2007-06-06 [Faith.Hope.Love]: The poems seem to be posted in many different ways. :P

2007-06-07 [Bookwyrm]: How so? Some don't post dates, but that seems to be the only real difference...Though I do see a few people put line breaks here and there where others don't...which I can fix real quick. :)

2007-06-07 [GlitchGames]: so whatcha think of my poem?

2007-06-12 [Faith.Hope.Love]: I like your poem, [GlitchGames]. I like poems that have a message that makes us think. :)  [Bookwyrm], maybe I'm so accustomed to the strict format adherence required on ET with their Daily Poem. :P

2007-06-12 [Bookwyrm]: XD I don't have any jobs on ET, much less a poem-related job...they don't seem to like me much there. XD Won't even accept my graphics there, even though I went through all the trouble of uploading them all to ET...Anyway, if I've ever seen their format, it's only been once or twice and I don't remember it. XD We're not as strict here...

2007-06-13 [Faith.Hope.Love]: Hmmm...I'm sorry about that. Elftown is like my home online. I can't complain for I've had very little, if any difficulty with anyone there or here for that matter. I've noticed that things aren't as strict here, but it's not a bad thing. lol I looked at your graphics on ET & left a comment. I have to agree with [Zab]. I noticed that you remarked about your unhappiness regarding the gif format. I left a comment on your graphics page about png's that you might want to try if you aren't aware of them already. Anything I learn, I like to share with others gladly. I don't get over here to Elfpack as often as I'd like to. I do a lot of things on Elf12, so I'm there almost all the time.  :D Congratulations on your recent wedding! :D

2007-06-13 [Bookwyrm]: Elftown is where I started, and then I migrated to Elfpack...now I try and make time for both of them, though there's no denying my jobs are more demanding here than there. XD Thanks for the advice and the congratulations. ^_^ I know about PNGs, but I've been having trouble with that format and transparency.

2007-06-13 [Faith.Hope.Love]: *nods* My offer stands as I stated on ET. I understand, b/c I do mega, mega amount of tasks on Elf12, but I enjoy helping out & doing things for the kids. :D

2007-06-13 [Bookwyrm]: I never even joined Elf12...I considered it, because I wanted to help out there as well, but I thought with my tasks here and then certain wikis of mine that demand a lot of attention...I didn't want to spread myself too thin. I do appreciate your offer. ^_^ And thank you for it. ^_^

2007-06-18 [Faith.Hope.Love]: ...And you're welcome! :D I understand "spreading oneself too thinly". It always seems that I have way too many irons in the fire all at the same time. However, I'd much rather be busy than bored! :D

2007-06-18 [Bookwyrm]: XD Good point! I just don't want to work myself to the bone. I ended up taking a "break" from Elfpack for a while, and now I feel a bit guilty because a lot of work didn't get done. XD I'm back though...yay!

2007-06-27 [Faith.Hope.Love]: Same here with Elf12. If I miss a couple of days & go back, I never see much getting done that needs doing, but we are entitled to a life, too. :P

2007-06-27 [Bookwyrm]: -giggles- True, we are. And sometimes there are outside circumstances that are more important than the internet. -dodges a pack of angry elves- Eep!

2007-06-30 [Bookwyrm]: [Mommie 2 Be♥]: Thank you for your submission. ^_^ Next time, though, please add your name to your submission so that we know who submitted it. Also, please either use the italics tags to set off the title of your poem, or place a ">" at the beginning of your title so it will be italicized.

2007-07-01 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: Oh alright, sorry. =D

2007-07-01 [Bookwyrm]: Perfectly all right. ^_^ I'm about to try and revise the rules page so that I can keep things more organized and hopefully get everything fixed the way it should be. I have to get the go-ahead of some "higher-ups" though. :P

2007-07-01 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: Yeah that's understandable. Is it alright that I put one of the poems I have already submitted to the regular elfpack poetry on here?

2007-07-02 [Bookwyrm]: Yes, but you can't add another poem for a month. It just gives others a chance to add their stuff, I'm sure you understand. ^_^ Also, it only counts as one poem to your count, of course. :)

2007-07-02 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: Lol yeah I figured that. =D

2007-07-16 [Bookwyrm]: Please don't delete the bottom of the page when adding your poem. It deletes the links to other pages. ^_^ Thank you!

