The time that you've taken in setting this up is appreciated. It's great to see that it's moving forward.

You're very welcome. I want to make sure that your baby is well looked after and done right. Again, thank you for all the work you did getting this challenge started.

There's now a sticky at the top of the poetry forum titled LM Poetry Challenge and provides a link inside to this forum.

Bistro?

Couldn't we have had something more fitting, like a seedy bar or a Chinese opium den?

Attribute the appellation to my atrocious attempt at alliteration.

See, I'm horrendously bad at it.

Poets' Pisshouse?

Rhymers' Rombustuous Rotunda of Revulsion?

Versifiers' Veritable Vaginal...

No, thinking about it, Bistro is good!

Though when I read the word "bard", I think of Shakespeare, who I can be fairly certain never entered a bistro.

Bard is a druid term, still used, relating to poets who traditionally veiled the Druid mysteries in their verse. End of trivial pursuits session

The bloke who played Ken Barlow in Corrie was a druid; I saw him at Stonehenge in the murky past. He was blowing some horn thing, I was tripping. We didn't speak; I thought it best not to. That was the year I told some Druid bint with a large chest that she could have health, wealth and happiness if she'd let me violate her pooper.

Ah, those new age days.

I just knew that we were sure to get some intelligent chat going here.

What is an LM poetry challenge exactly?

Just a formal version of Baron's poetry contest.

This seems as good a place as any to say thanks for your votes for my poem and the other winners,congrats. To Baron for getting it started, to selorian and cran and pete and ilasir foxee and all the others I have missed for all the efforts to set this (the above) up for all of us poets here. I really like the judging criteria and will print it of for my writing book, so as to have a good guide to make poems by. again thanks, huni

Thank you, Huni. I hope that the LM Poetry Challenge continues to be as fun and exciting for all of our poets as it always was in the Poetry forum.

Which brings me to:
The next challenge is officially underway.

I was a few hours late in posting it, due to being under the weather and entertaining in-laws over the weekend, but it is up now.

The theme for this challenge, as submitted by Baron, is theatre.

Also, give a round of applause to your judges for this round:
Ilasir Maroa
rcallaci
Pete C
Shawn

My personal thanks to each of them for graciously agreeing to judge. All four of you rock to the extreme!
