note from me: I'm encouraging others to add to this--it's been a while since we had the fun of an add-on poem.  

This can't be completed without your cooperation--c'mon, just add one example? I ask only that if you would like to critique, say it's a critique. *grin* I sometimes to tend to be paranoid when I'm stressed.

Hmmm.

Paranoid.

Word up
Cuz I'm down with that
Three times over
I'll take what's left
To go right
Because you can't go wrong by going right
So keep it on
The straight and narrow
Of the semantic path
Cuz we all want to
See the man tic
Who can't walk the talk

"We'll chase them like rats across the tundra."

Nice! thank you, Andrew, I am greteful.

(A funny thing on the way to the forum though? I'd written the word "hatred" as one of my words and it disappeared...so I left it that way.)

warm smiles hugs and love

I left it open.

*laughing* That sucked, it did.

And sorry Mike, the idea is to offer your own semantic. But thanks for reading.

Intent to invent

It’s U

So do as U please

It was just a word play game, Andrew.

No intent to indict, but a prompt to share introspection.

Could a moderator erase this--it's my understanding I can have a thread locked at any time.

*shrug*

Now I know why this hasn't been done in a long time.

I was not offended in any manner. I certainly did not mean any offence. I was just playing with your ideas and words and this is where I went. Please do not ask to have this removed. My sincerest appologies if I did offend or cause you to question your original intent. Peace. Pax.

As long as everyone is taking it in the spirit of fun and exploration, I don't mind it going on.

Thanks Am, and Andrew. (Consider my previous comment a proactive reaction to the possibility that my actions might spark contractions, and any inaction might be deemed as an action in itself.)

I just made myself go "huh?"



Hey--it makes sense over here. *laughing*

Karen, this is not the same but a word association game if you will. I Found it in an old book I picked off my shelf: Your Creative Power by Eric Osborn. He feels creativity and imagination is more powerful than a college education for some. I tend to agree.

When asked what his hobby was he replied “Imagination”.

[What is a double petunia? A petunia is a flower like a begonia. A begonia is a meat like a sausage. A sausage and battery is a crime. Monkey’s  crime trees. Tree’s a crowd. A crow crowed in the morning and made a noise. A noise is on your face between your eyes. Eyes is opposite from nays. A colt nays. You go to bed with a colt. And wake up in the morning with a case of double petunia].
More like one of those sales men type memory and pronouncement drills.

Personally I think it silly but who am I? He is a professor and has many other talents.
Love ya, jo

You...are one of the wisest, kindest ladies I've ever known.

I've known a few professors too--:ange:?

Most were brilliant, but only in their own field.

Your understanding makes you much more well-rounded, methinks.

It's probably appropriate that I forgot the "ell" in angel.

I'll leave it that way. People tend to fill in the blanks to suit themselves anyhow.

I love you mj.

I would soooooooooooo switch those around, but although I started the semantics game, I don't control the outcome.

And I'm so glad of that.



"ye can be as gods"

um, no thank you.  

I shall remain a mere surf.
