2016 AW Poetry Forum Census

[William Haskins]

please check all that apply.

 

[CassandraW]

fuck Ted.

eta:

that damn bastard.

 

[CassandraW]

really? only 28.57% think Ted was a bastard?

I demand a recount.

 

[William Haskins]

only one voter declined to assert poetry's value to AW and to life.

thanks a lot, grandma.

 

[CassandraW]

she probably likes Ted, too.

 

[ZachJPayne]

I need to start spending time here again.

Ted was a prick.

I need to figure out how to become one of those cute Youtube slam poets.

[William Haskins]

no, but she once stabbed mailer in the face with an eyebrow pencil.

 

[CassandraW]

no, but she once stabbed mailer in the face with an eyebrow pencil.

one can hardly blame her for that.

 

[Kylabelle]

Hey, Zach! Yes you do need to start spending time here again. Raise the tone of the place some.

 

[CassandraW]

Raise it? I was thinking we should dirty it up. Maybe we could win over that one outlier who doesn't think we're adding anything to AW and life.

Also, it would be fun.

 

[Kylabelle]

You always think we should dirty it up. Far be it from me to object.

But you gotta admit, Zach here has class.

 

[CassandraW]

Maybe we should have a poll on that. I'm betting dirty wins in a landslide.

I'm doing my part.

 

[Kylabelle]

Dirty versus what, exactly?

Why not construct a poll giving various *types* of dirty as the choices? And write it so it's a poem.

I know you can do it.

It will be so good it will have to be stickied.

 

[CassandraW]

oh, it will be sticky.

 

[kuwisdelu]

What is this place?

Who are you people?

 

[Magdalen]

oh, it will be sticky.

Tacky, too!

 

[CassandraW]

What is this place?

Who are you people?

pfft. I'll bet you like Ted.

Tacky, too!

That goes without saying, of course.


I have a new favorite voter -- the one who feels poetry adds value to life, but the poetry forum adds nothing to AW. Oh, snap!

ETA:

Kuwi? Was that you?

 

[Magdalen]

Thank you, William, for the opportunity to really search my soul on this one (the Ted choice is inspired!) - have I mentioned lately that You, Mr. H, you personally add value to absolute write, and not just in this here forum, bucko! So, anyway, thanks. I hope to have more on that later, etc...

 

[CassandraW]

That's tomorrow's poll, Mag. Don't jump the gun.

 

[ZachJPayne]

My classiness -- and, more importantly, the classiness of my writing -- fluctuates based on my blood sugar and blood alcohol. I come from trashy roots, which makes for some sticky, dirty poetry on occasion.

Hmm. I should call my next anthology "Delusions of Grandeur".

 

[CassandraW]

Shouldn't VOTE_BOT be out there churning up votes for this?

Calling Hughes a prick is far too kind, but yeah.

^ +1 ^

 

[Kylabelle]

i have never visited the poetry forum, and frankly,
am not here now

I wish to vote 0

the underside of invisible
has nothing to say

and is grateful for the opportunity
to say it

 

[KTC]

Ted wanks.
