Langtry Saloon Shoot-out, Qualifying Round
Sometimes ya just gots to do it. I saw a suggestion for another shootout, and the first one I knew about was fun, so in the absence of other outlaw instigators, here goes.
Can you shoot the cap off a beer bottle? Try to qualify for the deadly game of survival...
Send 1 to 6 lines of verse to ME via PM, and I'll duplicate them here, assigning a number or a letter or something. Get all snippets of verse to me by 18:00 GMT March 09, 2005. I'll get them posted on this thread within 24 hours, good Lord willin' and the creeks don't rise.
Post NOMINATIONS on THIS thread, for TWO FINALISTS.
In vying for a nomination with one to six lines of verse, you need not submit a complete poem. Just give evidence of your skill as a versificator. Show a sampling of what you can do.
Final shoot-out will be a 20 to 30 line poem, unrhymed (except for incidental or accidental rhyme), with no limitation as to subject, rhythm, or anything else. Topic of the shooter's choice. Use a Derringer or a Colt .45, it's up to you!
Final shootists will be chosen solely on the number of nominations received. Resulting poems will be posted anonymously in this thread, and it's Reader's Choice. Whoever is seen to still be wiggling after the gunfight, wins.
Actually, everybody wins. It's a cool way to get good poems.
Edited: I misspelled "Langtry" ... *sigh*
