Are you going to explain the rules? I know Champ has done these before, but I haven't, so I'm not sure what exactly I'm supposed to do.





Other than get obliterated by her genius, I mean.

Yes. At the designated time, I will post the challenge and the amount of time you have to complete it. Until then, I guess you just tremble in your shoes - lol.

I'm barefoot.

Do I need to put on shoes to tremble in?
 
Ah ha, so, you are duelling with a pistol after all! :D
At the moment, simply limbering up with some sabre rattling. When Champ shows up is when I'll actually draw the weapon.



Voluntarily or not, probably.
 
Good thing I've looked in. I was imagining 12 Mountain. Whew. Not that Teezed couldn't use a head start and all.

Gilbert Grappé is of noble mein
especially when he's pantyless
his torso bent in a forward lean
and lifts the hem of his kilt no less

disturbing than a prairie moon
that eclisped shines bloody red
he should quiver in the Kansas noon
as we lay together after being poetically bled...

Gawd, I hate pressure.

You're going to give me a head start?!

Oh. You mean start first.

Tzara's Toro Blues

I'm just a lawnmower, baby,
Pull my cord, I'll cut your grass.
I'm just a lawnmower, baby,
Pull my cord, I'll cut your grass.
If you let it grow a little longer,
You'll knock me flat out on my ass.

Oh yeah, a kilt is pretty breezy,
When you've got a lawn to mow.
Yes, a kilt is pretty breezy.
It gets drafty down below.
But wherever your lawn needs a'mowin'
My engine's always free to go.

I'm just a lawnmower, baby,
Pull my cord, I'll cut your grass.
I'm just a lawnmower, baby,
Pull my cord, I'll cut your grass.
This time I'll trim it really short, baby,
To cut back on your sass.
 
So, it's a date...

CHAMPAGNE VS: TZARA
TUESDAY, APRIL 28, 2009
12:00 PM mountain time.
(this translates into 10:00am pacific, 1:00pm EST and 6:00pm GMT.

Judges include:

UnpredictibleBijou
AnnaSwirls
and UnderYourSpell (UTS, please get back to the thread to confirm or deny the spot) or Tungtied2U.

Is everyone good with this time and date? Please confirm and we will go ahead from there.

I guess so, although we're an hour early by my clock :p
 
Today's challenge is to write an erotic poem revolving around bondage, in the sexual, BDSM context. The form to be used is of your own choosing, but there is a catch. The form you choose must reflect the content of the poem and of the overall bondage theme as a greater metaphor.

You have 45 minutes to complete the poem and send it to me as a Private Message.
(And please include the name of the form you use.)
 
I'm going to cook dinner don't start without me although what I am supposed to do is beyond me. Who's silly idea was this? oh yes I remember a certain thread starter gave me a hefty shove grrrrrrrrr

Don't worry. You only need to critique. You will have 24 hours to do so once the poets finish their poems.

You and others will need to decide, in your opinion, which of the two poems better responds to the theme; which of the poems better incorporates the form chosen with the theme; and which of the poems is a better poem overall. The poem that you consider being better in at least two of those three criteria will be your pick to win. :)

Form reflecting content... so you can use a rondeau, and keep repeating a command, and the repetition in form resembles the repetitve nature of domination and submission? I'm not going to write a poem, I'm interested in form reflecting content though. Might be too limiting, or not clear enough, how can the appearance of words resemble a theme or context or metaphor?
 
It looks like Tzara was too fast for Champagne! I still haven't received her poem.
 
Perhaps I should look at the tree climbing gear.

Its soaked with pitch and smells of Black Spruce.
 
Well, considering I thought that I was going to start writing now rather than an hour ago, I did finish about 3 minutes earlier than my high noon.

The boys on Boot Hill are rolling in their pine boxes and gettin' tangled in their shrouds... alas.

p.s. I don't think 45 minutes was long enough to research a form and then write a poem... or maybe I was too concerned with content... I dunno. Count or not. Mine's in.
