Kyle Aarons Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 I think it would be nice to see non-writing contests for those who don't write. Maybe an artist contest? (there would be something I can assure you I would stay out of, cause I could make a stick figure look bad) I think there is other creativity available so lets get creative on finding ways for board members to express their abilities.

ken barber Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Kyle, I really like that Idea. Something we could work on in the future and maybe if we have a couple of artists out there they may want to do illustrations for some of the stories.

Jeikor Posted December 27, 2015 Report Share Posted December 27, 2015 We now have several people who have posted poems in the poetry section so how about adding a poetry contest with a specific theme. Shayn059 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergrinch Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 A poetry contest?I'm not so sure about that.Haikus are better.---I don't quite think that poetry stands a chanceAdmittedly the genre has its fans.Adherence to tradition is their stance.But finding rhymes can be a maddening danceYou can't write verses with but just a glance.The boring meter puts us in a trance.So might as well book holidays in France.Before you gouge your eyes out with a lance.Or cover them at least with your work pants.Tortured rhymes! Can't wait to hear your rants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeikor Posted December 28, 2015 Report Share Posted December 28, 2015 Poetry does not have to rhyme or be written in a monotonous rhythm. Also haikus ARE a form of poetry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayn059 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 its not that hard to rhyme. I do it all the time. I write verse almost everyday Jeikor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayn059 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 With every word and every letter. There's a sound to make it better.Every sentence and every phrase.Can be said in different ways.A poem is just a song.So just hum and sing a long.

Shayn059 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 I would like to fine someone that can do some art work for my stories. If we had a few artist in our ranks, that would be great. Or even a few musicians that write music. I have a few poems I like to put to music.

ken barber Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I am back from the land of Retail Management during the great Christmas, going into debt and trying to buy more toys for our kids than our neighbor does so our child can claim affluenza when they screw up, season. I like the idea of a poetry contest and a sketch contest. But how would you guys see it working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeikor Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 I would say a lot like we do the story contests now. Have each poem or sketch evaulated on a set of criteria partly based on a given topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Aarons Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 poems... well this is one I can safely say I will have no part of. I couldn't write a poem if I needed to save my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayn059 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'll bet you could. I've read some of your writing and I think its good. You could do it if you try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zergrinch Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Do, or do not, there is no try.Ask not the reason or the why.Fear leads to anger, then to hate.Hate gets you suffering. Such is fate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
