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.
lol @ this challenge.
come ob man, burlesque vilanelle? how many people heard of that?
on*
I do seem to recall indicating they would become increasingly difficult as the game progressed.
I know Stoic, it just...bring back memories of my 11th grade literature teacher. He had a very specific way of describing this kind of thing 😄
You just wish it was your challenge. Envy Green isn't your best color, Damnata.
Dude this would've been way more up my alley than the sonnet lol.
I see what you did there with your "Envy Green" comment..but let's not give people ideas for this challenge 😛
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.
If I were a gambling man, I would bet Nacho's probably off experimenting with recipes utilizing whale meat.

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.
That poem has nothing to do with the burlesque style .
Don't want to diss you aqua but it's one of my favorites so..no dice.

Yeah yeah I know Stoic. You said you'll fan my flames not take the wind from my wings.
Get it right.😛
Still not good enough Scruffy but ofc you nail this being Romanian.
You need a rich dark morbid sense of humor for burlesque and boy does this nation have it in spades.

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. 😛

TIME!
Do you wish to purchase time or do you have time available for sale?
Posted by GetMisted
I was over by 3 seconds 😢
Pretty much what all of them say.
I feel how hard it is for Stoic to decide who won...

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!

You are a Romanian vampire. How many different souls' compassion are you regurgitating there?

Yay! Congrats Aqualove.Here's your Immmunity Statue sculpted in the Judge's likeness. 😄
I'm sure the Judge's decision was oh so difficult. You must thank him for all that hand wringing for what must have been hours...even days...
It is convenient I possess the ability to travel backward and forward in time.
^^^You didn't give me that and I won immunity twice.
It could be poisoned.^.^

You appear very confused.

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?
lol@ Stoic trolling the beluga.
