Same Title Challenge - Redux

[The_Fool]

I know that I really enjoyed doing the Same Title Challenge threads. Is anyone else interested in resurrecting that challenge or do we let a dead dog lie?

For those that were not around when this challenge was going on, this was sort of the flow:

1. A title was selected that everyone writing for the challenge would use.
2. A date would be selected for submission of all poems. Usually around two weeks out.
3. Any that wished could post their poem to Lit with that title on that day (or early or late depending on the writer's schedule).
4. Read, Vote and Comment!
5. Brag lots when you poem did well.
6. Talk lots about the one that got away if you didn't get one in.

So, any interest?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Yeah, except two weeks is way too much time. I don't think we ever waited that long. Maybe just once.

Fool, you're it. Choose the title, choose the deadline. Now.

Foolishly Leaping In

Go for it, Fool baby. I'm in. Title unseen. How's that for love? And you never know, maybe the phantom with the credit cards will return from Paris in time to participate.

Me three. (gulp)

[Lauren Hynde]

Oh, a title with a French accent. Who could possibly resist something like that?

 

[Angeline]

Okay Lauren, since I like to poke fun at you and I really like that AV, you will be the inspiration. Lets use November 24 as the post date. That’s less than two weeks but gives us two weekends.

If you like the AV, stick around. That boob dressed up for Christmas last year.

Shush. It's supposed to be a surprise!!!

 

[Angeline]

Shush. It's supposed to be a surprise!!!

We should know now. Some of us might want to tell it what we want for Christmas--we'll need time to think....

 

[JUDO]

Tell the BOOB what you want for Christmas? C'mon now, it's a boob, for Chissakes! You tweak it, it waves back -- that's about it.

*biting my tougne very hard over here*

 

[WickedEve]

Oh, goody, someone picked up the title challenge. I don't even remember the old thread. Pretty please play with me? Or was that for another challenge? Anyway, love the title. I'm leaning toward a French form for this one. No rules on length or anything like that?

 

[Angeline]

It's not just *any* boob. It's *Lauren's* boob. It not only speaks; it speaks seven languages. God only knows what else it can do.

So, Fool, enjoying your thread hijack by out of control poet chicks? lol

 

[Cordelia]

ack.

I have been staring at that title for 10 minutes now. Still nothing.

I'll post if the muse bends forward and flashes me a little cleavage.

psst...I wanna be out of control... may I join? Is it difficult?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

It's not just *any* boob. It's *Lauren's* boob. It not only speaks; it speaks seven languages. God only knows what else it can do.

Are you saying I should let the boob write this poem in French?

 

[Angeline]

Are you saying I should let the boob write this poem in French?

If you wanted, you could submit two poems--or doesn't the other one write poetry?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

The other one is shy.
