A newbie's lament,
Though spoken eloquently,
Brings friendly laughter.

It's the curse of all authors. Just you wait until it's up and the hunger for feedback starts.

Knowing authors laugh
Finding joy in my lament.
I should skip contests.

and then the feedback starts coming in... especially from Anonymous... and you wish you'd never submitted it in the first place...

 

[thambok]

Nah, I got my first feedback. I liked it enough to go ahead and submit.

Thanks again for the help!

Does seem to be taking longer than usual. Posted Friday and has yet to appear. I'm spoiled--the last couple I submitted were contest entries and they always appear quickly.

 

[thambok]

Don't be misled by the heady smell of desperation that surrounds me. I only submitted my story this morning.

To join a contest,
Marks you as a good writer.
Deadlines pass me by.

Hola, thambok. I liked your introductory thread, now this one compels me to welcome you.

If you don't mind, what's your moniker about?

best, Perdita

That nasty feedback
Is a laurel finer than
Any fool troll's praise.

Manu swiftly
Passes Laurel
The buck.

Manu swiftly
Passes Laurel
The buck.

And Laurel quickly
Passes it back
For a fast f.......


Maybe not......

 

[kendo1]

Nice try
Texas guy
Submission, what submission?

 

[TheEarl]

A guy called Tx was lewd,
Taking his chances and being rude.
His submissions have vanished.
From her good books, he's banished.
And from now on, he's totally screwed.

Oops. Wrong kind of poetry.

[TheEarl]

A fugue falls over,
Every languorous thought.
My bed is calling.

Night all.

I play online games, and Thambok is my character. My usual moniker is mindgasm, but somebody took it.

No worries. I can make anything work.

Yup...

Or...you receive 280 emails on one story and you feel compelled to answer each one of them individually...

Submitted mine
Mid-last week - Finally up
With this morning's sun.
