give me a challenge

[perks]

I need direction. A multitude of memories, a ton of inspiration, but it's just right on the tip of my fingers... an arrow, if you will, por favor...

in other words, someone start another frickin' challenge.

How about the word "Album"? Could be photos - music - scrap-book.


Just an idea.

 

[perks]

maybe I'm not as inspired as I thought.

sorry, I'm such a dick.

Geesh.

I was going to tell her to take one of her art pieces and turn it into a poem.

I admit defeat.

Well honey, maybe she can't do that. It's a good challenge. lol.

Go on, Perks. And if you can do that, can you do that curly thing with your tongue? I challenge you. And and uh the "live long and prosper sign." Do that, too (both hands, now).


After all, some Presidents can't walk and chew gum at the same time. Hell, some can't even think.

 

[perks]

wait, what's a strophe again? Is that like a stanza? or poem paragraph?

 

[Angeline]

it's a stanza

 

[perks]

I will post it here tomorrow.

How bout this?

Try this:

Make believe you've just encountered the ghost of your favorite dead poet.

Use this dead poet persona as a springboard--or backdrop--for developing any pesky theme/memory/emotion that's been rattling around in your head.

For instance:

Plath --- Angst
Poe --- Paranoia
Whitman --- Somnambulism
Corso/Kerouac --- Autoeroticism
Ferlinghetti --- Demagougery
Dickinson --- the uber-bliss of the tragically cute

The possibilities are endless

Like, I'm thinkin', maybe I have this vision where Raymond Carver's ghost is trying to bum a carton of smokes off me.

Would I capitulate to its demands?

What would I ask him for in return?

I had a dream about that, except it was set in Gibson's macroverse. And he didn't want a carton, just a pack, and then a light.

I was busy pulling kittens out of the sewer. But I regretted not asking him if he liked my ankles.

Microscopic Men in My Mind

dry skinned drunks
gaze into their cheap glasses
sneaking peaks at her
cashmere red breasts
wondering if she'll flash
her patent leather smile

laughter of the
"still wet behind the ears" boys
makes her thighs quiver
as they share shots
and perspective
within earshot of her kinky curves

the other women
prowling prey, purr
at the boys and drunks
ignoring her tall round ass
as it taunts their
bar stool flats

She, sheltered, box-bound
tied to her post
takes their coats
hanging hook by hook
their loud histories,
but watching only him

Intrigued by that handlebar
moustached mouth
and the way he watches her
differently
from her big browns
all the way south

 

[eagleyez]

that is truly magnificent

 

[Icingsugar]

May I say: Woah.

Wow! Perkie - you rock!

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Perky, I'm in awe.

I think I'll stick to the "same title challenge's."

goes in to hiding from the real challenges around here

Ok, I must confess something. I didn't issue this challenge out of the goodness of my heart.

About a year ago, in Land's Challenge Thread, Eve challenged me using those exact same words. Shortly after I had some computer problems and didn't have internet access for a while, so the momentum was gone (and Eve fortunately forgot about it).

I never liked to step back from a good challenge, but as you will notice, nowhere in that post does it say that I had to actually write the thing. The way I see it, I only had to produce it. So thank you, Perks, for being my fiendish instrument of... um... score settling.
