2. Your challenge: react to each tracklisting with either a short story, art piece, or photograph. You react to the song title, not the song, but you can ( Read more... )

Hey, wait, so is poetry still free game?

sinistera October 26 2009, 13:29:28 UTC

Oh yes, it is. I'm just a moron and forgot to put it up there (it'll be up there on the community once I start filling things in).

What do you think the regulations should be? I don't want to put 'minimal amount of lines' because poetry should be very ... free. Perhaps the only regulation is "make sure your thought is complete" ... and maybe "if the song has lyrics, I suggest that you not listen to them before writing."

Well, definitely the last bit (re: the lyrics). I guess things get a bit esoteric when it comes to something so friggin subject to interpretation as poetry...because sometimes, a complete thought might not be what you want, but at the same time, by purposefully not completing the thought, you sort of are completing the thought. ...that sounds weird, but Bret Easton Ellis does it, so I am going to blame him.

I don't think a line min/max is necessarily bad. Literary journals and the like do it all the time. I think maybe a max is more appropriate in this case though. As in...let's avoid epic poems. Ezra Pound-ishly short poems, I can see, but...not the Iliad.

Which is to say, maybe the restrictions should be more nebulous?

LOL I love how everything races toward the nebulous end whenever poetry is involved. It's a very paradoxical medium.

I like what you said about having a maximum. Complete thought (or whatever you interpret of that), but only under 50 lines.
