Drop in on a new STC

[champagne1982]

I've been reading the new poetry thread. There is much there about being a poet and how that feels. It's all very surreal and tangled in our psyches from what I can glean about it.

So to the nitty gritty of my itty bitty thoughts on all this witty, shitty stuff...

Are they gum drops, sugar coated or dew drops beading on the grass? Would we feel better if they were rain drops and each poem was a puddle? Better yet, tear drops that fall, unheeded to blot and splotch upon the pages of life's book.

The title: Word Drops
The deadline: submitting on the 9th for posting on the 10th of February.

I don't expect miracles or childbirth or even a rare, pearl-like kidney stone, just a poem.

Hmmm...Nope, my last brain fart won't work with that title, have to come up with another one. Just hope it comes out as a fart instead of a piece of shit....

STC? STC? Sexually transmitted....chicklets? no?

The truth of the matter of course tells me how long it's been since I've been here.

Same Title Challenge. You haven't been gone that long, just missed the moment we started using the abbreviation, for some reason.

So.....is it a go? "Word Drops" doesn't grab me, I must confess...... but I'll give it a go.

The title: Word Drops

Or exactly equally poetic:


                    word droppings

[Guest]

Are we posting here or in the poems site? And who's taking this challenge - apart from me?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I am.

 

[Guest]

I am.

Good company - I'm glad.................. and relieved.

 

[Icingsugar]

I'll try, although my head is full of germs, so I don't know what'll come out...

[Liar]

Yep

I just had an idea what to write, so I'll tag along. Posted on the Monday the 9th then, and laughed at on Tuesday?

I'm in too. Well, I hope to be in...

 

[Guest]

I screwed up - mine's flown the coop. Oh well, the word dropped.


I forgot to flip the calendar - I was looking at January all along.

I see my challenge may have come at a bad time for many of you. I'm sticking to the 9th for submission to be posted on the 10th. If you miss the deadline and would still like to write a word drop 'puddle', why don't you just do it? Post it to the site or on the thread, it doesn't matter. JUST WRITE!

What the heck day is it anyway?

I wrote one stream of sleepy consciousness instead of drops of words and submitted it in my sleep
a puddle of drool on the keyboard
threatening my life with electric shock
and wake up to see


I am early? What the hairy heck.

bubbles of sea foam on my toes

 

[Lauren Hynde]

I wrote two, but didn't post in time. I'll revise them a bit and post here later today, or you can check tomorrow's list.

 

[*Catbabe*]

I also didn't finish mine in in time to post it for today. I will post mine later, as long as it doesn't make me shudder when I read it this morning when I am not tired.

Sigh...

I am glad that I am not the only one who is time confused. I swear it is February.
