A new STC for your consideration.

[Guest]

With the winding down of echoes_e's challenge of "Only" - great choice, BTW - I propose "Last Orders".

If anyone has another suggestion or this one isn't acceptable I'll happily withdraw it.

 

[Linbido]

It's a good title, and a challenge is probably what I need to get my sleepy head working.

But if you don't mind, I think it would be cool with something more elaborate. The last challenges have had pretty vauge titles. "Still", "Only", "Word Drops". Yours is more specific, but maybe not specific enough? It's easy to find many intepretations on that. Let's challenge our muses a bit.

Just my 2c. I'll gladly do Last Orders if y'all think so.

Some weird suggestions:

The Origin Of Hurricanes
Food Court Melodrama
Seven Breaths Until Tomorrow

I'll probably end up writing them anyway. I sometimes start off with a title.

 

[WickedEve]

Last Orders could be a great title for a bdsm themed poem.
I've had a title in my head for awhile now: Seven Months and Three Days

 

[Tathagata]

Last orders

Make sure my guitar's in the coffin
and a bottle of absinth
and I want to be wearing my black hawaiian shirt
Put a keg near my feet so that those that want to can have a final drink with me
and play the cd's I made for my death
none of that canned organ shit

No flowers
they make me sneeze
instead banners
or pictures
and burn incense
the japanese kind
and read from the Tao te Ching
and Khalil Gibran
and Alan Watts
and put a pair of thos Groucho glasses with the nose and moustache in my shirt pocket

and when we get to the crematorium
tell everyone to say " Burn baby burn...disco inferno"
No really I want to go out laughing..

and scatter my ashes over the pond up behind where i grew up
and send some to ireland
and anyone else who wants a pinch can have some
and then
just leave me be

 

[Kundalinguini]

Love it, Tath.

 

[Tathagata]

Love it, Tath.

thank you brother

 

[jthserra]

Well if it's any consolation to you I haven't a clue what I'm going to write on this title, but as anyone who saw me leap into the "Disco Inferno" title challenge breach came to realize, this Angel rushes in where the Fool fears to tread.

after Eve--who owes me a burning shambling zombie poem--copped out on me!
