With all the creative minds on WPW and all the talent, I thought a challenge would be fun! Only this time there's no hard questions to answer! I have no doubt that this challenge will be a piece of cake!
See I'm a poetry addict! I read it, I write it, I memorize it.... and whatever else you can do with poetry! What does that have to do with computers and the internet industry? Funny you should ask! ;)
The challenge - write a poem or poems using website URL's. Maximum 21 lines.
Example:
- 1. With gadgets.com and gizmos.net
2. With logging on and “not online yet”
3. Psychics.com and spaminator.net
4. Computer addictions with simulated sun sets
5. We're technologically advancing, but haven't advanced yet
6.
7. www1, 2, and 3
8. Answers and questions, and just letting it be
9. We've created a world for just you and me
10. We've jumped into VR and yet failed to see
11. That we were all truly happy before technology
12.
13. We can eBay and Yahoo
14. And neglect the things we use to do
15. Paint in a program and make curly Q's
16. Reach for the stars for many and not just a few
17. But what is it we really do?
18.
19. We laugh, we cry, and are glad that we met
20. We've even gone so far as to have virtual pets
21. This is our new way of life, the world of the internet!
And, for those who don't think they can write poetry, how about an essay or short story? Same reguirements. 200 words minimum - 500 words maximum
Example:
Oh, and one last thing, you can only use "live" website URL's. That means that there really has to be a website there, not just an advertising page saying this domain is available. :)
Remember to keep it fun, friendly, and profanity free!
