2009 capt lorax RIP we miss U boo memorial ILX POETRY contest poll

I'm so happy my poem has been anthologized.

Does this count as publication?

2009 capt lorax RIP we miss U boo memorial ILX POETRY contest poll is SO on my personal biblio.

it's on my resume

To publish is to make content publicly known. The term is most frequently applied to the distribution of text or images on paper, or to the placing of content on a website.

The word publication means the act of publishing, and it also means any writing of which copies are published, and any website. Among publications are books, and periodicals, the latter including magazines, scholarly journals, and newspapers.

so congrats you are all published authors now

even you, snitter, you mercurial beast, literary cream of your litter

urgh I complete forgot that I posted a 'real' poem in addition to the one made up of facebook ads :-/

and not only a 'real' poem but a 'real' poem that I removed the last part of because I thought it was stupid but now I realize it's even stupider without it asdfjsaighsao

bernard snowy of the past what were you thinking

all of which is to say: trayce, I feel u bro

i'm kind of sad i didn't finish an ode to l0u1s jagg3r before the deadline. maybe in 2010 i'll be less lazy.

fwiw i tht your facebook ads poem was A+ and wd have srsly considered voting for it

as things stand, nobody is arguing with my current placement, which makes me sad. cmon, more debate!

harbl, i wd still like to see this ode

it's not done yet!

when it is done of course, i am patient man with much longing

"I went to the Donuts a-Dunkin" by EZ Snappin

I liked this one.

"do you ever think about the waves" by G00blar

Awesome too...why did I vote so quickly?

I mean this poem is fucking funny as hell.

I still have a cheque from a pome I was actually paid for in a local literary publication some years back! Never cashed it cos it was more symbolic than anything. Also, $40 is piss.

$40 is AWESOME!!! Frame a high-quality scan of the check and with the original buy a fantastic bottle of wine.

hello beth yes $40 would be very welcome in these quarters also
please try and convince me to vote for you rather than elmo

Hah! A modest amount to purchase true stardom!

the two parts of my post were unrelated, honest

try this on for size:
elmo's had a vibe
beth's had a presence

I haz opinions but am recusing myself in the name of administerial impartiality

I don't think peeps should have to make campaign platforms for their work!

I wish you could vote for more than one. This might result in a tie, but the two winners could then marry and breed UBERPOETS.

Not all pairs are breeding pairs.

IMO Ed III should furtively glance about, cast off his administerial robes and hurl forth his mind's collect

donuts a-shrunkin'.

Is that a lost verse from the Twelve Days of Christmas?

between EIII and Abbott's dog for me, with a dash of Dark Horse Elmo

As an "outsider" I voted for Aimless, but there were many I liked here, and if I had more time I'd outline a few reasons, thoughts, head-scratches. Maybe tomorrow.

thx, now I will know where my vote came from.

I voted for rent A+

I like Beth's.

fwiw i tht your facebook ads poem was A+ and wd have srsly considered voting for it

^^^this killed me dead. life is pretty good once you can get them socks on huh?

That is actually even better, and you sir are a craftsman :D

First stanza was the highpoint imo

Actually, the whole thing's great

thanks dudes! I'm glad y'all enjoy 'em, cuz they're a lot of fun to write.

the sock thing was from an ad for something called "The Sock Genie", which apparently looks like this:

lol waht

really tempted to go thru all of these (except mine) with reviewing pen in hand, if only to spark some debate

people with hip problems/replacements can need help putting on socks and shoes. just sayin.

yeah I get that, I just can't really figure out how it works

For me it's a toss up between Retinal and TUESDYAS. But damn elmo, that really is good.

poetries, good for what ales ye

And thought I would buy me a munchkin.
When asked to describe
What they were to my eyes,
I said they were donuts a-shrunkin'.

I think of this at least daily.

It is my only poem, composed while wasted at the establishment in question. I remember reciting it in my best Irish accent (which is quite horrible) and there was much rejoicing. Then they threw us out.

my new lady friend has me writing poems again

aw that's sweet

remember folks, this poll closes, brokencyde album comes out, world ends

plz vote
