Sense no one is making any challenges, i guess ill make one myself.. Here it is: 1. Only 4 words per line, 2. Has to be at LEAST 8 lines. 3. Cant use letters: A, Z, D, and C. 4. Cant use words: Dead, The, Cant, and See. 5. Must not be funny, and must make sense. I dont really think anyone is going to take this challenge, but i thought i'de give it a chance. I wish to become a great poet some day, but it will only come in time. Til then, I shall write my poems, and wait. |

"makes since". /jen/ 'Christianity is the complete negation of common sense and sound reason.' |

That was a lot harder than I thought it should have been. If I could have used an 'a' once in a while, I would have been fine. /pip/Forum76/HTML/002397.html |

I think I can, I think I can. Pretty Kitty Pretty Kitty went hunting For one little mouse. Pretty Kitty brought prey Into my new house. Mouse got on bed. I took my broom. Hit pretty little kitty For bringing mouse home. (You didn't say it had to be beautiful and the kitty certainly doesn't think it's funny. Do I pass?

Yeesh, that was hard! I never realized how often I used the letter D. ~*~ I’ve been something sweet I’ll be something new I’ll be something bitter But something unlike you I’ll be someone wise I’ve been someone’s fool I’ll be someone powerful But never your tool "I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation." |

every time i try to push myself more, i must lose sight of my true gifts. empty lines before me- ever to be full? i hope so, for my impetus burns brightly. for now, i simmer like some forgotten stewpot hoping to be flowing into vessels of kings. |

Wow! You responders make it look so easy!!! Look how in just the one sentence above I used every tabu letter but one...it's easy to stay away from "z."  I might try the challenge, too. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Slothful Morning Waking up in dawn, Yearning for tea scent, I lay my head Beside my infancy dolls. Slothfully I breathe in Then exhale in exhaustion- Today I'm trapped sleepily Within my own bed. ©Feb 23, 2003 ~Every girl has a dream within.

No way! I can't even think hard enough not to use an 'a'... Nice challenge but my lazy brain says absolutely nay.  Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. |
