Hi there!!!

I've decided to do another Member's Challenge.  It works like this. . .

If you'd like me to write a poem about you, all you have to do is post your request here and I will write a poem for you.  (In any fourm except Adult!!)  Please include what you would like the setting for the poem to be and anything else that you think might be necessary for me to know about you.

The last time I did one of these, I had lots of fun. . . so, it you'd like to give me a challenge. . . here's your chance!!!  

Thanks and I look forward to writing for you!!!

(If you'd like to see what the first ones looked like, go to Open #6. . . they're all marked "Challenge #___"!!)

Ok Sven, sounds interesting. Reaching to the depths of my warped mind I have an idea.

Ok the setting is the meeting of Caffine Anonymous where the members are myself, Albert Eistein, Salvador Dali, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and the chair person is a Space Kangroo.

Ok personal info besides the fact that I have a weird sense of humour, I am studying animation in college, I am irish, from the country, fav. books are American Psycho - Bret Easton Ellis, 1984 -George Orwell, Torture Garden-Mirbeau Octave,
Cocaine nights- JG Ballard, and hitch hikers guide to the galaxy-Douglas Adams.

and yes I am an evil sadist.

Sven, please, please, please oh puh-leeease write one about me!  I'll send your million dollar check in the mail LOL      Only if you get a chance, if you find me interesting then write one about me, if you're too busy, then I understand.  Anyways, if you do take on this challenge, you may want to know a little about me, my name is Melissa Phyllis, I love sunflowers and angels/cherubs and butterflies, I am the proudest Canadian ever, I am a student in university studying to become an elementary school teacher because I adore kids and of course I love poetry, and I have a major sense of humour (you can write any other personal stuff about me since you already know a little about me from before) Also Melissa means honeybee in greek, in case you were wondering.  I read some of your dedications in open #6, and Astrea's Song was beautiful!  That is very sweet of you to write about other poets

By the way, Brian Madden's sure sounds challenging

Take care,
Melissa Honeybee

P.S:  One million dollars for you my friend!

I'm willing to give this a shot-
My name is Wren, I like writing, painting, drawing,and just about everything else creative. My hobbies include watching twisted anime, pouring colored sand into bottles, eating pop tarts,decoupage-ing pictures of the Beatles onto my furniture,developing uses for soy products, and painting shoes with nail polish. My faviriot place in the world is Cape Cod Mass.
I know it's a challange, but I'm not sure it's as hard as the first guy who replied!
Thank you so much,
Wren

Ah yes, write about me, but to turn the tables, you must do your research, and seek me out...what I have written, in various forums, open, spiritual, etc.,...

do your homework and see if you hit the nail on the head...

I'm looking forward to this...< !signature-->

Sven, I'd love to have you write one about me as well.  

You and I have chatted briefly on icq and you've read a lot of my poetry.  I think that should give you a good idea of who I am.  If you need any other personal info, check out my websites:  Windows to My Soul (personal website):  www.geocities.com/browneyes7492 or Reflections of My Heart (poetry site) www.geocities.com/paris/musee/9954/

Have a great time!

I am the captain of my soul.

Well, you have really given yourself a challenge here haven't you?  I think I would like a poem about me in Open #8.  

Let's see, I'm a hopeless romantic with a passion for life.  I'm a preschool director with a degree in Criminal Justice (Don't ask how those two go together).  I'm 23 and have lived in the south most of my life.  

Oh yeah, setting...hmmm...Well, Heaven of course.  Where else would you find an angel.
