Oh God. I’ve already been brutal once today. I’ll be delving for the wire coathanger next. :eek:
Your timing is good for me ;) I’ve just spent a weekend surrounded by loads of little ice hockey boys from Britain, Sweden and Norway. Off-ice, fashions in clothing were similar, but you could...
RainbowGurl, it doesn't matter what other people do. Be safe. Wear a helmet. Be safer. Wear bright clothing. Be safer still. Enquire about training.
I wasn't going to be harsh, but I will be, because this is a subject close to my heart. I used to instruct people to ride motorcycles. I've...
The boys were runners-up, having played Slough (overall winners; well done!), and Sunderland [English teams]; Kirkcaldy [the other Scottish team]; a Swedish team; and a Norwegian team.
I didn’t DO anything, except swipe a proud tear from my eye when our semi-final went to penalties and my son...
Poet. Would you be so kind as to allow me to tuck your poem into a small corner of my computer?
I won’t tell a soul, if you won’t :o
Oh, and does it have a title?
Third Man Girl
Who me? :p
btw. What does the sticky-out tongue smilie really mean? :confused:
:) I know to Smile, when happy,
:( Frown when I am sad,
:D Big Grin when I'm laughing,
:mad: And scowl when I am Mad.
But when should I be sticking out my tongue? :p
Third Man Girl
Yes. I still want to know. :)
PS. I didn't know about 'Pull back the Curtains' being random lyrics from a random musical either :o I don't go to random musicals. They do that all-singing-all-dancing business and it can be quite off-putting :(
Third Man Girl
I didn't explain myself well. And the stupid joke didn't help. :(
On a serious note: I meant that when you read the poem, you become the first person, don't you? ie the reader becomes 'I'.
So, I assumed that when a male reader reached the line, 'I see you around with another girl', this...
1. No
2. Well . . .
3. No – no! Stop it – slap! SLAP!
Okay. Quickly. Because I’ve got two ice-hot days of hockey ahead and I need to sleeeeeeep.
1. No. This character is a natural-born bad guy. Dour, silent type. A no-regrets type ;) His brother is not a main character, so don’t get...
Ashlea is a sweetheart. Ask Wolf :)
And Martin is a devil. A big one, who takes up a lot of Mini space.
I’m still struggling with novelist. That implies someone that knows what they’re doing. What about a randomfiendishthoughtsproducer? Or a directorofwickedplots? Or a...
"Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part. "
Ashlea. That is brilliant. Love it. :) :) :)
Afterthought: When are you going to stop reading, and show us your writing?
:) :D :cool:
Third Man Girl
Please :o I believe you joined this forum after my thread/poem ‘Crimson Tears’ went missing, in which I explained that I am not a poet, but write through the eyes of my characters.
And, I’m not a novelist :o :o. I am writing one book, for myself, about the characters who have lived in my...
I see them as being too perfect. I would be drawn to the one with the broken wingtip, or the one with the mischievous glint in its eye. Or what about a group of them stomping on their harps? Or using their harp-strings as trip wires?
Oh dear. Angels . . .
:) :) :)
Third Man Girl
No! Don’t change anything. It’s your poem. And the snake analogy is my fault! It reminded me of a passage from the book I’m trying to write (please, don’t laugh).
