Beat'in round the Bush
Beat'in round the Bush
Beat'in round the Bush

Make your lips go shhs
Make your lips go shhs
Make your lips go shhs

I don't have nothing,
Better to do,
That's why I'm picking on you
I'll stop when you go Boohoo

From time to time, throwing out an unfinished poem for others to continue it is an interesting little experiment/fun thing to do.

But I really would like to see a poem finished. Because that is where the craft of poetry lies.

Finishing a poem is difficult.

If I make it back to school the first thing I will do is take a class in reading and math.. hopefully that will expand my horizons to the point where I'm a better writer...

Pretty much you just add the words "The End," just to make it clear. It's not like music where you have to do stuff like establish a sub-dominant-dominant-tonic cadence or anything.
ZenGum • Mar 27, 2012 6:33 pm
Or you could just write "the nun fainted". ;)
Getgo • Mar 27, 2012 6:35 pm
That cheered me up. Thanks.

You're right it's not like music. But just adding 'the end' does not an ending make.

Personally, I find starting poems very easy. Finishing them can be a bitch.

some reason this thread title reminds me of cunnilingus
JBKlyde • Mar 27, 2012 7:58 pm
cunnilingus


what's that??
ZenGum • Mar 27, 2012 8:02 pm
The application of the lingus (tounge) to the cunare (literally, wedge, signifying the vagina).
Clodfobble • Mar 27, 2012 8:09 pm
Learn something new every day. I'll never look at the word "cuneiform" the same way again.
JBKlyde • Mar 27, 2012 8:10 pm
not at all what i meant..

it was a recycled thought of the after math of the bush administration war in iraq/b'ab'elon.. yes the sexual sensitivity of sadom was rampit but i'm over it..
jimhelm • Mar 27, 2012 8:17 pm
your use of apostrophes is most perplexing.

The way you use them in your poetry....what does an apostrophe do? How are you using them? I'm not being smart. I'm actually curious. do you just think they look cool?

I am disappointed in this thread.

I thought there would be AC/DC.

ACDC don't they sing "highway to hell" and "hell's bells".. that's evil

grammar is a different thing. I'm talking about punctuation. Usually, an apostrophe is used to contract two words or to indicate possession... occasionally to note a missing letter. And, sometimes in names of characters in Sci Fi stories.

I was just curious.

You think that's evil...behold Danzig's "Invocation".

If I'm going to hell for AC/DC, where Ima go for this? Iowa?

They are also valid as a way to identify multiples of acronyms if confusion may otherwise result. I would far rather see DVDs than dvd's, but I admit sometimes it is useful.
ZenGum • Apr 2, 2012 8:09 am
I disagree, Sundae.

A DVD and the DVD's cover.

Three DVDs and the DVDs' cover.

Single, single possessive, plural, plural possessive. Don't cross the streams.

I was thinking about photo's as a plural, and you might argue that the apostrophe substitutes in for the missing letters "graph", but then you'd need to write photo' as the singular form.
Sundae • Apr 2, 2012 12:37 pm
You might disagree, but it is a valid use.
So there.
Gravdigr • Apr 2, 2012 4:18 pm
I disagree with both of ya. But, just for spite.
Sundae • Apr 2, 2012 4:22 pm
Oh FTR - flies don't rot on a dead fish.
They breed.
It's an affirmation of life.

Weren't there Twelve Apostrophes sent out to teach the Gospel?
DanaC • Apr 3, 2012 5:07 am
Actually, there were thirteen, but ya know...nobody ever talks about Kevin.
DanaC • Apr 3, 2012 5:11 am
Reminds me of going to Richard Herring's Christ on a Bike show with J.

There's a bit where having decided he's the second coming he sets about gathering up his disciples. J and I were in the front row:

RH: You, sir (pointing at J), you'd like to be my disciple yes? ...What's your name sir?
J: Judah
... a beat.
RH: Are you lying?

well, to be sure.... but I was merely wondering what the intent was. I use the apostropholon because I'm too lazy to go back and correct it when my finger misses the apostrophe. And I haven't done it in a while. It was from switching from a standard keyboard to my laptop every day. Lately, I seldom post from my laptop... so my right pinky has become more accurate in that respect.


qcc

or should that be...

yes, i actually was reminded of that scene in Reamde. given no other explanation, I'm going to put it down to 'looks cool' and let it rest.
JBKlycle • Apr 9, 2012 7:37 pm
yeah.. you should totally let it r'est

There is a simple explanation for the apostrophes used in the OP.

Here it is.
DanaC • Apr 10, 2012 6:01 am
I don't know why. I know what the joke is. I know what I will find when I click the link. But it's like some strange hypnotic compulsion.

Everytime.
jimhelm • Apr 10, 2012 1:28 pm
