FOUR LINES CONTEST-- REAL THING NOW POSTED! AND A GAME..

Blog Posted by Nette Onclaud: 6/6/2015 12:59:00 PM

this is ridiculous... i posted a new challenge only to find out that the text , rules, and pictures were not included.. to those who have entered, kindly revise your pieces...

the main body goes like this, and so on...

write a NEW four-line poem wherein you take the last word of each line and begin it with the next .. maintain the meter using 8 syl per line…

example:

Robins chant of a twilight’s grace

Grace that awakens field’s new morn;

Morn swathed by bamboo glades, dripping

Dripping on Aurora’s tresses.

Nette, thanks for sharing example of four line poem. You've inspired me... About movie i can watch over and over again? "Dr Zhivago" comes to mind "To Sir With Love" and, "The Liberation of L.B. Jones" to name a few.

June 8, 2015 at 7:52 PM

'It's a Wonderful Life'...Directed by Frank Capra - Starring James Stewart and Donna Reed has long been a Christmas tradition in our family...

June 15, 2015 at 11:23 AM

tes!.. an all-time fave and also mr smith goes to washington!

June 8, 2015 at 8:05 PM

My ALL-TIME favorite: 'The Godfather Part I'...Brando was Brando and Pacino was quietly VISCIOUS, especially in the scene where he confronted Carlo about Sonny's murder...

Dear Poetry Daughter, Nette Hope this finds You and Yours Healthy and High in the Spirit. My Favorite Movie, that I could watch continuously on replay is;Dr. Zhivago LOVE YOU ALWAYS and FOREVER YOUR Liege...Harry

My favourite movie not very many out there now so I will go back to the first movie I could cry and fall in love with the star all over again--- was O'l Yellar! (sp.)? And the dog was the star alongside his boy master...I was eight at the time. Ah young love!

June 15, 2015 at 11:26 AM

June 6, 2015 at 8:58 PM

yes, Nette, I have informed Soup of what is going on with contests. just wish it would get resolved. Did you notice that once you put your info up and it disappears, you can go back and re enter it and it comes on?? Well, I hope it is still like that, for when I do my next contest. Good luck. Oh, a movie I can watch again and again. There really isn't one since my goal in life is to see all movies ever made, but if forced to, I could sit through West Side story a few times!! My first all time fave musical.

June 7, 2015 at 2:20 PM
