Question #6:Bridesmaid gifts - any unique ideas?I am looking for something to give my bridesmaids as a nice thank you present. I am the first of my friends to get married so not sure of what to get. Everything online is corny and personalized. I don't want to get them a tote bag or jewelry box - that's pretty much what I've found online! I am doing an eco-friendly wedding with a "Poetry in Nature" theme, if that helps. Please give me ideas of things you would genuinely like to receive instead of just things I can give as if to just fulfill my obligation to give a gift! It would be nice if it fit my theme but it's not necessary - it just shouldn't clash (i.e. nothing TOO environmentally damaging). Thanks for your help!Question #7:Some questions about Wicca?Since I'm often accused of being Wiccan or 'trying' to be Wiccan, I thought I'd ask some questions I've been having about the religion. Some questions, though not all, are on the witchcraft aspect, so if you don't practise, just skip those and there's a question for those that don't practise witchcraft too.1. The threefold law. Do you really view this as a law or a universal truth? 2. The rede. I've read the long version and the short version. Do you consider this pretty poetry, rules of your belief, guidelines or something else? 3. Is Wicca hard polytheistic or soft, or is it up to the practitioner? I've seen so many contradicting statements on this. For those that practise witchcraft: 4. From what I understand, most Wiccan spells or rituals are highly personalized and created by the user. Why is this? And how do you feel about spells or rituals not created by you, older things, like spells laid out in books like De occulta philosophia libri tres, Galdrabók, and common low spellwork such as the Rroma do, or folk magic from older times? 5. Do you view your spells and rituals as prayer or actual manipulation of energy? 6. How long must someone study or train to be a full fledged Wiccan or practise spellcraft? For my tradition it is something between three and five years--or is there no limit? For those that don't practise witchcraft: 7. If you don't practise witchcraft, do you find that people assume you do? Is there a reason you don't practise, or do you just not feel like it? Why should I care about what everyone else believes. Galileo went against what everyone else believed. Just because "most" people don't believe in it doesn't make it wrong, nor am I rebellious. Question #8:Why does my girlfriend use my lyrics/poetry to attack me?This is the second time I've tried showing her something I've done...because music and poetry are really big parts of my life, and no not in the "Myspace interests" type way, but as in I seriously perform music for a living.Two times now, she reads too much into the lyrics and her ego flies through the roof about how "This is what I really think"...even though it is always bland neutral commentary "Common Human Experiences" that I am trying to get across. She personalizes it. Actually, yes, she is the Oldest Child, and the only Girl. Question #9:what do you think of the intro for this essay? please read! ?My innermost thoughts echo vicariously through the classroom as I read them aloud to my classmates. I continue on with my story though my voice is shaky and uncertain. Upon conclusion, I see smiling faces and hear unanimous applause, making my anxiety and doubt dissolve instantaneously. My fears had been conquered and my abilities reassured at that very moment.Though having stage fright is not very unorthodox, the concept of presenting my personal thoughts and creative accounts to my peers was a paralyzing notion. My desire to express my ideas through writing was evident as early as fourth grade, when I would burrow myself in my room and write sequels to stories I had read during school. Writing seemed like second nature to me and it was so fundamental to my life. The creativity of writing bombarded every aspect of my life—through the lyrics of music, the rhyme and tone of poetry, and the joys of prose. I aspired to master the art of writing—being able to manipulate words in rhyme and in reason to convey myself to others. I began writing a book and many short stories to hone my writing skills and personalize my writing style. To improve my technical writing abilities, I joined my high school newspaper staff and was able to shadow under the editor-in-chief, not foreseeing that the very next year and the subsequent year after, I would be editor-in-chief. *Ultimately, it will follow the story of why I've chosen to pursue a career in the pharmacy profession. Do you think the intro could distract from the real purpose of the essay though? I was actually thinking the same thing about the "echoes vicariously"; I wasn't sure if that made any sense....I am trying to be as descriptive and intriguing as possible. I think i'll cut that out. Question #10:Poetry contest...is this for real? Please help!?I was in a stage a while back of entering online (free) poetry contests. Most of them have proved to be scams including: Poetry.com, and etc...But today I just received an email from a contest I don't recall but it was the right poem so I guess I did enter it. I want to know if this is a scam, or if it is legit. Here is a copy of the email:Dear ____my name____, "We are currently publishing a special edition of our anthology series entitled: "Voices, a collection of poetic works."

