You didn't wait for the other two?

They were provided with advance notice of the time and place. As neither communicated any scheduling conflict, we are proceeding under the assumption their absence is by choice. This is the same procedure under which all of this year's game has been conducted.

I do not recognize poetry as a form of literature...unless it rhymes. Then I'll entertain the possibility it might be some form of sub-species.



I beg to differ. Free verse is just as much poetry as anything else. Simply a different form.

A whole bunch of poets would disagree as well!

Free verse is certainly a form of poetry, it's just not a form of literature. 😛

Strictly speaking, poetry is undoubtedly the most ancient of the two and therefore should, at least theoretically, be the better developed, as well. It is certainly more difficult to produce poetry that rhymes than that which does not; ergo, rhymed poetry is logically the more refined form. Personally, I think those who write poetry in so-called free verse are just lazy, but I know that's a matter of opinion. (I don't mean to offend if that's your thing!)

I know they're all technically forms of literature...I'm just fanning the flames. 😛

Judge I agree with Damanta this is absolutely ridiculous..lol

Guys please do not laugh at me...please refrain.. don't life this is the only thing i could think off..lol

What does the dreamer do but dream of course

walking threw life without a course

Not realizing they are a fool

Scared to use their tools

Reaching is not that hard

if they only would try

Reaching far up high, to the sky

Rain will fall

yes it will

Leaving you cold and filled with chills

Running in circles

Lost with the wind

No one to lean on

Not even a close kin

Growing old with the days, taking no action

Youth is no longer present

only the shades of gray

Will the dreamer ever change

Only time will tell


I better win..lol

Stoic if no one comes close to this, what happens? You'll award immunity to whomever writes one line of the poem or what lol?

Getting ready to cast my vote 😄

Poetry and literature are both forms of art. There is no purely objective way to measure the quality or laziness of any particular writer or style of writing.



Don't want to call them lazy? 😉

I consider my work done here.

I've never cared for anything of Whitman's that I've read. Having not read his complete works, I will refrain from calling him lazy, as it is possible one or more of those I've yet to suffer through may demonstrate some menial level of skill and/or artistry.

I have read all of Shakespeare's published works and generally find them quite agreeable, with the exception of those unrhymed and masquerading as poetry. 😛

This is bullshit. You make us stick circles, squares, and triangles up our asses and the Airheads get this?! Bullshit, Sir. BULLSHIT.

The night the kitty joined dxpSurvivor's chain.
suffice to say she was indeed impressed.
The Goat thought - That cat's insane.

The kitty served snacks even in the rain,
the poor kitty's obvious duress,
the night the kitty joined dxpSurvivor's chain.

The players tore down dxp lane,
the kitty's escape plan was a mess.
The Goat thought - That cat's insane.

A lion even showed off his mane,
ostriches all seemed quite impressed,
the night the kitty joined dxpSurvivor's chain.

The players were fast but light on brains,
the kitty laughed indeed, she must confess.
The Goat thought - That cat's insane.

The kitty laughed all through the pain,
for the Goat pounced at first, but then regressed.
The night the kitty joined dxpSurvivor's chain,
the Goat thought - That cat's insane.

Peace out 😛



^This isn't bad. It's a solid B+ effort, maybe an A- depending on the others against which it was graded.

It wouldn't be a challenge if it was easy!

I give you a C-. Only because you have yet to find me a awesome Beluga hat. I said good day!



😐

You didn't ask me for a Beluga hat. Take back that C- and I shall knit you one. Take it back, whale!

After showcasing an example of nearly the entire animal kingdom, do you really mean to tell us that you don't have a whale hat?

Yay! Congrats Aqualove.
