Rewind: Renaissance Next poetry comp UPDATE

[DangerMouse]

Members of Renaissance Next may remember our poetry comps.

I was the very proud winner of one of the first competitions with a poem called Map of Touch.

Well I am please to tell interested parties that my poem - slightly tweaked - along with another is about to be published in a book. An anthology of international poets.

The poems are actually part of a fantasy story I'm writing entirely in poetry. I submitted them to the publisher as a 'tester' to see if anyone would like them.

Very cool.

Actually, I wrote several poems for the contests over at Renaissance Next. But it was during last years 'dark' period so I haven't revisited them in a while. I don't think I ever won though. I know there was one I was particularly proud of.

Maybe we could repost them here? I am not sure you could DM with copyrights and all but I would love to read them again.

^^ We can have a Poetry Thread here. You can also RePost at ReNext if you want.

That's great, DM. Congratulations.

Now we need information on the book, so we can buy it. And you need to get yourself over to ReNext to bask in your well-deserved glory.

Unfortunately, all those Poetry Contests were before the Apocalypse, so all that information is lost. Those were good times, though.

Here's my poem:

"To You Know Who You Are!"

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You're a big head
So ha ha fuck you!

"To You Know Who You Are!"

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You're a big head
So ha ha fuck you!

I was moved.

Congrats! I always knew you were multi-talented. ReNext is a great place to test out new ideas, thoughts, and artistic expressions.

As were most, I imagine. They probably can't even put it into words.

Is it Renaissance style poetry?

I wrote a long BSG Shakespeare spoof that RDM loved, but it was longer than Hamlet when only halfway done.
