Collaboration Game: Tag Poetry

MsJacquiiC · 02:05 AM

Welcome To Tag Poetry:

A nice poetry collaboration game.
Will inspire JPiC Poets to collaborate for the goal of creating poetry.
Enjoy - Play by the rules AND Happy posting.

Tag Poetry Rules:

I start a poem with four lines. Then I will "tag" a Member by posting "Tag [membername] - You're It For Tag Poetry"
I will then send the tagged Member a Private Message via the PM System telling them they have been tagged to participate in Tag Poetry.
Note: Please put the Tag Poetry link in the PM
Example Tag: Tag MsJacquiiC - You're It For Tag Poetry: http://jpicforum.info/forum-games/collaboration-game-tag-poetry-4250.html
The Member tagged will then copy the previous lines into the next thread post, leaves a space between the stanzas, and then adds their four lines
At the end of their lines that Member will then "tag" the next member by posting "Tag [membername] - You're It For Tag Poetry" after their four lines. The Member should then send the tagged Member a Private Message via the PM System telling them they have been tagged to participate in Tag Poetry.
The next Member copies the previous 8 lines of poetry and adds their four lines... and so on until the Member with lines 17 through 20 (the 5th stanza of each tag poem)
The Member who ends up doing lines 17 thru 20 (the 5th stanza) has to add their four lines and tag the last person with the words... "Tag [membername] - Wrap it up please!"
** This let's the last tagged Member know that their stanza will be ending the poem **

Extra Guidelines:

A little math: Each Tag Poem will have a total of 24 lines AND 6 participating Members.
The Member who starts the tag poem gives it a title and a theme if necessary.
The Member who starts a tag poem must also post the rules again in the post he or she starts.
All participating Members must stick to the given theme.
You must notify the tagged Member by sending a PM - otherwise they may not know they have been tagged.
If the next Member tagged doesn't respond in 3 days the previous Member tags someone else.
It is ok to tag a member who has previously participated in the same poem.
It is ok for two people to tag one another back and fourth until a poem is complete.

Jazz Singer Girl

She's diversity personified, playing her piano keyboard
Tenacity and strength in her rainbowed aura of colours
That jazz she sings wells from within and forth it pours
Like two paintings of Niagara on one wall: Art museum

LOL - I am not and never have been a math major - though I did sort of fancy algebra - that was about 17 years ago

But now I've correct the 1st post - so

Jazz Singer Girl

She's diversity personified, playing her piano keyboard
Tenacity and strength in her rainbowed aura of colours
That jazz she sings wells from within and forth it pours
Like two paintings of Niagara on one wall: Art museum

Billowing a smoky soliloquy, Lady Day style
Notes as fine as a red sable brush
Stroking a Harlem canvas; A still life of Strange Fruit
From her instrument echoes the heart of Jazz

Stroking a Harlem canvas; A still life of Strange Fruit
From her instrument echoes the heart of Jazz

One wish residing in her soul, an epiphany of sorts:
To play that Ellington caravan the way it is
meant to be played; To master the keys (if you will)
and open the door to a miasma of song.

TAG MS KIM - you're up for Tag Poetry

btw - AWESOME lines!

A jazz era love affair; pure elegance
The way she enchants the keys would give one pause
Playin' a courtship of ivory swans and onyx doves
Butter cream smooth; she is a sophisticated lady

So sophisticated Da Vinci couldn't capture her lines,
Her hipsway on piano bench a Mona-Lisa-masterpiece.
More scrumptious than Cezanne's peaches, this girl is
Bad. Her rhythm is freedom-flight personified.

Tag MS KIM - Wrap it up please!

Throwin' down scat like Grandmas' peach marmalade
Ancient oceans ripple with her sway; Harlem's Mona Lisa
Victorious; A ticklin' ivory wish; she brought Ellington back awhile
She is bad, her passion is jazz; phenomenally does she sang.

Collab between Ms Jacquii and PD is done---->Sizzzzlllleeeeee!!!!
