Winter FYI -- I've got lots of dates opened for this year. Just send me a PM or an email if you want one, or send me a list if you want to contribute anonymous prompts. I've still got a few left from last year, that I use too Also, remember there's no right or wrong. Poems, artwork, whatever inspires you.

....I'd just like to mention that this prompt is perfect for one of my bulletproof kinks in fanfiction... hypothermia/snowed in/sharing body heat. Who's with me?? Lalala...I'll just be over here...

That sounds very interesting. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with Lunulet. How about a picture to illustrate it?

*sits and waits with popcorn for whatever Lunulet comes up with*

hee hee hee, you could be right there EW, any volunteers?

Short and sweet KT. Can't the poor man get any rest?

I haven't written any poetry in quite a while. Long before laptops or household computers. Perhaps it is time to start again. With apologies to Carl Sagan, of course. Winter The frozen cold brightness of a billion stars shining down Rivaled only by the silent, glittering gleam reaching up.

so you're not volunteering to keep him warm then K2? well, you've beaten me in the brevity stakes this time.... nice piece, even from an uncultured swine who thinks all poetry has to rhyme!!

LOL, Springie had that idea a few years ago. That's how we ended up writing the Snowbound series with Gatch Girl. Still, there's nothing to prevent a new take on it!

K2, very nice! I'm not sure I could even try for something that beautiful. KT, Joe feels about winter as I do! Now we know why it never seems to snow in Utoland... the Team doesn't like winter!

Excellent imagery, K2!

I don't think you needed the apology, though. (Now, if you'd said "Billllllyuns and billllllyuns", that would have been a different matter!) KT, I think my eyes are a little frostbitten now....

Hmmm, pardon my ignorance, but I'm with Nambu on this one.....surely I'm not going to be forced to watch reality shows!

Um.... I don't get it? What is 'honey flu flu'? Sorry, EW, I guess I'm ignorant.

KT, in this case ignorance is bliss. Honey Boo Boo is the Redneck version of the late Jon-Benet Ramsey.

Just googled both them..... EEEK

KT love the piece, and it expresses what I hear so many people feel about the season. K2 - Wow, I wish I could show as much with as few words as you did. EW - All I could do is groan. I know just enough about the show to know I really do not want to watch it. But then I am one of the few people who doesn't like reality TV.

CD - You're not alone.....

I do know I am not alone .... I find it very unusual to find someone who does not watch at least one reality show. Glad to see I am in good company with you KT.

CD, the only thing more fake on television than Pro Wrestling is Reality TV (heck even Fox News might be more real; slanted, tilted, biased, but still real).

What a groaner, EW...That was painfully good.... The real shame of it all, at least to me, is the whole devolution of The Learning Channel, the cable network where shows like Honey Boo-Boo appear. Originaly TLC was founded by scientists and others in order to promote education and learning....some of them from NASA and the Dept of Education.. Haven't seen the show in question myself, as we've never had cable televison.

Same here! But I do research things when I see a lot of references to them in a variety of places. Also, note, I was not trying to diss pro-wrestling. As a competition, it is completely fake, but for some it does hold entertainment value, and I do think of the performers as not only athletes, but some of them are competent actors too. It just really don't get into it at all.

In all honesty, I don't watch any TLC programs. However, SOOOO much of Honey Boo Boo has leeched into the shows I do watch that I often find myself wishing I could build my own monstrous mecha to utterly vaporize that network! (I swear, if I turn on the news and find another story about which interviewer's set was destroyed by that over-stimulated, undisciplined punk.... )

KT: Hehe, I bet that sums up living in one of those trailers pretty well. Especially Joe's attitude toward it. k2p2: A respectable bit of poetry, that. (I never feel particularly qualified to comment on poetry, but it was nice.) EW: Hehe. I think I know what you're riffing on from teaser ads for the show, but I've never watched it.

KT-hee hee...I've had a few good courses in poetry. My favorite being Walt Whitman of the Americans. Other than that, I don't know what else to do with it other than read it and enjoy! TJ-Thanks..I always tried to aim to 'paint a picture,' in one's mind with my words. (I am such a child of the seventies) EW-Thanks! Especially from as a successful poet as yourself. CD-Thanks! I really have to work hard on the 'showing,' bit. Chris-Glad you enjoyed it...nuthing deeper hidden in it then just the sights and sounds of a nice walk on a snowy night.

My mind went there too TJ... and I agree the more stories the merrier

KT, I like the short version of the Condor waking up... maybe he wouldn't mind crashing here and we could keep each other warm (darn it's bitterly out there) k2..very fitting poem EW, I must say that when I see an advertisement for that show, the mute button can't activate soon enough, still I had to laugh a little at you snipet, especially the way the stupid flu seems to be coming with a vengence this year.
