NOVEMBER 2010 Word Prompt

[Linda]

WarpGirl, please don't be upset, I was just trying to be humorous! I didn't mean to upset you at all, because I thought your friends reaction was very funny since most people don't find me scary - not even the neighbor kids at Halloween find me scary.

[WarpGirl]

Oh I'm fine dear, it's just I think other people thought I was being mean. I wasn't just trying to explain how the unititiated can be indimidated trying something new. You're so not scary though you're too sweet to be scary. I didn't want you to think I was being mean.

I haven't given any indication that I thought you're mean. I only asked an question because I understand when some one get spooked about Pon Farr - dark stories - angst stuff - decon. I am, however, surprised when some one is spooked (that means scared, isn't it) by a funny story about childern. That's all.

[WarpGirl]

I wasn't thinking of you Panyasan. Sometimes spooked means Surprised, shocked, unexpected...

[Distracted]

The Bath

Such a shameful waste of irrigation, this
Huge pool of steaming, bubbling, fragrant decadence.
His jaunty grin invites me in.
He extends a hand; strong bare shoulders await my touch
Surrounded by billows of lacy whiteness.
Although Vulcans do not generally indulge in such frivolity,
My clothes come off without conscious thought.
Bubble baths are not logical.
I find this fact to be irrelevant.

[panyasan]

What a sweet poem! I really like how you paint a scene and slowly draw us what actually happens in only a few lines. Well done. I wondered if this was your first poem? (Haven't seen any other poems from your hand).

[Kotik]

Nice one Dis

Although November is far from over, I'd like to thank all people, who contributed to the word prompt this month. Following Aquarius' legacy is far from easy, so I'm happy that people continue to participate, even though a crazy German is now making up the challenges Thank you all, folks

[Silverbullet]

Distracted, wonderful Poem.
Your snese of beauty of language is admirable.

Thanks for the kind words.

Panyasan, if you check my entries in the archive you'll find quite a few poems. On TripT'Polers we had a poetry thread going for a long time, but poetry wasn't allowed in the archive, so when Elessar allowed us to have a poetry section on TriS I transferred quite a few poems there to save them. At one time we had games and challenges going, and we did sonnets, villanelles, even ghazals... but it sort of petered out after a while.

[Linda]

I like Distracted's poem too! This was a fun challenge.
