Christine de Pizan Writing
Greetings, Toads!
Today, I would like you to write a double inverse Venetian sonnet using the traditional hexatonic goatameter. Your piece must include two nuns, a priest, a gopher, and a space / time paradox. Please address either universal health care or twerking in the volta.
April Fool's!
How about you just surprise me . . . in 37 words or less.
Honestly, you had me for a SPLIT second! ha ha . 38 "surprise" words seemed, all of a sudden, so EASY! :)
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that was a scary thought I would have to attempt a sonnet of that description...lol
ReplyDeleteahahahahahaha I swear I started reading and thinking: "I can't believe I won't be able to answer to the first day of NaPoWriMo here, this prompt sounds really difficult!"
ReplyDeleteYou got me. I'm writing. I'll be back later. :*
Oh how wonderful. That's the spirit!
ReplyDeleteWe don't have to wish you 'a happy Muse', as you are clearly provided with one already :-)
My surprise is that April is Autumn in my part of the world.. No Spring poetry from me.
ReplyDeleteGot to love that goatameter!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! Love it!
ReplyDelete*All* my poems are in scandanavian goatameter, and the poetic subject of twerking on the volta does indeed lack substantial exploration by our modern writers. Still...not going there. Mine will have to be for tomorrow, as I have already got today's little sacrificial offering to the gods of April up.
ReplyDeleteYikes! At first thought I should just turn and run (since I haven't done this in ages), but the goatameter made me pause just long enough to get to the end! Good one!
ReplyDeleteClever, Mama Zen! I was laughing so hard I snorted cinnamon. Maybe that should be in my poem?! Hail Happy April-oh, damn I hope we don't have hail-I didn't mean it like that!
ReplyDelete22 words for you MZ. If I wrote anything in less than that, it would be a line, not a poem. :)
ReplyDeleteKiss
aww...i couldn't ignore nuns, priests and april fools..thanks MZ
ReplyDelete:D
Priceless!
ReplyDeleteI chose a goanameter rather than goatameter, because I feel that to go on a meter is much better that to go at one.
ReplyDeleteAnd a very happy April Fools' Day to you, Mama Z! :o)
ReplyDeleteOne "traditional hexatonic goatameter" coming right up!!
ReplyDeleteNice one, MZ!!
Thank you for the challenge...I always enjoy "words count!"
Happy NaPoWriMo everyone!! :)
MAN, that was fun. I'm a fool for a good challenge. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy April, ya'll!
Ha. Hi MZ. K.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the 21 words is a surprise? I'm still away from home. I'll be back again and again until I read all ... probably catch up early next week.
ReplyDeleteA little late, but maybe that I actually was able to say anything in only 37 words is a surprise in itself. Two versions of the same poem, one snipped down to the required snapshot.
