Congrats cacian. Praise from Dark Muse is no small feat. I liked your entry, as well.
Thank you both very much :)
And the new topic for this minimalist round is:
sensibilty
Good luck :wave:
He's sensible, still he has fun.
When he freaks out and pulls out his gun,
With a rata-tat-tat
All the bad guys go flat
And the worst get more holes than just one.
No Real Mystery
Every Yearbook reads the same:
Sensibility, “most likely to financially succeed”
Why Be, “most everyone’s favorite fantasy”
When you raise your middle finger
do not do it in vain.
Go into a private room
and test your own prostate.
winner, winner, winner
Sense and Sensibility
Sensibility is doing what others think makes sense
Ignoring all your own ideas and thoughts
One day you learn you've become the slave
Of those who claim to be in the know
Test their theories, search the scriptures,
Investigate the claim that they know what is best
Search your feelings, think it over carefully
Your own sensibility then will make more sense

anymore entries anyone haha:)
Actors can play any role
without paying price or toll
I doubt there's much sense in us,
but sure there's much defense in us
and the time's up and the deliberation are as follow:)
YesNo : I enjoyed your piece especially:
With a rata-tat-tat
All the bad guys go flat
there is almost tapping sound in it and the humour is great! the 'bad guys' reminded me of the 'big bad wolf' for some reason.
cafolini : the first piece a real eye-opener and thank you for putting it so cleverly. Poetry is clever. the second short and to the point.Very telling.
Pendragon: I enjoyed the expressions and the wisdom behind it. Very nice. I also liked the title. A Jane Austen twist is cool.
jajdude: An absolute cracker. Short and sharp. Very well done
I have enjoyed all entries and they are all first winners to me but there could only be one and the winning goes to
cafolini for the message delivered in the piece.
Many congratulations cafolini !!!:seeya:
Thanks so much. Certainly, some of the other writings were also winners. I am only glad to win this because I am a minimal speaker in almost anything I write. I think the art of the minimal is to spell a few lines that contain a subject for further research and motivate that research wherever possible.
Thanks to all the winners who participated. Here is a present from my private reserve:
CONSEQUENT HISTORY
Anyone that ever wanted to fly
Had someone backstage warning about the perils of gravity.
Anyone that ever wanted to swim
Had someone backstage warning about the perils of currents.
Anyone that ever wanted to dance
Had someone backstage playing a funeral march.
Anyone that ever wanted to smile
Had someone backstage singing the wisdom of seriousness.
Every slave that wanted to be free
Had a bemaster backstage sleeping on mental laurels and incense.
Yet, the slave always learned by necessity
To put the bemasters to sleep forever in their bed of laurels and incense.
The wings of the museum are loaded with bemasters
Walking around like ghosts
Screaming through the windows from inside
The miserable wisdom returned to lullaby
Their sleeping pill for evermore:
“Rock-a-bye, baby, thy cradle is green;
Father's a nobleman, mother's a queen;
And Betty's a lady, and wears a gold ring;
And Johnny's a drummer, and drums for the king.”
Brilliant just to remind you that it is your return to suggest a topic for the next round :)
OK I think I will relaunch this one
Subject for this round is:
etiquette
Good luck:seeya:
Etiquette's a courtesy
One undertakes when one can't flee.
