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

Just so you all know
To get writing you can go
if you want to see my work
Even if you only lurk
I have a poem in review
soon I might have a few
but please take a chance
and skewer it with a lance
please just say a few words
Poetry isn't just for nerds



There was something else I wanted to say... but I have forgotten

Maybe I will remember later

Khamsin

I have remembered

It was that you might have seen my latest thepost poems... I really am looking for subjects and titles... you know challange me as it were...

Khamsin

well join the poetry slam kind of thing on my page mate... just seen my latest come up on the post too... though probably going to have send some more soon

I seem to send them to the post one week at a time...

poetry slam thing?

something a friend told me about once... a poetry slam is where you make up a poem on stage from nothing in as quick a time as possible...

*gulps* Anthea knows the extents of my skills of that as she tested me while she was here... though it wasn't on a subjec

you were very good

go on, it cant hurt, and if it does i know a good doctor who will nurse you better

ok I will then...

So Pete... do they have to be long?

nope just on a random subject provided by the audience....

ah right...

maybe... do you mean on hootoo or do you mean RL? I'm not good with an audience RL...

I mean hootoo - RL audience.... *'s and hides*

Don't I know it.Went up to give my English talk on Adeline Yen Mah today,and I was all prepared,but then I got up there and they stared at me and I lost it...babbled for 8 minutes,taking my grade down from a 1 to a 2...I had to check the book twice!

poor Lori...

Yeah there is no way I'm standing infront of a RL audience...

so where would we do this Pete? askh2g2?

I don't know - we can do - where would you fancy to do it?

well we might get a few people interested... we have a wider range of people on ask... I think...

Yeah we would - now we just need to find the poets who want to participate - or start off the participation

You could start an A-page...

I suppose I could if I knew the rules...

but we could announce it in next weeks post as a sociaty

Rules... well we could just give ourselves a day to post a response to a title provided by the audience. Audience also chooses favourites out of the poems that are posted... other than that anything goes....

Ok...

well if Feuille gets on this convo I will ask her to write it up for us you know so then we don't cheat

What do you want me to write up?
