Poetry Writing Meme

[lost_spook]

I found this writing meme I did once before and thought it was a funny sort of day, and just the time to try again. And I did it! \o/

1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order. (ETA: Whoops.)

1. Blake's 7
2. Sapphire & Steel
3. Doctor Who
4. Press Gang
5. Angel

2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down

I am very amused by your idea of alphabetical order of fandoms.

The demi-drabbles are well done, though - you've managed to convey a great deal in only a few words.

(Reminds me of the 6 word story Hemingway once wrote: "For sale: baby shoes. Never worn." The Writer's Relief Twitter feed people challenged writers who follow them to do something similar recently. I came up with: For Sale: One Axe, needs cleaning.)

LOLOLOL

Or, whoops, I need to re-read instructions, even when I think I know them! But I'm not sorry, the order I wrote them down in (and I did stick to it) turned out to be perfect for each quote.

And thank you! :-) I enjoyed doing this one both times; I'll probably fish it out again in the future.

I came up with: For Sale: One Axe, needs cleaning.

Hah, yes, that's good. :-)

*grins* I concluded you must not have noticed the bit that said "alphabetical order" since it clearly wasn't in that order!

I might give it a go myself at some stage - when I am not in agony.

Heh, thanks. It amused me at the time. If I'd had eight words I'd have put "Needs cleaning and sharpening." :D

For Sale: One Axe, needs cleaning.

WIN.

These are pretty awesome! I'm half-tempted to do this myself, although the possibilities make me somewhat nervous. :)

Thanks! And, do! I'm sure they'd be great - and anyway, what are LJ memes for if not for adapting as wished? (I'm pretty sure I cheated last time, because I got a line of a poem about mackerel and I refused to use it. No meme police came after me... ;-D)

ETA: Also, whoops, apparently I should re-read instructions, because I missed all the alphabetical stuff. *sheepish*

[astrogirl2]

Well, the meme police are surely on their way now. ;)

I may do it later, when I get tired of doing housework and stuff.

[astrogirl2]

Aaaand, I just generated some lines which turned out to be eerily appropriate for the fandoms in question, no cheating required. So, of course, now I have to write them. :)

Those are great, though I only know two of the fandoms. I will try that this weekend.

Thank you! And I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :-)

Love the one with Amy!

OTOH, slightly disappointed that a 'poetry writing meme' didn't involve the writing of poetry, but I soon fixed that.

Thanks! :-)

Thank you! :-) And how funny. (And I enjoyed looking at yours again.)
