(Written for “The Tag Cloud Challenge”)

I interpreted the challenge as “grab 6+ tags from tag-cloud and write an entry with those themes.” I used a random number generator on the first ~112 tags (before the alphabetization, figuring they were the most popular tags), and it went something like this:

• marriage (okay)
• summer (okay)
• beautiful (yeah, okay, fine, whatever)
• POETRY (oh crud)
• water (argh, this is going to be so trite)
• zombie (all right!!)

(Then, I threw in some other tags that seemed appropriate.)

(It is somewhat debatable whether this really counts for “beautiful,” or, for that matter, “marriage.”)

This. Is. AWESOME!!!! Poetry is so hard… and you did a fantastic job, rhymes and all!

Thanks Aurelia! Poetry isn’t typical for me, so I’m glad to hear that someone else thought it scanned okay. :)

XD

That was one of the best poems I think I’ve ever read on Ficly! Especially for someone that doesn’t usually write it! Great, great job!

I echo Orange, that was fantastic. And, surprisingly, this is the second zombie/nautical-related piece I’ve read in less than a month.

I don’t consider myself a poet either, so this is awesome on two levels: the entertainment-overall-feel level, as well as the you-pulled-it-off-spectacularly level. Most excellent.

Oh my god! I loved this!! And trust me, as many times as I have said it, it never seems enough, I don’t read poetry. This is fantabulous. See it even deserves it’s own squiggled adjective. (Gotta love spell check sigh ) Definitely worth more pencils than I have been allotted to give.

SOOO Good! you should do more poems/ :)

Thank you for all the kind words. :)

Man, this rules.

wow. you’re awesome dude!!

amazing completely amazing you are the bees elbow
hey you should get a pic because this is a goos pic and that would embarassing for you to get a featured author spot and not have a pic

i meant good fic instead of goos pic what was i thinking?

I’m not really a pic person, but if you think it’s a good idea, I’ll take the advice. Thanks. :)

tas_13 – “dude”, eh? I’ve been wondering if (without a bio) people would think I am a boy or girl, young or old, white or black (or both or something else), American or non-American, etc., based on my writing. :)

(Edit note —

changed from:
He grabbed a portly scholar and
He held him to her head.

to:
He pulled a scholar from the crowd
And held to her his head.

though now I think the repetitive "And"s are too glaring.. oh well.)

Hey, congrats! You won! This was just too awesome for me not to pick it!

Orange picked a fine entry; well deserved recognition, congrats!

Oh hey!! Thanks. :)
