Formed Poetry challenge #4

Hi Guys

with Hellon stuck out in the outback, in her Yute chasing flaming Galah's, I thought I would take it upon myself to start the next challenge.

The Diamante

http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/diamante.html

A formed poem that is like an extended Haiku.

I look forward to reading, I will post one myself soon

here is my Diamante (I'm still playing)

Blink of an eye

Life
miraculous, hopeful,
surviving, frustrating, yearning,
celebrate, cry, sleep, peace
dreaming, travelling, floating
quiet, frozen
death

^
Great word choice.
I'll work on one for this week. (Still playing, too!)

That's great Darren and I like Larry's posted one too :-)
Here's my attempt ...

Rollercoaster

Joy
happy, content
delighting, rejoicing, radiating
glee, bliss, misery, wretched
tormenting, agonising, depressing
gloom, despair
Sorrow.

Nice job kitty
I have also read Larry’s.
They can be quite powerful done right

Creation
genesis mankind
making modelling terraforming

god given natural selection

altering evolving enduring
growth progress
Evolution

Ok all of you, awesome! Me, my brain is mush and I'm still attempting challenge 3 lol..I haven't given up just on a huge delay.

Hi all, not sure if this correct...so please pull me up if not, hard to get ones head round for a while it must be said.

Love the ones posted :)

Good
Moralistic virtuous
Comforting satisfying honouring
Ease welfare unfair wicked
Wrongdoing sinning corrupting
Iniquitous depraved
Evil

Nearly micheal
Morality, virtue, iniquity and depravity are nouns, lines 2 and 6 should be adjectives.
I was stuck on line 2 for a while with mine.
you could change them to
moralistic, virtuous, iniquitous and depraved.

same here MR D

genesis and mankind are nouns
growth and progress are nouns

substitute (suggestion)
Original, human

I will leave the next two to you,

Hi KCL

just went back over yours

gloom and despair are nouns

substitute for gloomy and despairing (although not sure about another 'ing' word after line 5)

Thanks, Darren. I'll grab my dictionary and beat some sence into my numb scull.

Hi Darren :)
Thank you for helping this old fella out, I will change with the options you have provided

Michael

I've never done one of these and I've probably got it all wrong but here goes anyway...feel free to 'advise ' me haha!!

Down under

Australia
vast, wilderness
amazing, sprawling, outlying
diverse, multicultural,dusty, dry
rambling, fascinating, surprising
red soil
desert.

attempt - take 2

Creation
divine human
making modelling terraforming

god given natural selection

altering evolving enduring
developed primordial
Evolution

Hi Hellon,

it looks like you fell, at least part way, into the same trap:

wilderness and soil are nouns.

Perhaps, try: unused - all-embracing

Also, I could have this wrong: line 7: Antonym/synonym for the subject.

ah bugger! Thanks Darren ... I'll have another look at it :-)

Bah Michael...I knew I'd stuff it up somehow haha!!! Thanks for the corrections.

Attempt #2

Australia
vast, barren
amazing, sprawling, outlying
diverse, multicultural, dusty, dry
rambling, fascinating, surprising
divergent, arid
Quarbing.

*Question...I used desert first up because 70% of Australia is still actually desert, I thought about replacing it with outback but decided on Quarbing which is an Aboriginal word meaning a good place. I'm still not sure about it though (I still prefer desert I think) so..any suggestions? :) :)

I love the word ' quarbing' though not sure if that qualifies as a synonym of 'Australia'
I'd go for desert. :)
Try this link: http://www.synonym.com/synonyms/australian

That link provides synonyms for Australians, not Australia. I've come to the conclusion now that there is no synonym for Australia...why didn't I check that out before I started this challenge? LMAO!!!

I found this whole 'experience' very disconcerting to be honest, having to check if a word was an adjective/synonym or something else that needed to fit the puzzle gave me the jitters and I will admit gave me little pleasure and, I'm still not sure if it's correct so, Darren...my upcoming migraine is all YOUR fault!!!

Revenge for the Robdeau Hellon

I am still suffering from that episode

I thought the link would bring clarity. :)

Very funny, Darren :p

How about this acrostic version:

organic
real alive
growing laughing dying
apes evolved artificial intelligence
navigating improving superceding
intelligent robotic
computer

^^^^

Now you're just showing off :) :) although..what exactly is an organic computer???

LOL...Darren....so we're even now right???

I think I watch too much sci-if?

The first and last words can be antonym or synonyms of each other.

On no...I love the idea...really I do :) but, what would it do exactly? Could you program it to grow mung beans and all that hippy type food or...did you mean it would be built from organic material? Either way is interesting...could you expand on it a little more, this organic computer???

Here is a link. To be honest I heard about this hybrid computer from Star Trek. In one of the starship, Voyager, I think. This starship has organic circuitry, this blend is superior to standard computer technology.

Now you've burst my bubble...I really wanted a computer that could spit out legumes and other healthy organic things haha!!

I'm. sure the techno geeks will manage it someday. Star Trek Voyager has a 'replicator' on board. They recycle everything and transform in into everything. In their mess room, they have a version that resembles a microwave. You simply tell it what food/ drink you would like and, hey presto, it materialises.

I'd like one of those, wouldn't you?

I knew there must be SOMETHING of value in the Star Trek movies haha!!!
