Hi Lori

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

http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=5588

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

Hi Nina, Fran,

Thank you very much indeed for this nomination - a lovely surprise. I'd had some very kind feedback on this flash but I didn't realise it was appreciated quite so much.

Thank you Nina for your nomination - and Fran for your seconding. I'm very touched.

J.

Hi Lori,

Yes I'll second Fran's poem.

It has both political topicality and humanity as its core themes and is written really well, too.

Thanks, Lori, James blush.gif cloud9.gif

Please may I nominate a tile, too? I would like to nominate James's poignant poem on the thoughts of a young suicide bomber, And the Girl with Chestnut Hair (Seren's)
http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=4577
I think this is very though provoking and manages to capture both the humanity and inhumanity of the narator's situation - not any easy balance to achieve without cliche.

Hugs,

Fran

Hi Lori

I'll second James' poem.  It is very thought provoking and with the recent suicide bombings in London still very much in the news, scarily topical

Hi all,

I'd like to nominate Lori's "Dark Ages, 2005" for a Farey Award.

Dark Ages, 2005 here

As I said at the time:

"Wow, Lori, this is powerful and I think for you - unusually topical.

You've used several techniques plus references to history to make your point very well."

The poem makes interesting comparissons between history and today's "caring society". Well done, Lori.

James.

Thanks Lori - but you certainly deserved it. :)

Thank you very much Fran and Nina for my nomination - greatly appreciated; though I wish the material for my poem didn't exist.

Thank you - and thanks to Lori for the work sorting the awards out.

Hi

Faery Award Nomination.

I wish to nominate Nina's new poem "Taken By The Sea." (Freeform)

It is a multi-interpretable poem which shows the power of something greater than human conscience. Actually, it shows many things, depending on one's interpretation(s).

http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?showtopic=7021

Nina writes many excellent poems but I still think this is one of her best. It is also a superb lesson in crafting a minimalist freeform poem - with its economy and precision of language.

I hope others agree that it is a fantastic poem.

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

http://forums.mosaicmusings.net/index.php?...ost&p=69584

for the Crown Jewels award.

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!  vic.gif

Congrats Grace! claps.gif

Hi Lori !! lovie.gif

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... cloud9.gif

Hugs,

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 !!! blush.gif

Hi Lori ! sun.gif

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.

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.