2007-07-30 [dragonus]: I added my last poem so far was made qwite reacently yea it's a wierd one I wrote it while listening to music and looking at my tv while it was off. The word's just started to flow so I had to write it down. Hope you all like it.

2007-07-30 [GlitchGames]: *sighs*mines still at tha top waiting

2007-07-30 [Bookwyrm]: It's lovely [dragonus]. ^_^

Well, not every poem will be featured [GlitchGames]. ^-^ There are lots of poems to choose from, but we're always looking for more, so keep writing! ^_^

2007-07-31 [GlitchGames]: i kno [Bookwyrm]...im jus sayin

2007-07-31 [dragonus]: Thank you [Bookwyrm]. To me it sound's like a spell more than a normal poem what do you think or isd it just me that sees it?

2007-07-31 [Bookwyrm]: I think it is what you feel it is. That's what's most important, anyway.

2007-07-31 [GlitchGames]: yup...that how i feel

2007-08-01 [dragonus]: Good point ok I will believe it is a poem that way it can't be activated if it was a spell thank's for the advice :)

2007-08-01 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: why cant it be both?

2007-08-01 [GlitchGames]: lol..i dunno

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: because if you know anything in the religion of the craft if I believed in it as a spell then it would activate and just by the sound of it what do you think will happen.

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: by the sounds of it, that does not seem as if it would be a bad thing.

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: wel here is an idea it my knolage and power continue to grow times 3 each day what do you think I would become in 1 year

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: knowledge is not power, it is freedom from the binds of ignorance. power, if used correctly and focused, can lead to a great helping of others for betterment. therefore, if handled properly, i see no reason why there would be a negetive aspect to the "poem".

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: I see your point ok then as is written and believed upon shal now take it's ritefull place amongst many here I decree hence forth from this day forth shal this be awakend and cast to yeild upon bringing greater good

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: *smiles and leans back*

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: wow ok that is faster than any other cool feeling

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: remember, with more power comes more responsibilities...its never a free ride.

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: yes I am aware of that will great power comes great responsability

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: HA! SPIDERMAN QUOTE!!!!!!

2007-08-02 [GlitchGames]: spiderman is overrated...now rises ARACHNIDUDE*runs away and comes back dressed like a giant spider*

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: cyinide and happiness!

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: Actualy that quote dates back to the medevil ages way before spiderman came out hell before electricity for that matter it was written upon a scroll.

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: you know what, go have a brain fart smartypants *sticks tongue out and laughs*

2007-08-02 [GlitchGames]: dont b mean

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: im not!

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: tisk tisk tisk need not thoa word's speak nice tis be what twas spoken so many moon's past thee speek in old tongue speak thyne well of thee truth mayest be.

2007-08-02 [GlitchGames]: times have changed..speak new tounge

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: old english, yeah....but you'd only go unnoticed in a shakespearian theatre...any where else people would look at you like you were insane

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: well who said I wasen't lol all the sane people are lock up in those insane asilom's and all the insane people are roaming free like a bird like me.

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: sanity is a comparement to the "normal", well, who's to say whats normal, i think there is no such thing!!!

2007-08-02 [GlitchGames]: i kno whatcha mean...normal is 2 hard 2 explain

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: I know what you meen by that it is as if trying to explane the meening of life that only applies to you as you are and saying it is the real answer to everyone but that is false for everybody's path is differant so is the meening of life to them for one meening dose not apply to another only for that person so tryinbg to say all is one answer is like saying one person is normal and only if you are exactly like that person can you be normal so there is realy no true answer to either one but million's of answer's to all.

2007-08-02 [GlitchGames]: blah blah blah blah blah

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: you say blah blah blah but you know exactly what i'm saying RKO

2007-08-02 [GlitchGames]: i didnt even read it

2007-08-02 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: as children we are stressed that everyone is different and unique...therefore there can be no normal!

