Same Title Challenge - Wasted

[wildsweetone]

A thread posted by Saldne gave me the idea of another Same Title Challenge.
Maybe a little unusual, this one...

Wasted

wast·ed ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wstd)
adj.

1. Not profitably used or maintained: a wasted inheritance.
2. Needless or superfluous: These are wasted words.
3. Deteriorated; ravaged: a wasted landscape.
4. Frail and enfeebled, as from prolonged illness; emaciated.
5. Slang. Drunk or intoxicated.
6. Archaic. Having elapsed.

Submission is to this thread on August 31st.
Form: Any
Length: Any


Anybody interested? Come on, sign up, you know you are!

[Lauren Hynde]

I'm in.

 

[Liar]

Yah. Me too.

 

[wildsweetone]

I just edited the first post to allow for any form and any length. Nothing quite like having next to no boundaries.

Most of the same title challenges are raised with the only requirement being to have the same title. Usually form or rhyme poetry challenges are posted as, plainly that. (see the Sestina Challenge, Sonnet and Villesonnet threads).

I'll give it a shot, nothing more reprehensible than to waste a good STC .

 

[annaswirls]

hm,mm maybe I will give it a twist like the Still STC....

oh god I got some tough comments on that one so long ago....



Please put up reminders! I am awful at keeping track

 

[BooMerengue]

I'm in. Wasted's right up my alley!! *chuckling...

 

[Remec]

The 31st? Yeah, I think I can manage some free time this week. I hope.

 

[Jennifer C]

I'll see what I can do

 

[BrinkOfDoom]

I'm in! Sounds easy enough!

In. This STC would make an interesting illustrated poem

 

[Miss Oatlash]

I haven't done one in a while...and I *do* feel wasted these days.
I'm in...I think...

Why, do you have that many photos of that last visit to Tijuana's finest distilleries?

Welcome to the Poetry Forum Richard, interesting nickname!

Easy? I'm wondering what the heck I've let myself in for. Still, I'm sure something will come up...

 

[bogusbrig]

Sign me up. I've been seduced.

 

[wildsweetone]

Yes!

Did you enjoy the seduction? Or was it Wasted?

 

[Lauren Hynde]

Ta-Ta-DUM!

 

[bogusbrig]

If it was wasted I wouldn't be here WSO but I won't let slip your seduction techniques.

 

[wildsweetone]

*blushing* Thank goodness for that!

I mean, I have yet to get Boo and fly and all the lurkers to join in!

*giggling*

 

[BrinkOfDoom]

Hi wildsweetone, thanks for the welcome! Yeah I like my nickname, BrinkOfDoom, cause it sounds real scary, but - yeah, right! Nope - not me, not scary... just one really repressed mama's boy...

Thanks for the definitions, I like nos. 1 & 6 and will have to choose between 'em before I get started writing. Your 'wasted' entry will be great, wildsweetone - have fun writing it!

-Richard

 

[wildsweetone]

You're welcome for the welcome Richard! lol

Hey Y'all, There's going to be some great poetry to read on this Challenge, stay tuned.

ps
I pmed Boo and Fly and I swear I didn't seduce either of 'em. *chin dipped, eyelids fluttering innocently*


As for the lurkers...

Come on in and have some fun with this Challenge! You know you want to.



*wondering what the heck i'm going to write. i may have to get wasted whilst thinking about it*

Better come up with an idea, or all this will be Wasted... *sigh*

 

[wildsweetone]

Nothing in life is wasted except time. I shall come up with an idea, come hell or high water.

Nothing in life is wasted except time. I shall come up with an idea, come hell or high water.

High water flows
around me; circling,
ever-rising, pass my
boot tops and knees--
leaving me
waisted.

 

[wildsweetone]

Oh my gosh, I didn't realise Boo was already here! How come I missed that Av?

Okay I'll stop swallowing the hootch (what was it you said I was on?) and pay more attention.

Anybody else?

Come on, have some fun, it'll be
