The letters P, R, D

P: for parts of me with passion
Pulling me powerfully
Propelling toward pleasure

R: reserved to my responsibility
Rebound for my resilience
Relying in my reasoning

D: Desire that drowns me in distraction
Daring to deny myself the decadence
Of devilish deception

Ok, now I pick two random letters and then one of the three that I just used for the next person to use. Then that person will write and then give 3 letters to the next writer as described above. The reading audience (or participants) can give their opinion, based on the letter used By both writers. The audience may share their opinions as to what writing they believe was the most creative in using the random letter etc.

It really is a great way to test and grow your creativity, skill, and style! You have to stretch sometimes!

Hopefully I'm following your directions correctly...using letters W,B,D

Ancient towering Willows
marquee over the winding canal
its worn banks silently fallow now.

Railways bustle in the distance
accentuating modernity-
businessmen barter for material decay.

Declination's within transportation
reaping and changing landscapes direly-
leaving nature defied by man in her entirety.

(I've tried these kinds of games before... I seem to basically suck at it... But looks like its one of your strengths, ProudLeo.)

Beloved or Berated
Born belated
Borrowing bounty from before

Lust lingers; love listens
Left lowly lamented; longing
Listless, lofty, lacking

Nonsense never notices
Newly noted novelties
Nuisance nearly nullifies numerous needs

Ok...if there were a "win" to this game stanza 2and 3 would do it...all words starting with the letter for the stanza and the words flow together to have meaning (I hope! Lol). It can be tricky but fun!

Ellyn... that's a very cool observation you made! Crosby, Stills, and Nash DO seem to actually use this device in writing the lyrics to their song, "Helplessly Hopeless"...! tsk! So-there, Genius...!

Guess you could call the next letters as:

Lover of mine in my series of quandaries,
Laughing at me with an utterance hardly,
Look to me who you once did care for,
Lose me in a sea of forgotten lore,
Lie to me as well of cunning forethought,
Loser am I in my forsaken lot,

Prince of charisma you entrance me,
Pembroke of enigma you strike my fancy,
Poor me though, it is so fake,
Posy little me, lying by the lake,
Pricked of all good feeling,
Pensioned of all dealing,

Now is the time for me to go,
Never ever will you know,
Not for God, not for man,
Numbness from you has ran,
New to light of day,
Night to me is my only gay,

Okay, not sure if I did it right,

next person,

Sending secret scents so Sue
says seeya sweetheart, someday soon
Sad soliloquy song sent

Is it in illusion
I introduce
initiating innocent inductees into?

Also reminds me of "V's" monologue in V For Vendetta.

quote:

---

V's "V" Speech

Voilą! in view, a humble Vaudevillian Veteran, cast Vicariously as both Victim and Villain by the Vicissitudes of Fate. This Visage, no mere Veneer of Vanity, is a Vestige of the Vox populi, now Vacant, Vanished. However, this Valorous Visitation of a bygone Vexation stands Vivified, and has Vowed to Vanquish these Venal and Virulent Vermin Vanguarding Vice and Vouchsafing the Violently Vicious and Voracious Violation of Volition! The only Verdict is Vengeance-- a Vendetta, held as a Votive-- not in Vain, for the Value and Veracity of such shall one day Vindicate the Vigilant and the Virtuous. [ Chuckling]Verily, this Vichyssoise of Verbiage Veers most Verbose, so let me simply add that it's my Very good honor to meet you, and you may call me V.

Loved your reminder of "V" verbiage Lexxigramer... Good one... (I remembered that scene!)

whitewitch111.... You poem is quite-elegant... Beautiful!

This was MY first time too. Felt awkward.... I 'caught' Ellyn's reference to the song hippichick and I were sharing on a different forum.

Ellyn's first contribution to this "Game" thread were the words to the CSN (Crosby Stills Nash) song. The CSN song was exchanged between hippichick and me in another forum... was a significant personal support shared.

Ellyn.... I checked your "W" reference... It's a title of a book called "Wasted" by Sue Grafton, featuring a character she named "Kinsey Millhone."

Lexxi had expanded with thoughts she remembered about letter "V"... (cool reminder): Ellyn, Is that what made you think of "W"? (ref is Grafton's Alphabet?)

...or was it CSN for Ellyn... "Wasted" !!! HA! gotcha!!

Anyway.... HEY PROUD LEO! We're all going 'creative' on you...

Sheesh!

woah! You surprised and scared me with that sudden comment, Ellyn!... No.

ADD -- (And I see now as I read this thread again, that you were able to go back and fill-out the explanation of the "V" and "W" parts of the puzzle for Lexx. Girl?!! You have a deep genius mind, Ellyn!)

You must have been reading old posts, and came across things I wrote pertaining to my love for this man's deep devotion and clarity of spirit and of understanding layers of consciousness -- Leonard Cohen, his songs have stirred me so very very deeply inside.

I've heard other people do their versions of his song "Hallelujah"....

The versions others have sung are very beautiful; HOWEVER, their Understanding of his communication between himself, his Higher Self, and God was not perceived by them-- they missed it. (I think it's because you've got to come to that 'review' of life... when you've lived a long time on earth, there's a seasoning to the whole experience... Hey, I just went through my 2nd Saturn Return... I STILL have "experiences" to be had-- but I'm not 'a spring chicken' as the saying goes... haha!)

That's what makes the song so gripping.... A man in deep pain--, satisfaction (because of full quality of filled moments accomplished), and its agony. I see the overarching life experience in the song... I think there are still-moments where we face what we've done and who we are... Those moments suspend in eternity.