2007-08-02 [dragonus]: if you did read it then you would know and if you haden't then don't bother it maybe to hard for your mind to comprahend

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: lol...im jus 2 bored 2 read all that

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: see [Lyon Armonial the healer] know's what I am saying

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: see as I wrote we are differant when your bored you try to annoy or anger someone by provokeing them me I read and studie the old way's

2007-08-03 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: with an IQ of 160, i would definately hope so...hehe...i undermeant what you stood.

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: lmao [GlitchGames] how did you get lost did the word's streamline passed you or are you confused as to why I laughed

2007-08-03 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: LOOK AT ALL THESE IDIOTS, LOOK AT ALL THESE BOOBS!!

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: that's ok I know nothing in spanish exept for vulgar language lol

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: well either way...im english...speak ur language

2007-08-03 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: you know, enlish is not the only language on earth...

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: but it is tha best

2007-08-03 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: bullshit!!!

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: well its ll a matter of opinion

2007-08-03 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: exactly, you cant say english is the best then.

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: well french is the language of love

2007-08-03 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: and italiano

2007-08-03 [Bookwyrm]: ^_^ Everything is relative. I agree with that.

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: honestly to be honest all languages have there significant's therefor all languages are the best for at least one or two people I speak english but my fave. language's are aztec egyption, pectiwiccan, and saex wiccan they are the best to me so you see even if your english it dosen't meen your best language is that.

2007-08-03 [Bookwyrm]: Exactly. Everything is relative. All that matters is what it means to you. :P

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: yup :)

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: well...i can say english is my fav and nothin u do or say can change that

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: that is your choice

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: yep...and i can also say japan is the greatist place n terms of electronics

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: honestly I would have to agree with you there but as I said before to each his or her own

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: im gonna learn japanese and move there

2007-08-03 [dragonus]: sound's cool it wont be easy but I heard if you moved there and spent all the time around people speaking that language in about 2 to 3 weeks you pick up and understand that language with ease

2007-08-03 [GlitchGames]: thats cool

2007-08-05 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: Can't I put a new one up now?

2007-08-06 [Bookwyrm]: Yes. ^_^

2007-08-15 [Bookwyrm]: Hmm...what do you guys think of a monthly/weekly/twice a month theme or something of that sort? Something to promote the writing of poetry, and different types of poetry. So much of the poetry held in these pages are...well, the same type of poetry, the same subjects. Essentially, they are the same. Not that they aren't good, but it doesn't really make me happy having to put a poem up on mainstuff that is essentially the same as the previous week's poem.

2007-08-15 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: I think it's a good idea.

2007-08-16 [Bookwyrm]: Mmm...yes...I think I'll implement that soon. ^_^

2007-08-16 [GlitchGames]: well i have various poetry but i perfer 2 show my luv poetry.i can write dark,1s about tha past,ect...

2007-08-16 [Bookwyrm]: Well, people will still be able to submit any type of poetry they want, however I would like to implement a theme to give people new ideas. Since there are so little submissions these days, the featured poem only changes once every two weeks. So with the current rate, we would have one non-theme poem featured and one theme poem featured each month. If the submission rate picks up, the featured poem may change each week, but I have a feeling it may not get that high again. Most people don't seem interested unfortunately.

2007-08-16 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: *sticks my tongue out* i submitted a lot of poems, so na!

2007-08-16 [Bookwyrm]: Yes, a lot of people have, but still...no one can say that there aren't fewer submissions these days.

2007-08-16 [Lyon Armonial the healer]: so go through older ones!

2007-08-16 [Bookwyrm]: I have been! But it would be EXTREMELY wonderful if we had more submissions. ^_^ I'd like to feature more members who are active. The past two featured poems came from currently inactive members, but the poems were beautiful so I featured them anyway.

2007-08-18 [dragonus]: well if it help's bring out other's muses to create emotion's and vision's through there poetry. I think it would be a good idea to make a theme for them and if you do it may bring other's in not just to see what's happening but may just let them start to think like a poet and create there own poem's to add so we get more in here. So I say go for it.

2007-08-18 [Bookwyrm]: -nods- Agreed. I'll start the new plan soon. ^_^

2007-08-18 [dragonus]: Cool but can I make a suggestion try to make it something that will make even the greatest poet's think makeing them dig deep into there syche to find the word's to best express it.

