Dear Grace,
"I should like to nominate EXCULPATED by Alan in Seren's for the Faery Award.
Every time I read it I am blown away by the way he compares his attraction to the woman with the instinctive attraction of the white moth to the flower. Just as Nature intended! "
My goodness, I knew you liked it, but THAT good ?
Actually, considering it was a 10-word challenge answer, I suppose I can be very proud of it !
Thank you very much.
Love Alan
PS - Did Cleo put it up yet? Haven't seen it.

Hi Grace and Alan.
I will be posting TWO more items for awards hopefully this evening.
I also just received an email from Sylvia who writes: "I seem to remember that members can name poets for awards, but for the life of me I can't recall how to go about it. I just wanted to say that I'd love this poem of Ephiny's (SOLSTICE, BY EPHINY) to be awarded a Faery Award? Is that possible? Or else something equally significant. I think it's absolutely beautiful, as most of Ephiny's work. Mostly, I love the mystical and/or legendary elements contrasted with today's everyday life. I think she has great talent, in this area especially. Her imagery is so delightful, also the questionning and the going back & forth in time."
Stay tuned!

Gosh that was quick.
I hadn't even thanked Fran for her kind nomination then whoosh! it's there.
So thank you Lori for the award and congratulations.
Thank you Fran so much for the nomination. "a poem that sends shivers down the spine." - your comment also means much to me, Fran. Thank you.
I do appreciate this Faery - this poem is most special to me.

Hi Cleo !
I would like to nominate Perrorist for a Crown Jewels Award for his piece Ugh? which is located at:
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=3452
I think it's a masterly piece, with wonderful use of irony and/or humour. Good spoof on what goes on in the world of "creativity", with strong basis in truth. Great parody.
Best to all, Psyche

Quick work, Lori ! You're a magician !!
I've had my eye on that piece by Perry for some time, but shattered keyboards and other obstacles slow me down... :(
By the way, while i'm about it, i remember i posted a Faery nomination for Eisa's Roof Over the World (which you awarded her), but i posted it in the wrong Forum and my post was removed elsewhere. But where?!
Is this the correct place to propose nominations, or should I be doing it somewhere else?
Thank you, Lori !!!
Hugs, Sylvia

Hi Lori !! Yes, but.... my proposal to nominate Eisa's Roof Over Our World or Perpetual Glory for a Faery Award has totally disappeared from either thread. I know I posted it, but it's gone... I know you already awarded her the Faery plaque, but all the same I'll put another link here, now, so that anybody who wishes can view it easily, as it's such a beautiful poem. Please forgive me if the link turns out to be duplicated, but for the life of me I can't find it any more Hugs to all, Sylvia

Hi Cleo !!
Please may I propose Fran's Night Terrors for a Faery Award?
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=4119
I think Fran has brilliantly expressed the relationship between a mother & child, at bedtime, when Mummy is trying to soothe baby into a restful sleep, in spite of the horrors, yes, the horrors, that actually do go on in this world.
The poem evokes profound reflections and doubts on the mother's side, when, perhaps unwittingly, she transmutes the word "lie" (for lying down comfortably to sleep), into "lies", meaning the actual lies we tell children, hoping to lull them into a deep, healing sleep.
The lines of Fran's poem also fit in very well with the theme of nightmares, because she uses words or phrases that are very much related to dreams or, if one wishes, surreal experiences born from dreams. Or plain amusing names that mothers invent, when putting their child to bed !
Hugs to all, Sylvia PS: I prefer her original, with minor changes, but never mind, it's all fantastic, in my humble opinion !

Hi Lori,
I'd like to nominate James' Paper People, posted in Hermes, for a Crown Jewels Award
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=3481
Though not the easiest poem to read for different reasons, it is unforgettable and of the many poems on MM it is the one that has stuck in my mind and moved me the most. It is a very powerful poem, that is quite disturbing to read because it evokes very strong, vivid images in my mind, almost like a nightmare.

Nina,
Gosh, that is a powerful reaction. I'm stunned.
Thank very much you Nina - but sorry to give you neo-nightmares though.
On the one hand, it is great to write something which evokes a strong reaction - on t'other I don't want to scare you or others.
Thank you for the nomination, also.
Fran, Thanks for your comments too - and for seconding the nomination.

Hi James
I didn't mean it gave me nightmare. It is more the way the different almost disjointed images one after another, flash through my mind and the feel is similar to that of a nightmare and very powerful, disturbing, not frightening.

Hi Cleo ! I would like to nominate Don's poem Downsize Show for a Crown Jewel's Award. http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=4906I just had another read and think it's a brilliant piece. I agree with you that Don should send it to the major newspapers or maybe to the President himself. It certainly carries a punch, which is what the Crown Jewel's Award is about, and tho' Don says it's F.V., nevertheless I detect form in the background... well, ya know me, lately i'm seeing form all over the place.... (i'm into Intelligent Design and all that ....ha...ha...) :p Shock By the way, Don, if you read this, all I can say at the witching hour is that I think you should leave "Thespians". You'll have to work out the other bits with James, since you asked him to go ahead & do his critting ! Best to all, Sylvia

Hi Cleo ! May I propose a Faery Award for Billydo's (Mike) poem " Argh" located at: http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=4962I think it's brilliantly set out, super original, unconventional and cool.... A knockout ! Fantastic wording, as well. As I was saying elsewhere, I hereby propose a new plaque for transgressive, lawless, futuristic stuff with original layouts and any other qualifications that make it VERY different from the usual poetry, including irregular punctuation (or none at all) and loopy spacing, etceteraaa..... Well, that said, I shall go have that beer before retiring to me bedchamber... Hugs to all, Sylvia :block:

I'd like to nominate the Flash-Jam response Zephyrina by James (Jox) for a Faery Award

It is a superb piece with great depth for a short piece, very philosophical and wonderfully sensual and simply a brilliant flash.

