Round 5 - Season 5

ROUND 5

.

.

.

.

 

 

 

Poets: Desire, Dk akaLunaticSerene, Kris, Ktulu Blackwolfe, Laura Lamarca, Soccer-Freak-Tyler, Whispered Devotions, wolfspiritguide

 

 

Elimintated: The Risen Sun, x Empatic Rose x, Scarlet Ambrosia, slippersun, TeenPoetDude, Lady-Pegasus, Frodofan

 

 

 

 

First and foremost, let me show you why there was not four eliminations this week:

 

“I hope you *might* take into consideration my plea for mercy on the Poets ~

We have lost ( 2 ) this week as it stands.....( 4 ) would just be.........well.....it would be sad ~

Bear pleads Mercy!”

 

 

 

 

 

That was part of a message from the very judge that some felt it was okay to talk trash to!

 

So, we have all had our attitudes adjusted and so forth, is everyone ready to rock on?????!!!!!

 

Let’s roll.

 

 

This week we want a mirrored poem. You all will be given one heavenly virtue, and one of the deadly sins. You are to write a very personal piece this week.

 

Genre

Form

All of this is up to you. I will not assign those, simply because I want this to be very personal and very deep!

 

How you set this up as far as presentation will be up to you. The most creative poet (my personal opinion) will receive a bonus!! Plus the top three will all get to join a contest for extra points.

 

Here are your virtues and sins:

 

 

Desire: Pride/Justice

 

 

Dk: sloth/fortitude

 

 

Kris: lust/hope

 

 

Ktulu: Wrath/faith

 

 

Laura: greed/charity

 

 

Tyler: envy/prudence

 

 

Whispered: gluttony/ temperance

 

 

Wolfspirit: Lust/hope

 

 

 

 

 

Good luck poets.

DEADLINE: Thursday August 2, 2007 @ 9:00 p.m.(est)

 

 

 

 

Oh! Please note that we have another judge… Scarlet Ambrosia! Please all welcome her to the group.

    The Pitfalls of Magnificence

    prompt:
    sloth/fortitude

    This was truly a brilliant prompt for me. I took the results of the last rounds effort very much to heart. So while #1 would be outstanding, I have to say, this round I have placed a higher expectation on myself, pushing myself to STRETCH...hopefully this will lead to living up to the higher expectations of others!!!

    Welcome aboard Di.

    Envy and prudence..

    I don't know exactly what prudence means
    Which definition are you looking for?

    1. practicality: good sense in managing practical matters
    2. tendency to avoid risk: a tendency to evaluate situations carefully so as to avoid risk
    3. frugality: careful management of resources

    Once I know what the word means--or--which definition you're looking for I'll get started right away.


    I'm aiming for #1 this week.

        Thanks for replying back!

        I thought they all tied into each other a bit.. but I wasn't sure, but I want to get it right so I just wanted to ask. Better to be safe than sorry, right?

    I honestly was not sure how this was going to work for me, Melanie and to be quite frank, not to sure it made sense to me xD Either way, here goes - best thing I could come up with.
