Write anything, about anything, in the style of Joyces' "Finnegans' Wake". I KNOW that you've read it, or in my case, attempted it. lest you wouldn't have opened this thread. I've tried it, I like it, I'll try it again. The usage and concoction of words, the use of other languages, rhymes and puns are all good fun. *WARNING* Overuse of this style of writing is known to have caused headaches and confusion. The "Corner Pub" seems a likely place to post it. ~wranx The shortest distance between two points... |

Thanks squirrel dude, I figger if just one other poet on this board gives this challenge a whirl, it will have been successful, and it looks like a victim just stepped up. Sven, I'm so happy that you're gonna write a posey for this. I'll write one too, of course. take your time. I watch for it. ~wranx |
