international earth day discussion

[wildsweetone]

i see the story section of the site is having a competition. anybody up to writing poetry for International Earth Day (20th March 2006)? we could keep it informal, keep it open to everyone and using any or all poetry forms. anything official in the pipeline Mods, or shall we just have a free-for-all?

anybody wanna play?

er, i mean write. anybody wanna write?

 

[BooMerengue]

I might have something already- one of my lesson poems for little minds. If I can find it.

Now that did not sound encouraging. So I'll post it in spite of you, then. Ok? Ok? Hmmm???

 

[wildsweetone]

either way you're gonna post it. you know you are.

hold onto it though and see if anyone wants to do anything specific. who knows what could happen.


if you don't post it i'll come and get it off you and post it.

hey, cool bananas with a grin is very encouraging i'll have you know.

I just jumped knee deep into my story this weekend for the
"Literotica Earth Day Story Contest"
"E-Man vs Octopussy" (humor)

I think this is a swell idea wild, let me know what you come up with as far as dates and deadlines <grin I'll scribble ~ sum' thin ~

 

[another realm]

I have a couple of poems that I am working on that might fit in here. Nice idea, wildsweetone. More people should be aware of Earth Day in a more hands on approach.

 

[My Erotic Trail]

perhaps an Illustrated Earth Day Poetry Contest
I wouldn't put a cap on it but rather suggest photos with poetry
the power of visual scenes of the earth, woods, mountains and etc

I show Earth day to be April 22...
you show international earth day March 20th?

I don't know of any plans to have any contests or challenges, so your idea sounds good to me.

White Warlock, thanks for starting the ball rolling with your awesome poem.

Grandfather ...

Born of crashing waves
in rain squall gusts of destiny,
fluidity spins
jaded thoughts of creation's
ageless tapestries.
Heaven knows
every teardrop wiped
from horizons of earthly sorrow
but, only nature still sings
songs of a better tomorrow.
Tis hard to believe in a heaven
or hell these days,
watching the waves crashing
listening to whales weep..

we have whales stranding on our beaches from time to time... i can just imagine hearing them weep.

anyway, I was hesitant at first but wild talked me into it, I posted my poem and as for critique, that is easy, they are all GREAT poems <grin

 

[wildsweetone]

i wonder if i could write a poem about mud, or something.

that's kinda earthy, right?

who else is going to write for this challenge? we've got

BooMerengue
My Erotic Trail
another realm
