Oh my gosh! I'm glad I stopped by - those were all so great!
I have a new "topic" contest to propose. My topic is "Spring Fling". This topic can encompass romance in the animal kingdom (mating etc). It can include the Rites of Spring (bacchanalia or other festivals). It can include fertility in the Plant kingdom. It could include human romance. A combination of any two or three would be great!
Thank you, thank youOriginally Posted by cacian
and the winner is
Joe!!
a beautifully rhymed piece
Sounds like a great subject. I, however, had something else in mind that would change the current tone of this thread a little. Let's tackle one of the fundamental aspects of the human condition.
Beer!
Fire at will, people. I will choose a winner a week from now.
I think Spring Fling might be more apropos given the season. Maybe give the Spring theme a whirl, then let's do the summer beer gulp!
I don't think people on the East Coast of the US (or the Southern Hemisphere for that matter) would quite agree, there.
A poem to start the "Spring Fling" contest! I agree that Joe's "beer" contest should be next. Let's cruise through the spring initiation, then move on to Joe's Beer, summer fest!
Spring Fling
Spring's fecund signs the canvas shades
coordinates spliced on petals, blades
mellow sun casts fawning eye
fertile streams from tissues sigh
mercurial colors bud in lustful lens
paramours buzz o'er pollen gins
pheromone scents waft in warm breeze
stag nostrils the ovulating vapors seize
damsel's lilac scent male libido chases
brawny limbs silky parameter traces

So you have simply decided that we are doing this topic even though this is not how this thread works and the only person who replied to your suggestion (me) did not agree. That was kinda rude, don't you think?
Remember, Cacian did not win the last contest. The precedent of the winner establishing the next topic was lost, and I did give my idea first. You did not come through with a new topic after you won her contest. All I am saying is let's do my proposed theme, then do your "beer" theme contest. I do not want to create any controversy. I think that you submitted an excellent poem to win the last contest. I had an idea of a Spring- related topic. I guess that the litnutters can go with it or not. I was not trying to rein in on your parade. I saw that nobody had proposed a new theme, so I jumped into the fray. I am sorry if it offended you.
Yes, Cacian bumped the thread but that was after 2 and a half months of inactivity. I have only been 9 hours late. Not quite the same. While I still agree that Spring is a "fecund" subject as you beautifully put it, I don't appreciate being co-opted this way.
Apology most definitely accepted. I realize it may sound like I overreacted but it felt to me like we were talking and you suddenly turned your back on me and decided to have your way regardless. I realize now that there has been a misunderstanding. Would you agree to let Cacian arbitrate by choosing one of our two topics for us?
Oh, what?
virtuoso, respectfully, Joe's position makes a lot more sense.
When a game thread is abandoned by members for a long time, then someone comes and starts it with a new topic, that's totally logical - and, seeing as we are a little ways further. .
I mean I could go back and look for who was it that was the judge when it got abandoned, but that seems superfluous.
Hope you all are still friends
not that I'm anything but another voice, albeit one with no stake, but unless I got it wrong it seems pretty simple...? so let's get on and play on beer?
Nik and Joe are correct, Virtuoso. Your topic will have to wait until you win a round. Or you could start a Spring Fling thread, if you like.

Ok, if you really want to right poems on "Beer", then go ahead. I have written my poem on Spring. It is your choice. "Beer" seems like a superfluous topic. I do not see any poems yet. But enjoy your beer fling!
Yes, I would agree, if you want Cacian to choose that is fine. I think that the other Litnutters would prefer the "Beer" topic, so go with it!
The growler’s empty. I will go
To Pete’s and have it filled again.
An ale or darker? I don’t know.
Jane smiles and pulls the tap as though
Her heart were also flowing in.