I hereby nominate Grace's poem "Excalibur" as found here:

I find this jewel best demonstrates form in writing. It has rhythm, rhyme, meter and is a genuinely wonderful story to read and re-read!

Hi Lori !!
I'd like to nominate Grace's MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM for a Faery Award, may I?
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=8361
She's still doing a little work on it, but it's so beautiful that I can't wait any longer to suggest this nomination...
Hugs, Sylvia PS: BTW, I found it a trifle difficult to find this nomination forum. In the Index at the bottom it just says something about Kings & Queens, but the words "member's nominations" (or something to that effect), doesn't figure. I suggest a change here, Lori, to make it clearer to members that THIS FORUM is where one posts suggestions for awards. What do you think? I'm posting the suggestion here, since this is where my difficulty cropped up, and I've been a member for quite a long time !!!

Hi Lori !
May I suggest Merlin's DESERT CROSSING for a Faery Award? I think it's a brilliant poetical description of crossing a searingly hot desert, without using the words that were banned in the challenge. Plus a few other words that Merlin also chose to avoid... impressive !!!
And such original imagery and thoughts, all in villanelle form, or, as Merlin puts it, Vill & Nell !!!

FAERIE AWARD: Liz' poem, 'Senescence'. It's a wonderful Triolet, demonstrating shifts in meaning, as it should do. It's inspiring to see the way she worked on it, and the subject matter is poignant. She shows the old person's feelings rather than telling them. Yep. A big fat beautiful Faerie award is merited; she made me want to write a Triolet.

FAERIE AWARD. Jax, for 'The Taste of Peach is Heavy on our Tongues.' Brilliant freeform. Poetic language. Originality. And he gutted me with the content. My freeform muse is raring to go. Do you have any male faeries? Oh well. He's not partial to them anyway, but a beautiful Sprite is a kind of faerie, and he'd like that I think. Please, a magic supernatural being to grace Jax' tiles. http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10194

FAERIE AWARD. I nominate Nada Lott for 'A Sharecropper's Prayer.' It is written in anapestic metre, which is not easy. I'm inspired by the way she did it so naturally, incorporating local lingo as she went. The poem is worthy in itself; the easy pace, unobtrusive rhymes, the poignant story so well shown and neatly concluded, combine to create a very pleasing piece of work. She also manages to include assonance in all that, and retains the principle character's voice throughout. This is a very good poem, but I want the Faerie for her because she captured the anapestic spirit and delighted my muse. http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10187

I would like to nominate Mary Sullivan Boren's 'The Captive' for the Faerie award. The poem is in Herme's Homilies. This poem presents the exuberance of youth guided by the loving hand of a father. It demonstrates a step taken toward goodness and is a superb metaphor showing how God as the Father guides his children in their daily lives. I find this poem a brilliant composition. Michelle

Please accept my nomination of "Captive Bred," by Eisa, for the Crown Jewels Award. It is posted in Hermes: http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=10977I'm taken with this poem not only because the thought-provoking message hits home, but also because of the effective alliance of form and content. Eira clearly knew what she was doing in choosing the Logarhyme. The short lines interspersed between couplets echo the feeling of holding one's breath while looking at the animals on display. This captures the emotion a zoo evokes from me, as I am drawn to the cages but at the same time repelled by the idea of them. Good job, Snow! Mary

I would like to nominate Cailean's poem 'Invader' for a Faery Award. I think he has achieved great atmosphere and imagery; it is enigmatic, as well, so food for thought.

Hi Lori!
I would like to nominate Ron's sonnet:A Changing World for a Crown Jewel Award.
It has impressed me intensely, due to the perfect form and profound meaning, with a touch of humor thrown in, tho' quite subtle & perhaps ironical. He'll probably refute my interpretation of his piece, but I understand that A Changing World refers to one that goes around in circles...LOL... Excellent vocabulary and metaphors.
Hope you'll agree....
Cheers, Syl ***

Hi Lori!
May I nominate Snow's poem The Nestling for a Faery Award?
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=12296
The way she has related a fallen nestling with a true event of 40 years ago is striking and highly original, as well as eye-opening. The poem brings tears to one's eyes, since one can visualize the sequence of events as if one were viewing a part of a movie...it's so real! Past and present, revisited, with excellent vocabulary and imagery.

I would like to nominate Thoth's poem Shrine of the Red Hornet Queen for a King Award. I think it's an exceptionally gripping epic poem, wonderfully rhymed, giving one the real "feel" of those lands and legends. I believe he's going to make a few tweaks still, but meanwhile he deserves the plaque, IMHO.

Good morning everyone. Could I please nominate Marc's poem, 'Mechanics of Evolution' for the Faery award. His use of such delicately erotic language was an absolute delight. If there is also an award for attempting to weld a miscellaneous collection of stroppy poets into writers of correctly structured sonnets - he should have that too. Love to all, Leo

Hey Steve, what a lovely surprise! Thanks so much.
IMHO, it's FV because it has no fixed form, neither for the rhyming nor metre. I just worked in some inner & end rhymes as they came to my mind, but there's no pattern. I wanted to make it sound musical, but without restrictions of form.
Let's see what Lori says! Meanwhile, hugs and good luck with your home improvements! Take care, Steve!

I would like to Nominate Larry for the Crown Jewels Award.
Larry has shown great versatility (like the pun) by not only writing a poem using heptameter, but a Shakespearean style sonnet.
Outstanding poem.
