Gathering of the Figments

Figment · Posted: Fri Jul 06, 2007 7:53 pm Post subject: Cryptic Poems

Ok, so i want you to write a poem... about a book, or movie, or tv show...

Bonus point if you to tell us what it is about, without using any of the character's names, or anything like that...

For example, if you were going to do Harry Potter, Don't use their names, but you can refer to their characters... You could refer to Hermione by her brains, and perhaps her bushy hair... Get what i'm saying?

And of course, if you were to take that extra challenge, you wouldn't be able to refer to Hogwarts, Hogsmead, or anything like that... But you could refer to the cupboard... and the smallest bedroom...

Basically the less indirect information that you give, with the poem still making sense... the more bonus points you will get!

You can PM them to me, or email them to figment_queen@yahoo.com.au

This competition will finish on the 28th of July, at 11:59:59 as the forum dictates!

Good luck guys!

And have fun!

Figgy!

Yay! Yes you can... Very Happy

And in response to your question in the PM, can everyone please tell us what book/movie/tv show it is about... AFTER the poem... So that we can read it and see how it reads and if we know it, and then we can see for sure how well you went with the poem and it's cryptic-ness...

Ironically he never actually went outside of a city his entire life, let alone Droving. phht. Henry Lawson was much more acurate, he didnt romanticise the Aussie bush.

I realized I have an important question: Do any and/or all of these count as names: Ol' Blue Eyes, The Chairman of the Board, The Voice?
