A C P C - 2015/05 New Challenge Poem/Title Contest - Info Comments

apparently the monthly contest is a dying creature. perhaps we should just let it die a quiet death. i bequeath my vote to Brian Johnston. this means YOU, Brian, get to cast my vote for me, if you wish. so either you or i or neither will be the winner! hurray for whomever! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! bri :)

well BJ, this is shaping up to be the battle of the giants! ! ! two contestants bent on destroying each other! NO, I'M NOT talking about 'Kong' and a fighter plane. i'm talking about you and me. perhaps me conceding defeat would be all around easier and less messy? or flip a coin? ? MY coin of course! bri :) p.s. maybe you need to rethink the challenge-premise more, or tweak it a bit, or advertise more? ? ?

hey Bozo Brian, why do you have comments below from february and why is the date for last submission [[for MAY]] FEBRUARY 28TH? ? ! love and kisses, bri :)

i sent one. where is it! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ? ok, i just sent it a while ago. :) bri

ok, it is the 12th of february, the day my (actually yours; i just took the helm for the last two months while you RESTED!) january challenge contest comes to an end. this is the last day to vote and it looks like Darlene Walsh is rushing to the finish line ahead of the herd. i hope someone is going to take up the february challenge. i mean to, and probably will if i don't forget. :) bri

ok, brian, other than the typo in the title of the non-poem poem which is the lead-in to this month's contest [which you will undoubtedly correct BEFORE someone else sees it], here is my first comment. instead of making it easier for poets to join in the contest, you've made it more difficult (I think) by the limitations set for a required poem entry. of course some poets may eat this up, this idea of echoing a poem which THEY haven't written. and you DID give the choice (i think) of echoing one of two or more poems you mentioned. BUT your explanation is not terribly clear to me, especially this part: This months contest requires not only a poem written by you with its own title but a title for the new Echo poem that results as well. i think you are referring to e.g. Being At Choice (the title of the poem written by Brian J.) and On The Right Side Of The Bed (the title of the co-authored poem by Lora and Brian) . NO! i got that mixed up, didn't i? ? ? ? and i don't see Lora's poem, but just the title, and i thought you suggested 'we' write a response to her poem, I Woke Up. i suppose we could do that by checking out her site on PH. and the same is true, i suppose (i really KNOW!) , about your poem about 'bifurcated brian'. hmmm? how many poets will really go for this echo challenge? ? ? it should be interesting. i bet i CAN make a humorous poem! how much ya wanna bet? ? huh? ? bri :) don't forget to correct the typo! welcome back, i think.

Wonderful challenge really in contest. Hope for sure success.
