Fill up this charm bracelet by first making a list of five possible charms that you would add. Title your list only as "My Charm".
Each contestant must then go around to each other's lists to find the charm of their choice and claim it. When you find the charm you want, state that you are claiming it in the person's comments and then retitle your poem with the name of your charm.
Each type of charm can only be claimed ONCE. In other words, there should only be one poem called "Horseshoe" when we get done. So try to make your lists different.
After 12 charms are claimed, I will let you know it is time to write your poem. Please transfer your list to your author's notes and write your poem within three days of closing.
This Victorian Parlor game is dedicated to azure85 whose silver charm http://allpoetry.com/poem/4119063 in my last Victorian parlor game inspired this one.

im confuesed,
do we claim one from each list or just one total? -
-
You only claim one and that's the name of your poem and the inspiration for it. Feel free to comment on other list items if they tickle you, though.
-
-
i guess we should wait till all the places are filled
-
-
Not necessarily; if you see one that grabs you, better grab it.
-
-
"PLEASE BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR LISTS! NO MORE HEARTS, ROSES OR CROSSES!" So, it's not supposed to be "our" charm bracelet? Just a creative one?
-
-
I want there to be a wide variety of charms to pick from - I didn't anticipate that those would be so popular. (sorry)
-
-
We're supposed to write a poem about what the charms mean to us, or does claiming another's charm for our title have something to do with the poem?
-
-
You title the poem with the charm you pick and write it however it inspires you.
-
-
Sounds simple enough.
-
-
-
