Can we do a poetry league?

[Vulgar]

j

[big baby]

I need an excuse to write poetry.

A league can guarantee one poem a week, IMO.

Anyone interested? It's about time. I'd rather not moderate it because I fucking suck at moderating.

[Clutbuck]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this will never fucking happen here.

Man up, faggot. :)

[Sharp]

find a mod cause coming out of a giant topical tourney you have more and more topical heads with nothing better to do... poetry can't be that much of a stretch for most of them
Dr Dog Certain Witty

[Certain]

I'm in to participate and wait until the last minute to write a half-asleep poem every week.

[Vulgar]

lol dope. You can be my opponent erryweek then.

I'll mod it. Ill have someone pick my topic every week.

[Split Eight]

I'm in. Cannot commit to weekly league mod duties until after the 27th, but would happily oblige after then, but a league should happen

[Split Eight]

Yes Vulgar should mod

[Sharp]

and if its not obvious you have my support and i'll help out where i can except for the actual poetry

but setting battles/doing records etc is something i'm willing to help with to lessen the load

[Certain]

True, I only beat you when I try.

[Mr. J]

Why don't you just pose like a dainty flower waiting to be pollenated and I'll pluck you out of that mindstate and get AOWL going...





















just kidding Voltaire...

[Witty]

I'm down to compete.

[Hush]

Why don't you just do the topical league where ppl can request poem battles like they do with pic battles in the nbl


As to not split the member base any thinner
My 2 cents

[mayniuhh]

everything is comfusing to me...

so is this where actual abstraction would be appreciated?

This is also a good idea.

[Objective]

Count me in for the poetry league or whatever, Hush's idea is dope too.

[Mr. J]

You do know it would have to be agreed upon by both sides though right?
just doa poetry week or two in AOWL

I admit it would be nice due to diversity
but you can't put a Poem up against a Topical

[makajibbz]

yes i will win dis

[Clutbuck]

I have no clue on the first thing about poetry or what I'm meant to be voting on/doing

I'd wager 90% the board haven't either lol

[Inno]

Finally this could work here.

[~RustyGunZ~]

Aren't topicals poetry?

[Vulgar]

Finally this could work here.

With your help, this could definitely have a better chance of working out here. I appreciate you over on RB with the poet's society. What do you think, should I go ahead and mod it? Or just request poetry battles in the topical league when it pops off again...

Brah with you behind it it will work.

I can help if you need a hand you know im so down for this lol

[Vulgar]

Think you could bring over some poetry heads from RB to try it out over here?

[Objective]

A majority of the topical heads have participated in poetry leagues and battled each other on set forms like haikus, sonnettes and shit before. I don't expect a lot of the battlers that mainly do NBL etc. to be joining it though. I think it's cool af. Interesting to hear you talking about voting on/doing when you said poetry was only for faggots though, cool to see you questioning yourself. If it becomes a reality you should join and see if it's for you.

[Inno]

Yeah i can pm a couple of people ill do that tonight

[Witty]

I've been writing poetry since I was a childrin.

[Inno]

You here that grammar.

Witty doesnt give a fuck about you yo

[Vulgar]

Yeah i can pm a couple of people ill do that tonight

Props!

[Inno]

Done.

Ill hit up more as i remember there stupid names

[Razah]

Aren't topicals poetry?

I wouldn't say so.

[dead man]

in the loosest sense of the word, this sentence is poetry

i support this fully.

we should poach some of the active poetry heads from RB and complete our takeover of all competitive internet writing.

[Eŋg]

verse = poetry

it doesn't have to be good. it might even be doggerel. it's still poetry.

[Sn00p]

what is the difference between poetry & topicals to yall? becuz like hush & knuckle said, if there isn't any clear cut one, why not integrate it into the topical league?

just an outsider's pov--

[Vulgar]

There's a large difference.

On rap forums, verses are supposed to rhyme and be either hip hop or literary, complementing the format with your style. The main objective is to rhyme.

With poetry, rhyming literally does not matter at all. It's optional. This is what sets it apart from verses quite distinctly and significantly. There is far less of a "hip hop" umbilical cord with poetry. It can be disconnected from all types of music, and still stand on its own. With verses, it's hard to do that because rap, as an art form, caters to the traditional elements that it was built upon. Poetry is a much more archaic art, more open to interpretation and variables during execution.

This is my view of the difference.

[Split Eight]

actual abstraction is always appreciated when it's done well


there's not so much of a storytelling element in poetry, which makes it easier and tougher in many different ways

[mayniuhh]

and then, I gun in mouth, nodded to the ghost of a knowing Homer who loled.

[mayniuhh]

I flat out disagree that (a) rap or (b) topicals need to rhyme. They need to flow, preferably in, through and about a small series of melodies, true.

But rhyme?

No one will ever agree with me on that though, which is fine.

[Hush]

[Vulgar]

If possible, I can start it up now. I won't do magazines for it until the topical tournament is over, but setting up battles is simple enough.

flow without rhyme is closer to spoken word than anything

There was a league (or tournament? I don't remember) on a site full of fail and deceit that ended up in a couple people getting a few bucks on amazon or something a couple years ago that had lots of activity, I think it was named textstars.com or some shit that brought some concept from here on there until the owner couldn't hold his word about payments to winners and eventually went bankrupt and killed himself, I don't remember to be honest but he kept a distance at least and closed the site down without further adieu. A lot of dope stuff went down there and from time to time people post poetry pieces in the OM and on rare occasions in the BA I think, I don't know, I'm not to be found in the BA but there's interest for it as you can see in this thread.

[Mr. J]

So......

[Witty]

The revelation that Vulgar is HSB just blew my mind.

I'm actually a little depressed now tbh.

Stop being such a talented fucker, it is bad for my self esteem.

You can't be in my top 5 topical writers and my top 5 poets.

That's greedy.

Stop it plz.

[Vulgar]

Very well. I am in fact not HSB.

[Inno]

Very well. I am in fact not HSB.

[UnbornBuddha]

I haven't done poetry in so long, this definitely sounds like fun. I may have to brush up in the stylistic differences of the various kinds of poems. I do love haikus though, Basho being my favorite.

[El Muffin]
