Rescue Poem

[Phoenix]

I was thinking - do you all want to create a poem to encourage people to rescue?

(If there are more yeses than nos in the poll then this thread will be used to create the poem)

[dandysmom]

Creating art by committee, so to speak, isn't easy. But hey, why not give it a try; will it be traditional verse, i.e. rhyming and scanning, or free verse?

[Phoenix]

Free verse :D

I think it would be better if those who were interested (and talented!) wrote their own poem or verse and the separate poems could be collected together.

I have to agree with Eileen that writing something collaboratively is quite difficult.

[dandysmom]

I can do haiku, that qualifies, I think .......

[Phoenix]

One verse each member sound OK to everyone?

[dandysmom]

Yes and no ...... have already done two..........

[Phoenix]

Hows about one verse each but people can do more if they like :D

[dandysmom]

OK by me .......

[Gladys]

A poem's a good idea, and we're on mostly yes' in the poll.

How do we pull it all together?

[Phoenix]

Everyone posts what they wrote then we shuffle it round so it looks good, transfer it into a new thread and it's done :D

I think one of the mods should start the new thread :D

[Elaine]

So is there anything happening with this or is it pie in the sky?;)

[Phoenix]

We can do it if the other members are happy to work on it :) We need another vote though (have to vote on this thread because the poll above is closed)

[Elaine]

I vote NO, but just wondered what was happening with it as there are many threads started with suggestions that never come to anything. There are still unfinnished articles etc.

[Phoenix]

My idea was all work on the poem together (those that want to) then let a charity use the poem to encourage people to adopt a long termer out of their care.

(If you think it's a stupid idea anyone then this is the time to say)

[dandysmom]

I never thought it was a stupid idea, I just said art by committee doesn't work well. And I did suspect that it would probably come to nothing; Catsey people tend to talk things up a bit and then it drops, like the tee shirts, for one. And the only reason we got the Catsey calendar was that Matt was VERY pushy .... thank God ..... wonder what has happened to him and his cat. Don't get discouraged, keep thinking of ideas to help the rescue; one of them may click! :D

[Elaine]

I didnt say it was a stupid idea but I agree with DM and I simply dont have the time nor the creativity at the moment.

[Phoenix]

OK fair enough Elaine and DM :D
