Mer, looking good and great to see you are using the challenge to play with forms. I had to look at Tarza's list to find paradelle and 1-22 is a shining example.

..Well you knocked that one out of the park. I tried so hard to find awful words, too! I was trying to get back at Remec for the Mexican cooking scent (that hangs on my poem like an afterthought!), but you saved him and are triumphant.![]()

well, she's feeling better, I couldn't find the 5 senses comment thread either and gave up, sex smells like cumin?![]()

And Mer, your poem today is just beautiful writing. I really enjoyed reading it.

Thank you, Angeline!
I hope you are feeling much better!
By the way - if I wanted to recommend a poem I have seen recently that I really like, from a non-Lit poet, where would be a good place to post? The default would be to make a new thread, but if there is one for this purpose already.... please point me to it. Thanks!



A great end to your latest run, R! And while reading it, perhaps after all the dust settles on the current challenges, we should start a paradelle thread. They're a fun challenge to write. (Did I just say that? That and a hole in my head...). Back to work.
Congrats on finishing another 30/30 run, Remec!![]()
Congrats Remec! I've lost count of how many times you've done this now. Amazing persistence you have!

Remec congrats on yet another 30/30
Rem's made it and Legs is just about to cross the finish!
..I have a long recovery ahead of me but I am definitely better than I was and I continue to move in the right direction. It's a haul though: being disabled, even temporarily, is a full-time job and then some--at least in the beginning when you're trying to get everything you need!
....I don't see why we couldn't have a "Recommend A Poem" thread as well. If we do, I think the person making the recommendation should (briefly) say why others would want to read the poem being recommended. ...
It really is a good idea.

Glad to hear you're on the mend. Take it easy, take it slow, and good luck!
Either one of us could put a thread up but I probably need a day to get my thoughts together on why I like the poem, other than that, well, I just really do! No, it's not any of the obvious suspects, I don't think.
It's just that I've got a bunch of work stuff AND the poem for today's closing 30/30... pressure! pressure!! *chews fingernails to the bone*

Legerdemer - Congrats on completing 30/30
now there are none?
Congratulations on finishing the 30/30, Mer!![]()
Thank you, Lyricalli! I enjoyed it, especially in retrospect.![]()