Sincerely, Sheryl Howell 410-764-7471 I would be really dissappointed to find this is another scam to get you to buy some $50 book with crammed poems that accept anybody. Is hit legit? And if not, what are some real online legit poetry sites? I know must free ones are scams, but there has to be SOME real ones? Question #11:How can I make my writing into a business/profitable hobby when I am only 16?Hey, I am almost 16 and I have a knack for poetry, rhyming, as well as just writing in general. I am even into song/parody writing a little and have been writing personalized poems for christmas cards, businesses, etc. for family and friends for years. I was wondering how I could capitalize on these skills and make some money (I am in need of money right now). I have tried writing contests, but they don't seem to pay off. Does anyone know how/where I could start up some sort of business online for selling my writing? Should I set up a Paypal account? Also, if anyone here wants a personalized poem for a christmas card, anniversary, etc. let me know. You can contact me at perry_nunes@yahoo.com to talk, look at examples of my previous work and more. Let me know guys, thanks.Question #12:Where can I buy a fairly inexpensive journal that looks nice and that I can also inscribe w/ initials?I noticed a friend has begun writing some poetry. For her birthday, I would like to buy her a personalized journal. Something not overly fancy, but nicer than your grocery store notebook. I'd also really, really love the option of having it engraved/inscribed with her name or initials. I've started looking online but everything has been very expensive (like $50 and up up up). I don't have a huge budget but would like to make this a special gift! Any recommendations of sites or stores I could order such journal from?Question #13:i'm sick of myspace and facebook. is there a more artistic blog site where i can post my creative writing?categories in a page for someone's OWN artwork, ideas, articles, creative literature and poetry.with a personal profile that you can PERSONalize (kind of like myspace except without the templates) and shareable music Basically I'm sick of facebook and their stupid applications and myspace and their stupid top friends and bulletins and meaningless categories like "favorite tv shows, movies, "i'd like to meet". I know that you can get rid of some of those things and make some better to personalize it, but i'm sick of dealing with the people who don't and I want to be part of a site that comes together for art. plus sorry that sounded stupid somebody vote because i don't want to pick an answer because they come in pairs Question #14:i have to personalize romantic poets, any help?in british literature class i have to outline a video game in which the characters are famous romanticism poets: wordsworth, colerage, keats, shelley, arnold and byron. i have to assign characteristics and special powers to each character which can be backed by their life and poetic style. i know nothing about poetry so does anyone want to help?Question #15:would it be legal to ask for donations in return for a private service?The service would be writing personalized poetry or making personalized baskets or grams in return for a little financial help. Is this legal? Would people really help?Question #16:Grooms Gift?I am thinking of getting my fiance a really nice personalized poetry journal for the grooms gift. Any ideas on where I can find something like that?Question #17:A friend recited some erotic poetry to me that included my name?It was so intense, but I have no idea how to respond. I definitely do not have the skills to respond in kind, especially to something that was personalized off the top of his head.Anyone have any suggestions on a reply. PLEASE NO porno reply words, condescending tones or negative auras. Thank you in advance serious responders. PDX,yes, it was extremely sexy! I enjoyed it to the max because he personalized it. That took some thought. He is a platonic friend and knows that use of words in most context really excite me, not necessarily in a sexual way. He also is into words and have a BA in English. I want to respond due to my passion for the use of words! I just need some pointers to help me respond. This is all in fun! We have no problems in our relationship. I write well, also, just never written an erotic poem. It is all new to me. Someone have a "roses are red, violets are blue" that's up a notch poem, cuz that's all I got. LOL! Question #18:where can i find italian poetry to base a song off of?Coming from italian descent, but unable to speak fluently, I am searching for a few italian poems to convert, and explore the possibility to base a song from them. Rearangeing and personalizing them into lyrics for a song I have been working on. A good source for online poetry, in more then one language, would help emmensly. Note that I do not intend to plagerize, I simply want to learn more about it and come to my own version of what ever I use. Anything that is used by myself will be cited and credit given to whoeverso deserves it.Question #19:I write poetry from what I see in others eyes?I have always wished I could make a living doing this as it is a natual part of me that I enjoy. If I opened my own web site writting personalized poetry for others, what do you see as the outcome of my bussinessQuestion #20:How would I start a personalized poetry business, creating poems for any occassion using details from clientsI write for Bar/Bat Mitzvah's Candlelightings, Wedding Vows, All occassion invitations. I am just not sure how to market this properly. Give me some great ideas.** Powered by Yahoo Answers Click link above for correct copyright license. |
