March Same title Challenge

[HarryHill]

#22 is delightfully wicked, but too short get a sense of who wrote it.

Not that it matters anyway - I'm like 3 for 15 so far.

If you know that UYS has dogs it might make sense who wrote it, that or someone got rid of a troublesome neighbor, metaphorically that is

I'm guessing #24.

Sorry. not me although I do agree "Fertility is overrated"

Short but has that UYS dark humour

Well guessed ........... holds hand up

 

[UnderYourSpell]

Yep, I agree as well as 24? the last one... 23 might be Mer

24 isn't me

 

[legerdemer]

?..23 might be Mer

Not I, HH! Though I like it very much - sweet and pithy.

[Lyricalli]

Seems plausible. It is a very simple, direct and elegant poem. It immediately caught my eye when UYS unleashed the whole barrage of them. I was somewhat overwhelmed, getting all the challenge entries in one swell foop -- I'm used to having them appear gradually, so that I can take my time and digest them one by one.

Thank you

 

[AlwaysHungry]

Clearly I was wrong about #9, because Champs doesn't appear on the list of contenders. Maybe GP or Angeline? Oops, Angeline has already guessed UYS for that one, so I lean toward GP.

I managed to get this one on my second try. Guessing GM and Ash was easier.

I was told to put them all up at once because it's a same Title challenge and that way people can't influence each other. It was only because I was generous with the time slot that others got added.

I liked that they all went up at the same time.

Thank you, I was ruled by Admin

Yep, that's how we've always done a same title challenge here. Everything goes up at once so readers can see the diversity of approaches the poets took. I guess one would see it either way, but that's how they were doing them when I came to the forum.

 

[Magnetron]

I got 8 out of the initial 20 correct.

 

[Sinseria]

YAYAYA another glorious challenge heh thank you UYS for taking the time and the inbox spammage ...its definitely interesting to see the different takes on the same title poem challenge ...and lots of great poems came out of this one to! heh was going to go through and write comments on my favs but well there is to many!

Inbox spammage certainly sums it up perfectly! There were plenty of messages flying back and forth and don't worry they weren't just yours But we got there in the end and I'm thrilled too that your poem was so well received, so I will indulge in a 'I told you so'

Thanks so much for doing this, Annie. It was fun and, dare I say, there was a fertile crop of poems.

That's what I thought--that it proved a fertile idea.

Annie thank you for all the work (you went beyond the call of duty on this one!), and now you need a vacation from us!

I will be back to comment on some of the poems but I am a) still too brain dead from the 30/30 and b) my cupboards are bare. But I'll be back. There's too much good in this challenge not to comment.

And btw thank you GM for your kind words about my poem. We're so often on a similar track when we write, aren't we?

Fertile indeed - thanks Annie for a great challenge.

and muffled curses to whomever mentioned nanoclams

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

I'd like to thank you too, Annie, both for a great, well run challenge and for your patience with me. Kudos to the other participants, some great stuff, as ever. x 12 for all

Indeed. The 2 poems had the same culture, if not epoch, although I'd characterize #19 as an "anti-fertility poem," for lack of a better term.

I have to say #3 was my favorite.

 

[legerdemer]

The more I read #3 the more it grows on me. I really like it when that happens.

 

[butters]

just got use of my laptop back, which is why my own posts have been so short, few and far between since i was pecking out responses on my tablet, laggy and frustrating as hell!

so: thanks, annie, for shouldering the workload on this one; thanks to everyone who entered pieces; and apologies for not getting my own guesses in before the grand reveal. this challenge, as per ususal, spawned some intriguing, inspirational and artistic work that reminds me what a great resource this site can be for aspiring writers.

even though i didn't get round to commenting much, i was reading and giggling at the guesses. my own were just as off target in most cases.

so, between all you guys entering this challenge and the frustrations i've had to endure since my laptop lost its power source till now, i'm thinking of tackling the 30/30.
