Scavenger Hunt! The time has come, my poetic friends For a hunt through forum halls This poem will be the map for a Scavenger hunt within these walls. Each verse will hold a clue or two To a post that you must find Then post the list of what you’ve found It’s a challenge for your mind! The winner will get a prize of course A spot of honor on my web site But remember, the first one to win Must get every answer right! And now we begin: The forum that is just for rants Holds the key to question one The destination of this group Told tales of mirth and fun. Page twenty-one of Teen Forum one Holds the key to your next clue Tell me who is the author of “Would You Love Me Too” The question of envelopes Was posed in this forum proud What was the question asked and Where was this post allowed? The words “respect and tolerance” In this “place” are all the rage What is the name of the ‘place’ and What’s the last word on the page? The forum layout is really cool We love this passionate blue But if you feel blue you should go To this specific “forum” too A Philosophy is good to have Life is dull without a plan Who asked about love, with 34 replies? And what’s the name of that man? Working on your craft is easy In the workshop for poetry You’ll have ‘Victory through Defeat’ Give me the last word replied ‘poertree’ I ‘suggest’ you run on over To find the clue in this thread How many posts are there, For this you may use your head! By now you need to relax To go here for a little brew What are the moderator’s names? And the real name of the dragon too! Who is the poet who wrote of an Angel Standing on ‘Tippy Toes’ to see How many replies she would get As she’s stuck in Open 3 This next clue is obtuse It’s really poetry and more What’s the first line on that page This clue should even the score Who could be “critical” of this member He’s a ‘pure poet’ in jester’s disguise What’s his name now hurry up If you want to win the prize. Plankster3 at AOL dot com Asked a question about a poem Who was the author of that piece? Answer quick, you’re almost home! Now for easy questions my friends List the names of the moderators here But also tell me how many of them Have been here more than a year! Who wrote a poem called ‘Ache’ In the forum that’s opposite of light In that same place, what is the last Sentence in the question on the right? Ron wrote a script to save thinking about What to type when he wanted to laugh What’s the phrase and how many ways Can you smile in one paragraph? Over in the Alley is an ‘idea for Ron’ How many cats are pictured in that thread Then find the ‘bear’ and his question What was it that green bear said? We’re coming down to the wire Not much longer till we’re done How many total topics in the archives Add each and every one. Find the last rhyme our leader wrote And tell me the time of reply 38 Don’t forget to read it by the way ‘Cause the poem is really great How many pics can you find to choose To send an angel a passion’s ecard? Check it out, and you will find The answer isn’t too hard. All the pages at Passions are viewed By poetry readers everywhere Go to the page where you see the count Now, what is the color of page views there The scavenger hunt is at an end It was fun rhyming this for you Now post your answers to this quest That’s all you have to do! Oh, yes, just one more thing I need Before you can be on your way What’s the name of your favorite poem And what does LoveBug’s signature say? Have fun and good luck!!! One and only one rule..no moderators allowed to answer!!!  [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (edited 07-07-2000).] |

Sharon OUCH my brain is hurting. it is 11 pm here, do I get extra or sympathy points for time differences or for general insomnia. LOL I might see what I can do with this treasure hunt tomorrow. I will sleep on it  A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

This sounds like a fun idea, Sharon. If I weren't moderator, I'd try it! Good poem, too! Elizabeth I'm grabbing my hat and coat I'm leaving the cat a note Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town! |

Geesh, Sharon - give you a little free time and this is the result... I recall all of these, but it'd still take me awhile to track down all this stuff... You need a second job, I think... Good work here - It'll be fun to see who wins... |

Arghhhh....Sharon, I love this, I've started, .....but, couldn't finish....yet! Now, the problem is, I have to go to a conference and will be away from ANY computer for the next 4 days, arghhhhh again.....The withdrawal is going to be, well, bad. Anyway, I would have loved to have given it a shot, but, probably before I've even gotten out of town one of these brilliant poets will have conquered the challenge. Good luck all...... Bonnie |

Jeffrey, my dear, you did a great job but... there are a couple of these that are wrong.. I can't tell you which ones..as that would give away the game...You could still win if no one else comes up with MORE right answers! Thanks for playing!!! |

Ok, being that my math skills aren't what they used to be I went back and added up the total topics for the archives again and, low and behold, I came up with a different number 26,323 total topics and seeing as how I had two answers for the jester question I'll take another stab at it could it be "fool" I ask? You guys should give this a try it really is fun Thanks Elizabeth [This message has been edited by Jeffrey Carter (edited 07-08-2000).] |
