h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hi Bribrow,

Kev here. I started a poets group just over a week ago which has taken off at a bit of a pace. Your name has been put forward by some of the members as a great person to join us. If you are interested please pop along to the park gates, have a read and apply.

Will understand if you don't want to, so no pressure.

indie

oops! it should have been not

indie.

i'm serious, do consider joining. enough pressure from me

Hi Indie,
Thanks for putting/pushing me forward for membership of this exclusive-sounding club. I've done as you suggested and applied - let's hope, after all that, that they'll have me!

Bribrow

yippeeeeeeeeee!!
that's great!
welcome, i'm sure, as soon as kev gets you on board.

hi bribrow,

now that you're on the p3 (we pee in three's whenever kev is not looking, and on his most favoured flowers at that: drives him crazy) you should suscribe to the a numbers thread which is specially useful, because you can put in your latest there, letting all the parkies know its up without their having to visit the read and review circle. its a park review circle...in some ways. you can also subscribe to any other thread that you choose to...it will give you an update on what is happening in the group. i've found kev has done a good job of opening the right kind of threads: serious stuff for serious talk, there's a chat thread, a membership discussion and welcome thread called PPPMembership: where you are mentioned by the way, and also welcomed...so its worth at least looking at! and Kev has also put out all these threads in caps so you can distinguish them easily from other convos. (smart idea that one kev...patting you on the back!)

Hi Indie,
When you say peeing in threes on Kev's best plants drives him crazy - with ecstacy or what? Just want to know what I'm getting into here.
Not sure what you mean about subscribng to the "a numbers thread" What's that? I'm still a newbie around here, remember.
I'll go and have a look see and see if I can sort it all out.
I also have a suggestion. I've just discovered Haiku - great fun. What about a Haiku thread?
Talk to you again soon.
Bribrow

Indie,
Don't worry - as if you were - I've found my way into the various threads you mentioned. Wasn't easy but I did it all by myself.

Bribow says: When you say peeing in threes on Kev's best plants drives him crazy - with ecstacy or what?

ecstacy is what he used to get with loobyloo, now strongly protected by her mom mrs.looroll....i'm not quite sure if wet flowers elicit quite the same emotion in him, especially if he has to turn the soil that day!

haiku sounds good: it works on a 7-5-7 syllable format doesn't it? have never tried it. i'm always enthu about new things, but not enough follow through i'm afraid!

so you've found your way around the purple park, and there isn't a need for a guide to lead you through dark alleys!

indie

Hi Indie,
Finding my way around the 3p park wasn't too difficult - only took me a couple of hours trial and error. Mostly error.
Haiku - the Japanese use 5-7-5 but no need to stick to that for the rest of us.
I wasn't all that keen either, but one just popped into my head and then I got going.
It could happen to anyone.
Bribrow

oops!

got it in reverse!

a gentle mother
her soft touch soothes the weary
creating new life

does this work?

indie

Hi Indie,
Ye-es but - you mean new life as energy rather than another baby? Don't be discouraged by my clumsy take - just trying to get the connection between motherhood and soft touch - unless being a "soft touch" herself she's always finding herself pregnant. No no, now I'm just being silly. But you can see how interesting this form can be.
I've churned out another four this morning - took me about half an hour.
If you've time?
I'm running a bath so must go now
Bribrow

new life as energy...


got to run meself: going back home, will get at your haiku a bit later?
