Same Title Challenge

[BooMerengue]

Simpler Days

A new old fashioned challenge for one and all. ​

Rules:

Poem can be any form.

Must be posted on this thread Sunday, March 13th.

Title will be Simpler Days (a villanelle, haiku, free verse, etc.)

Multiple entries allowed.

All judging, critiquing, slamming will be done by the other entrants, and will be done here, on this thread.

Each entrant must contribute something to each other entry.

Thats it, folks! Go write!

P.S. To The Moderators. It's a given that there will be banter on this thread. I would ask, though, that it all be removed the night before we post our entries. Would one of you help with that? Thank you.

After the challenge is over, you may submit or not, as you see fit. (This is a good thing; it will give you time to do revisions if you'd like.)

ok

I'm in.

 

[annaswirls]

Great idea, Boo.

Just want to make sure I understand:

Post here, and if you do, you should comment on all of the other entries or a specific number. What a GREAT idea!

I will start thinking on this.

Art? I don't think having a winner is important here. I think advise, adulation and artistic commentary is what everyone wants. So after we all post them I think it'd be nice if all entrants comment on all entries. Everyone gets heard, and no one gets left out.

[BooMerengue]

I just heard from someone that this title... Simpler Days... might be less than inspirational. Is this a problem for anyone else? And is the due date too soon??

Everything's flexible... let me know.

Oh - don't change on my account! My muse might come through. Hell, I dredged something up for that damned enigmatic painting, didn't I? (Tweren't much, but I didn't humiliate myself.)

 

[BooMerengue]

Imp! It wasn't just on your account! I wouldn't have mentioned it; sometimes one voice unknowingly speaks for several. I just thought I'd put out feelers...

 

[BooMerengue]

Actually, I might be havin a little trouble with this title myself. I can write about them, but what can I write that no one else will??? hhmmm...

As Patrick says -- there's nothing new to say, only new ways to say it. Eh?

serious simple days

Welcome, Spike!

I may go with something less beach like. 'Simpler Days' works as a title. What
are we writting about after all. The time limit works also. I wish there was a
limit on how many poems you can send. I don't want to comment on three or
four poems by the same poet, takes the simplicity out of it all.

I hear you. Maybe each entrant can have 2 entries? But it doesn't matter. As long as you comment on at least one of a person's, then thats enough!

 

[average gina]

I was working on something like this before this challenge came up. Under the circumstances, I cannot participate in it.

I have to ask why, gina?

 

[wildsweetone]

Simpler Days... aah the images that conjures up. Awesome title Boo! If you're stuck, have you tried clustering around each word? Step back in time and let your mind wander...



Was it really Yesterday?


*giggling*

 

[echoes_s]

hmmm

not sure I can do this in 4 days, my mind is still "static and fog" from all the past slumber.

Tell you what... I forgot about a couple things I have to do, so let's change the date. How does Sunday, the 13th sound?

It'll be better for me, and give us a weekend to finish up. OK?


A villa sonnet? Ange? You up to that? This one's a freebie- you can pick any style you like, Foolie!!!

 

[BooMerengue]

uhhh... Is the 13th good? I'll go change it on the door if it is. Maybe I just will anyway- it's my door!

Can we get instruction as to how to write a villa sonnet? C'mon, Ange... no secrets! lol
