A New "Poets Challenge"

[Guest]

If you look along The Poets Sig line you'll see a list of co-operative poems created over the years. The last one was in April '04 so I'm propsing a new one.

Most of you will know of Gustav Holst's The Planets which inspired this idea, if not it's no big deal. There are 7 planets -

Mars - the bringer of war.
Venus - the bringer of peace.
Mercury - the winged messenger.
Jupiter - the bringer of jollity.
Saturn - the bringer of old age.
Uranus - the magician.
Neptune - the mystic.

There's lots of scope for inspiration there but I think a restriction might be fun - a form poem?

I'm not sure how to do the selections - for Sign Language it was first-come-first take but maybe there's a better way.

I'm in. Any form, length, or time-frame requirements? Can I just pick a planet? I believe you should have first choice.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Or did you pick the 7th?

Boy - you two were quick off the mark! I trew it out there before I'd finished thinking - bad idea.

How do we do the selection?

Are you saying I'm an ass-hole?

I think Fly has already selected Uranus.

I dunno, I can work with any of them.

 

[Lauren Hynde]

No, you only posted 6 planets, at first. It occured to me that maybe you had hoarded the other one already.

Uh-oh fly's gonna have fun with this.

*covering my ass*

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Well, my Zodiac sign is supposedly ruled by Mars. That seems as good a method as any other. What say ye?

 

[flyguy69]

*covering my ass*

Yes. I will.

Okay I'll take Venus. I think a form poem of any kind - no free verse. Thanks for letting me pick first.



I'm consulting my calendar for Submission Day and I'll make a thread with rules and date. K?

I'm happy to share Uranus, but it will lead to some awfully kinky poetry.

how could anyone resist that? I will take jupiter, following LH's logic

 

[Liar]

This sounds cool. is Neptune up for grabs?

 

[jthserra]

I've skated saturn's rings once before...

I may give it another try... Let me take Saturn, unless someone already has.
