Hey friends,
I am editing this post because it is offending blogger friends. I am not making any change in the post because I am not feeling bad. THIS IS ONLY A GAME. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CREATIVITY. IT IS A GAME ABOUT HOW RANDOM WORDS PUT TOGETHER MAKE SENSE NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE PUT INTENTIONALLY BUT BECAUSE THE MIND IS SO ACCUSTOMED TO CONCRETENESS, THE KNOWN, LOGIC, REASON AND MEANINGS THAT IT FINDS MEANINGS EVERYWHERE. THE MIND WILL REMAIN RESTLESS UNTIL IT HAS PUT ALL THE PIECES OF THE PUZZLE TOGETHER IN LIFE OR IN GAME. IT IS ONLY THE HEART THAT RESPONDS TO THE ILLOGICAL, IRRATIONAL, THE UNKNOWN OR ANY QUEST .....DEAR BLOGGERS I DO NOT MEAN TO HURT YOU....IT IS ONLY A GAME JUST LIKE THOSE FUN-STORY GAMES WHERE THE FIRST PERSON STARTS WITH A SENTENCE AND THE THREAD IS CARRIED FURTHER BY OTHER PLAYERS...
WARNING: IF YOU HAVE ANY IMAGES OF ME AS A SERIOUS HUMAN-BEING OR YOU ARE A VERY SERIOUS HUMAN-BEING YOURSELF , DO NOT READ FURTHER....

The great thing about getting
anything you go after
Only actions give
the other half.....
LAMENESS
All the presidents
in the world of time
Self-importance is
second hand of a clock
Work saves us
World belong to the energetic
Everywhere I go
I win or lose
Sometimes a scream
...one will suffice
Hi friends,
These two poems came out of a game.
There are those who write poems and there are those who applaud. All of us at some point of our lives aspire to write something lyrical.....mysterious....magical...mystical
Now here is your chance to become a poet without the divine vision,without the intuition or that peculiar frenzy of mind that leads the pen.
And to you poetry lovers and readers, dont take offence...its just a game ---- a poetry-fun-game. It was created and started by get zapped. With her consent I am giving it here just to set the game rolling.....
Here are the simple rules of the game...
Go to "wikipedia." Hit “random”or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:RandomThe first random wikipedia article you get is the title of your poem.
Go to "Random quotations"or click http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3
1) Select the first three or five words of the very first quote of the page for the first line of your poem.
2) Then the last three or five words of the next quote of the page is the second line of your poem.
3) Select the first three or five words of the third quote of the page for the third line, and then alternate as above until you’ve made it to the last quote…
Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”or click http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7daysFifth picture, no matter what it is, will be your poem image. This part is optional.
So go ahead and pen down a few lines. You can take this game to your blog and please let me know when you create something...i shall only be too happy to see what you've been upto.

;-)

I don't agree. Poetry is a serious realm of the soul. It has to come from the heart- it is not a 'fun-game.'
Finally, after several revisions, like a painting, it emerges as a real poem like an artist's creation with a genre of its own.
Don't insult creativity, ever!
Do write, but in a more positive frame of mind!
My gawd.. u must hv been reading my mind, ms mind reader.
And if u were gripped by the story...if u liked my narration style...It was worth writing it then.
Thanx so much.
And ur template rocks. Keep it. I love it.
:-)
Though I can't play games with poetry, only with friends. I, finally found your blog, & like most of the stuff!
At the risk of repeating myself, I find more substance when you are being serious in your expression, than when you're being funny!
cheers. :)
i have changed the rules of the game slightly. apologies. :)
i just visited your site.this was great .....and good that you changed the rules...its come out so clean, so cool and meaningful...i loved it. and who sez the rules cant b changed....if there are rules they can b changed....what cannot be changed has no rules.
i just offered the missing links and that the motive of the game is not to insult poetry which is close to my heart too but to share some moments of fun n curiosity n happiness.
anand,
glad u found it fun.
juliana,
yes our minds are wired and thats THE point.

thnx for liking the template. it was just a change of color which i liked too.and i am sooo happy you are back.
get zapped,
i m enjoying what u started.
sanjana
the fun is what emerges in the end.
i apologise to every one whose feelings hve been hurt.
lol.
oh, and btw... i started blogging under my real name (this one) but then a need emerged for another place where i could show my other side... sillier in a way... and i wanted to try my hand at a different kind of writing than haiku, so juliana was born
(at least I with my teacher's eye have been taught to look for glimmers of meaning in a sea of words - like needle in a haystack - and award marks to students. But your random creations do make sense) It's fun...
Poetry does NOT have to be serious!
Poetry is the freedom to write about ANYTHING that your heart and mind desires.
take care ;)
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

And the mome raths outgrabe.

I have a Gumbie Cat in mind, her name is Jennyanydots;
Her coat is of the tabby kind, with tiger stripes and leopard spots.
All day she sits upon the stair or on the steps or on the mat:
She sits and sits and sits and sits - and that's what makes a Gumbie Cat!
-T.S. Eliot
Thanks for your visit to my blog, and yes I have been away for a long time....a long story, but I have posted today.
Hope your well and thank your for your concern, take care ;)
keep well
regards
