Poetry Association Official Chat! Hawthorne
 

Welcome.

The revolution will be streamed live.

If I didn't absolutely adore vulgar I'd sign in n have opening lines like

Ohhhhh my balls.


My bad

this is a topical league, right?
or are we legit writing poetry?
I'm cool either way

Its both des. Its both

Is it?

Isn't that the point of the other league?

Anddd, wouldn't it be kind of hard to judge two verses when one was more "poetic" than another that rhymed a lot?

:/

@Razah i was being sarcastic. Its poetry league you got me bro

Yeah, I'm still gonna rhyme tbh.

I'll tone it down tho.

ruff ryders anthem every morning @ 6

you're an idiot.

bitch u ain't shit
put me up against this faggot for poem vs poem week 1

and maybe yeah I just now read the rules and shit and noticed that there's already a topical league

that doesn't mean my poem game isn't fierce

a fifty year old balding white suburbanite talmbout weed that's 'fire' and ham-handedly suggesting poetry's a genre distinct from 'topicals' or battle verse wants to see me in a 'competitive poetry' battle?

i don't like writing competitively (because i suck lol!) and have a life. i bet you'll write something amazingly bland/generic though. i only said you were stupid, which you are. stay frosty.

I can't tell if that was negative or positive!
so, stay frosty also! or hot!
and ok!

satirical poetic prose tbh.

when you say stupid, you mean stupid fresh?

hahaha
peeped that last week. dude played creepy excellently

Good start. Even in poems theres beef

Let these feels push your pens fellAs

poetry to me is whatever you want it to be. whatever you make it. i think you can judge any two pieces side by side as long as there is some sort of rubric for comparison.

just need to decide what this league values in a piece. as long as everybody knows what to judge on, people can just write to their strengths and see what happens.

Go and check out RB's Poet's Society. It's going to be exactly like that, tbh.

@Vulgar

Ill have topics tonight

Can we discuss the unfortunate closeness of the League's acronym (LGPA) to the Ladies Professional Golf Association?

How 'bout write a poem about it faggot.

<3

Lmao

Nothing wrong with lesbian grade point averages.

@Vulgar: Is there only going to be topic/quote-rounds and not set form-rounds such as haikus/sonnettes/etc? I'm thinking a lot of shit that has to do with poetry gets lost in translation without some of these rounds as well, specially for those that don't even know what poetry is may end up just writing some topical shit without being challenged in poetry with strict rules and regulations. Take a look here for what I'm thinking: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/lear...orms-and-types

I was think the same thing. But i also think we should let this season pan out. Let the activity flow in. Then easily introduce these other formats into the weeks ahead. Ofcourse vulgar has the ultimate say.

@Objective

Yeah I think we should definitely experiment with different forms of poetry and introduce some non-poetry writers to it as well. Or perhaps we could have a recurring themed week where you have the choice to use whichever format you choose off of that specific page, or other similar pages with a wide variety.

Good idea.

Let's give it a try in a couple of weeks, as Innovator said.

Im not completely positive I know what my poetry should look like but I'll try to write depending on all the criteria and whatever barricades the league defends.. I'm just going to try to enhance my ability as a writer on netcees

There is no set criteria as to how to how to write poetry.
Or atleast not im this league. Write how you see fit.

Cheers when does next week start

Forget it I just read the rules /laziness

I'll definitely be here for next week

Good to here feel free to vote

Cool bro I'll get to that like a dolphin with crazy fiveforty flips

Just realized that there's a three way... Depending on battlers would u like to sub me in for this week and I'll drop something for this week up to u guys

Okay, I can do that. I'll plug you a battle now.

Thanks.

Cheers

I lik th swift movement

Cheers.