2007-08-18 [Bookwyrm]: ...It's a theme...it's not going to be something like "Write a poem about your best idea on how to fix the world." It's going to be simple like "nature" or "birthday" or something that's just different from what we normally get. Some will be deeper than others, but I'm not going to make it impossible. I actually want members to participate. Many members, not just the two who are willing to think that deeply. XD I do see what you mean, but I'm not going to make them work so hard that they don't want to do it.

2007-08-18 [dragonus]: Yea maybe that would be best because if they came in to check it out and had no idea as to what to even start with then they woulden't even particapate.

2007-08-18 [Bookwyrm]: Precisely. Unfortunately, the Elfpack members aren't typically on the same level as Elftown members. Not that they are less intelligent, but Elfpack is mostly "Elftown Rejects." They may have creativity, but they're not going to stress themselves to participate. So while I don't want to make it easy for them, I want to make it easier.

2007-08-18 [dragonus]: Basicaly instaed of just putting a rock in front of them to come up with what makes it beautiful to you,Your giving them a flower and asking them what do you feel when you look at it. Kinda

2007-08-18 [Bookwyrm]: In a sense, yes. ^_^

2007-08-18 [GlitchGames]: well i can make a poem on ne theme so i like that idea :D

2007-08-19 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: Mine are all depressing kind of, but I always welcome a challenge. =D

2007-08-19 [GlitchGames]: yep i luv challenges and writin a poem of a diff type weekly sounds fun 2 me

2007-08-19 [Mommie 2 Be♥]: You and me both.

2007-08-19 [GlitchGames]: yep :P

2007-08-19 [Bookwyrm]: Well, it's not going to be weekly, I don't think. I'm thinking of changing the "monthly submission" rule though, since we get so few submissions anyway.

2007-08-19 [GlitchGames]: still works jus as good 4 me

2007-08-20 [dragonus]: Though I am not perfect or even nearly the best at it but when it comes to challanges I alway's jump in head first (Never quite never give up see it through to the end) that is my motto my crede

2007-08-20 [GlitchGames]: well i jus find that a challenge gives me a chance 2 acess my potential but iv never found nething i cant do w/ ease so iv never had 2 push myself that hard.maybe a new monthyly poem based on wat this competition will help me out by changing my style and keep me constantly thinkin and finally push me 2 acess my potential

2007-08-21 [dragonus]: yea that is the spirit just push past all mind block's and access all potential buried deep within one's self

2007-08-21 [GlitchGames]: well thats hard 4 me

2007-08-22 [dragonus]: not realy [GlitchGames] just clear your mind of all thaught and consintrate on what you wish to acomplish and soly focus on that one thing

2007-08-22 [GlitchGames]: no i mean i have A LOT of potential.its gonna b hard 2 choose a catigory that i have 2 use very much on

2007-08-22 [dragonus]: maybe so but that is the fun of it find wich one best sootes it and work with that one

2007-08-22 [GlitchGames]: yea.i'll have 1 ,atching tha catigory within 1 week of notice of a new 1

2007-10-07 [Kaos101]: Will I be told if my poem is chosen?

2007-10-07 [Bookwyrm]: Yes.

2007-10-07 [Kaos101]: sweet

2007-10-07 [GlitchGames]: im still waitin 4 mine

2007-10-07 [Bookwyrm]: Well...not everyone has their poem chosen. If they did, it wouldn't make the featured poems very special...x_X

2007-10-08 [GlitchGames]: yea i kno but i can still wait

2007-11-10 [Bookwyrm]: This page is closed to submissions, all new poetry can be submitted on Elfpack Daily Poem Submissions 7. :D Don't worry, I'm still picking poems from this page and previous pages as well, just trying to cut the length of the pages down some.

2008-01-18 [GlitchGames]: wer did mine go?

2008-01-18 [Bookwyrm]: -pokes- Notice that there are now 22 submission pages. XD I spread them out so there are fewer poems on each page...easier for me to look through, really. Your poem is probably on page 22 now. :D

2008-01-18 [GlitchGames]: holy hell

2008-01-18 [Bookwyrm]: There are 15 poems per page, rather than...50...XD Or however many poems there were. I may condense them again to make fewer pages, but it's unlikely.
