New Competition - Poet's Corner

June 3rd, 2014
*REVISED* I'm sorry everyone. I had no idea how unclear the directions were, after all, it made perfect sense in my head! So I'm going to try and go into more detail.
A while ago I thought it would be fun to have a competition where someone posted a poem and people shot pictures relating to it. @mzzhope says to "go for it" so we're going to try.

I will use @bulldog 's suggestion for a poem.

Through every nook and every cranny
The wind blew in on poor old Granny
Around her knees, into each ear
(And up nose as well, I fear)

All through the night the wind grew worse
It nearly made the vicar curse
The top had fallen off the steeple
Just missing him (and other people)

It blew on man, it blew on beast
It blew on nun, it blew on priest
It blew the wig off Auntie Fanny-
But most of all, it blew on Granny!
---Spike Milligan

***The object is to take a picture that you feel best relates to this poem. Think of it as though you're creating a book and each poem needs a picture on the page. Each host will select a poem and we will have to take a picture that compliments it. It can be one that everyone knows, an obscure poem, or even one that the host has written. I think this will help eliminate bias on the part of the host.***

I am going to extend the dates because of the confusion. So let's end on Wednesday June 18, 2014. That'll give a week and a half for those I have misled. We can use the tag: pc-1
Let's see how well this goes. :)

Hilarious poem! This sounds like a fun challenge and one I plan to participate in--thanks for hosting this, Vanesa!

Good idea.

@paulam @annied @mzzhope @snaphappi I hope you ladies have fun!

@bulldog. I actually have an Auntie Fanny! But she still has a full head of hair.:)
June 4th, 2014
Ha ha ha, thank you for using my suggested poem, I will have to see what I can come up with now.
:)
@denvern8v

I challenge you to take a shot of her, point the hair dryer at her and take the shot.

Great choice of poem! Should be fun.
June 4th, 2014
@mzzhope My grandpa's cousin is called Fanny too - so not really my auntie but I don't mind :D
@denvern8v Thanks for the challenge, I'll see if I can find something :p
June 4th, 2014
@mzzhope Ooooo I see a dare. ;) It'd be funny if she had beautiful hair under a wig.
June 4th, 2014
@justaspark I hope you do. I love the things you come up with.

@denvern8v I saw the phote someone took and a poem which was very nice, but I'm a bit confused. Are we taking pictures to represent your poem, or a picture that represents a poem of our choice?
June 5th, 2014
@melanierivers This poem. Whoever wins gets to choose the next poem. :)
June 5th, 2014
@denvern8v Ok thanks you, I don't think that person understood that, but it was a very lovely poem and picture or a tree stump...might want to contact them and have them try again :-)
June 5th, 2014
@denvern8v Just saw another one when I search pc-1...not sure people are unterstanding.
June 5th, 2014
I think I didn't understand this theme. I did a search on the tag and saw that the 1 person did not use the poem. So I thought it was to insert your own poem....I'll untag my photo.
June 6th, 2014
I'm sorry guys! I should have explained better! @livvy @melanierivers
June 6th, 2014
@denvern8v I think you should say in the discription to take a picture that your think relates to "THIS" poem...you have THE. Maybe also take out the last line about the picture album. You chould probably extend the time...I think once they figure it out it will be a good one. :-)
June 6th, 2014
@melanierivers I will thank you. I'm doing this on my phone right now, but when I get to a computer I will fix it.
June 6th, 2014
@denvern8v You're welcome...look forward to seeing how it plays out :-)
June 7th, 2014
@bulldog HA! If she did not live so far away..you bet I would!
That is a GREAT idea though! Get out the blow dryers for this challenge people!Dont wait on mamma nature!
June 7th, 2014
@melanierivers Okay, I fixed it (I hope). Can you please read it over and let me know if I've missed anything?
June 7th, 2014
@denvern8v sounds better, just forgot to add the tag details.
June 7th, 2014
I really love this idea, Vanesa! Very creative and whimsical! :)
June 7th, 2014
@melanierivers I left the tag at the end of the dates. Should I make it more obvious?
June 7th, 2014
@kareenking Thank you. :) I hope you can join.
June 7th, 2014
@denvern8v Will try to see what I can find :-)
June 18th, 2014
Well, I tried. I don't think it caught on quite like I hoped. I really enjoyed the pictures that were submitted! Great job everone!
June 19th, 2014
