New Game - Fishing For Poets!

This is a fun new challenge I’m putting forward to all the regulars in the AW Poetry Forums.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go forward into the AW World and fish for a member not accustomed to swimming the Poetry Forum waters. You get to push, poke and prod that member to come back to this thread and post a poem on any topic, in any style. Use Reps or PMs if need be. Pleading and begging will also be allowed. Don’t forget to give them the password when directing them back here: citrus

HAVE FUN! Anything goes but hair pulling.

If we catch any ‘fish’, don’t forget to encourage their craft by commenting on their contribution to this thread.

Go forth, you fishers of men. Bring us your reluctant poets, your dreamers, your un-huddled masses.

I’m officially declaring MARCH, 2008 as the FIRST ANNUAL MARCH INTO POETRY MONTH at Absolute Write!

Nice, Cass...I loved 'dreams echo in empty rooms' and 'sorrow's burden more than I can bear'. Thanks for jumping in and being the first willing victim...er...participant. I'm glad you spread your wings.



If anybody else is reading...go forth...find a new poet!

Wonderful offerings, guys. I'm glad you broke the ice and jumped on in. I think poetry is a very important instrument capable of improving all the other types of writing a writer does. It's like a goalie stretching before a game. Exercise to help your word manipulation powers. Thanks for joining in. Now that you have contributed, feel free to grab another non-poet non-posting-poet and drag them in.

Thanks again! Great work.
