enjoy displaying their grey matter as opposed to their fleshy matter, or those wishing to exercise their thinking muscle as opposed to...

Well, you get the idea, for anyone who enjoys (or would like to explore) being creative with words, I offer you Variations - Words edition...

First things first. Everyone is creative. Some of us only feel like we're not due to the education system preferring conformity to creativity...

So this thread will be similar to Variations, but words based, not picture based. Every Saturday (that's my time, it may not be Saturday yet your time, or indeed not still be Saturday. I'm sorry you live in the wrong place. You're still welcome here ) I'll post a prompt, and most weeks a form to give us a jumping off point.

All you have to do is respond to that prompt in the style given (if any). Simples, huh?

The only wrong way to respond to the prompt is to ignore it totally . And you can respond as many times in as many ways as you like.

All I ask is that people are nice to each other and we support each other as opposed to pulling people down...

I don't know if this will work, but let's see

 

[Saltfountain]

It's a new place. It's only polite to introduce ourselves to each other. So I that spirit, this week's theme is

Who am I?

And I'd like your responses in the form of an acrostic poem using your username as the acrostic.

Now before you panic, all an acrostic poem is is a poem where the first letter of each line, when read vertically downwards, forms a word. In my case this week, the word would be 'Saltfountain'. If your username contains numbers, just ignore them...

It doesn't have to rhyme, but it can do. That's up to you...

Good luck, have fun, and be creative!

So here I am then
Although who I am is more complex
Lover, sinner, picker, grinner... Ah shit
That was Steve Miller...
For all my faults
Of which, there are legion
Unless you actually get to know me
Nothing really makes sense
To some, I'm a total cunt,
Alternatively, I'm a nice guy who's misunderstood
I try to be the latter
Normally...

 

[lavendersilk]

L egend? Maybe...
A rtist? Perhaps..
V ocalist? At times...
E nthusiast? Absolutely!
N ormal? The jury's out...
D ownright hilarious? Of course!
E ffervescent? In my youth...
R idiculous? Every day!
S illy? Yup!
I ngenious? I wouldn't go that far...
L ovely? Without a doubt!
K ooky? You better believe it!

 

[Cjbdd]

Cute as a button or claws out
Just a girl with all the guards up
Better treat me right if I let you in
Don’t want to see what I’ll do if you don’t
Doing the best I can under the strangest of circumstances

 

[lingus60]

Like to think
I can build guitars
Not fancy ones.. just..
Guitars that work and are
Used by a
Son that makes them sing

 

[barefootgirl69]

Barefoot and loving it
Always hated wearing shoes
Really - it's not a foot fetish
Everyone always asks about it
Foot prisons just aren't my thing
Other than that, I'm just someone
Observing others here on the forums
Talking, flirting, flitting around
Giggles come easily at times
Introverted and shy
Rarely stepping out of my box
Little, wild, cupcake

 

[Saltfountain]

Sarcastic?
Absolutely!
Look at my posts and see
Tactful?
From time to time...
(Occasionally at best)
Uncaring?
Never!
There's always an ear if you need
A good friend?
I try to be
Now, back to being a pest...

 

[lindi_85]

Longing to be seen
I wait patiently for attention
Needless is my pursuit
Doomed am
I

 

[lingus60]

Less of an extrovert, slightly more
Introverted, and I can get quite
Nerdy about certain things
Guess that’s not
Unsurprising for someone who studied
Science back in the day

 

[Solid_wave]

Selfless and kind,
On a bike, with my
Legs on fire
In nature, with a
Desire for freedom, asking myself
Where to find,
All in yourself, a
Voice said,
Excellent bike ride it was

 

[EvaLane]

Eventually, they all wonder.
Virtually? It’s quite simple.
Ambiguity is alluring, silly Daddy.
Listen - I’d really rather be fucking.
Ask, but I think you already know.
Nerves hold us back so often…
Enough about me, who are you?

 

[Cat]

Cat in a box, Schrödinger's perhaps?
A giggling, grinning, and cogitating Cheshire maybe?
Though, upon a closer look - she's just a cat.

I see and have seen you, Lindi! Still love those lips

 

[Awaywego]

Always present,
Willing to hear you
And offer help
You can depend on, honestly!
Wanton within reason,
Energetic for fun,
Generally good at many things
Only an "expert" at a few..

Classy bitch said no one ever
Jeans and a tee is where I live
Because comfort is key, I don’t suffer for beauty
Don’t dress me up and parade me around
Determined to be me, like it or not

 

[MiaBabe23]

Made of strong and fragile materials,
I try to find the best in all,
Anxious yet ever curious,
Beauty-seeking, search for what enthralls,
Affectionate when touched by someone,
Bound perhaps beyond nature’s laws,
Elated by the extraordinary

 

[barefootgirl69]

bookworm
funny
 genuine

 

[Cjbdd]

Clever girl with a sharp quick tongue
Judge me at your peril
Bleed for me as I cut you with words
Damn I bite hard….or so I’ve been told
Do you wish I was nicer?

 

[MiaBabe23]

My
Itching yearnings
Are
Being
A
Bitch
Effortlessly

 

[DannieB]

Delightfully ditzy
Always overthinking
Nerd
Naughty
Introvert
Empath
Bore

I feel this one, Mia.

 

[lindi_85]

Lit by fire beneath his gaze,
I’m caught, owned, in his strong embrace
Newly discovered this strength within
Drowned in pleasure, soaked in cum sin
I surrender, I belong to him

 

[lingus60]

Lifelong music lover
Intellectually curious
Never sit still for long; too many ants in my pants
Got to be learning new things all the time
Usually to be found in the kitchen, garden or workshop
So retirement suits me well

 

[Saltfountain]

To the tune of 'Happy Xmas (War is Over)' by John Lennon...

So this is Salty
And what have I done?
Looks like a new thread
This one has just begun

For although I like pics
Only words are used here
Unlike all my others
No images to see

To the people posting so far
All my thanks go to those
I hope it's a good one
No need for the hose
