Susan, I'm perplexed -
            An Analeptokrastete? 

What the hell is that?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whetstone: I sing her praises ... (but I'm quite sure it won't get my poem any special consideration).

Lol! I have no idea, but I'm sure Susan will be able to explain.

Let's hope so. I hear it's our next challenge.

The first four letters give you some idea of what you might do with it.

Is this post flagged....(yet)?
Atticus *. Apr 10, 2012, 1:55pm UTC
Susan! I plead complete innocence to your insinuation! i was taking the root of anaphora and anapest and just filled in some syllables!

~ It is a rather unfortunate name for a poetic form though.

Unfortunately, not everyone appreciates people with a sense of humor like ours, Atticus.

Thanks for sharing with at Gather's Luminous Writers and Artists. Now featured in honor of our poetry month taskmaster.

Now I know who I am going to lampoon in my senryu. No, not Atticus, but someone who probably thinks I'm a little bit...um...well, I've already given a clue with my response above to Atticus.

^_^

heh heh heh heh

Ha, ha! The only thing that shows up when I looked it up on a search engine is Atticus' poem! Now, I'd like to know what symbolizes the enlightenment portion of this senryu!
Alice G. Apr 10, 2012, 2:29pm UTC
The enlightenment is actually in Susan's comment.
Kerry Dexter Apr 10, 2012, 2:15pm UTC
witty, Atticus -- and looking forward to your thoughts about which line is the enlightenment one.
Atticus *. Apr 10, 2012, 2:26pm UTC
Enlightenment can occur at any point. But it is always unexpected.
Atticus *. Apr 10, 2012, 2:27pm UTC
like death
Audrey Howitt Apr 10, 2012, 2:37pm UTC
Very witty!
A. F. Stewart Apr 10, 2012, 5:15pm UTC
Clever and funny.

It's going to take me some time to analyze this. Where are my rubber gloves?
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 10, 2012, 6:22pm UTC
Gather needs a like button!!

So that I'm following protocol, let me make a serious comment.

This form has turned out to be a riot.

Senyru poetry like this definitely appears at Mindful Poetry.
Irina Dimitric Apr 10, 2012, 6:27pm UTC
ha ha ha ha ...I can't stop laughing!
JOHN BECK Apr 10, 2012, 7:46pm UTC
You even puzzled Google. Apparently it doesn't know how to pars components of words and be creative. Which goes to show: We'll always need an Atticus!
Susan Budig - Mindful Poet Apr 10, 2012, 11:10pm UTC
John, what a fun line that would be for a prompt. Write your poem today including this line: "We'll always need an Atticus!"
It's a Greek seafood dish.
Aman V. Apr 11, 2012, 11:10am UTC
Magi, witty Magi! Your sense of humour is always unique - you cracked me up real good just now! hahahaha
Aman, sharing laughter is such fun! I'm pleased my comment got you going.
Andrea Grenadier Apr 10, 2012, 8:50pm UTC
It's delicious!
Kushal Poddar Apr 10, 2012, 9:28pm UTC
Wonderful.

Whatever it is, I am terrified of it.
Aman V. Apr 11, 2012, 11:13am UTC
In running now, along with Magi above, for the "RipRoaring Repartee of The Day" award ... please wlecome the Mr. Droll Demiri! heheheh
Mustafa Demiri Apr 12, 2012, 1:46am UTC
Thanks, Aman... I do have that range, actually... I go from RipRoaring to Droll in no time at all.
elizabeth evans Apr 11, 2012, 2:37am UTC
Oh, these big words again. Thank God for Google.
elizabeth evans Apr 11, 2012, 2:39am UTC
Oh damn, just read the comments above...not on google. One should always read the comments before posting one's own.
Bernard C. Apr 11, 2012, 4:40am UTC
Sounds pretty painful whatever that is
