What's your demon today, snookums?

What's your demon today, snookums?
Also. I wish I knew something about stars. Actually...I wish I cared? (meep), but stars are all far away and stuff
a poem brings them closer, so shuteeee.
I have an easier time connecting with astronomical stars than Lindsay Lohan!
Why the hell would i want to bring them closer? It would rip up the gravitational fields. DISASTER!!!!
I like my stars nice and far away thankyouverymuch
This reminds me of an argument I had with someone about T-rexes, aliens, humans and cake. He argued that aliens were more likely to eat cake, and I argued that NO, aliens are not, in fact, more likely to eat cake. He was approaching it from a homo-sapien centric view when speculating that aliens would look vaguely humanoid like E.T. But I argued how the hell would he know what aliens actually look like, they might look like sofas, for heavens sake. Not to take a furniture-centric view on extraterrestrial lifeform speculation. We at least know that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had oral cavities and could digest similar things that humans also eat, MEAT, maybe the odd vegetable.
I don't know why your statement reminds me of that argument, except well, maybe Lindsay Lohan is the dinosaur and Stars are the aliens....
I'm confused. I'm going to crawl back into my hole now.
So... how about someone posts a long list of constellations and then each person signs up to write a poem about that constellation?
Instead of seeing Orion, I always see like an elephant eating ice-cream or something.
hey what can i say i like structure! ok my only concern was having many poems written on the same constellation. diversity is usually key to a good collection
who cares. 10 poems on orion would be 10 individual poems.
So Steppe and I want to do something. Anyone else?
I know Steppe writes a lot of his poems from photographs. Anyone interested in trying the photograph/painting inspiration idea?
Could be something to do with childhood. No, No, I'm not talking just escapism. It could be "stream-of-conscious", dream, a wonderful or dreadful happening, a place visited as long as it contains in it something to let the reader feel childhoodish about the poem. Something as simple as a red wheelbarrow.
Where do we sign up.
Oh, PNHT, I just want to pinch your little cheekies when I see your sweet face!
So *did* we decide on constellations? We had a few posts, then they sputtered out.
