How many times must I repeat
That all of you can take a seat
The EOL is over and done
The winner is chosen and I have won

IMHO poetry is more difficult to write than a full story. In poetry, we must convey a thought in a mere line or stanza, whereas, in a story, we have the freedom to express ourselves in paragraphs or chapters. Given that, poetry is best enjoyed by all five senses. The smell of a rose plucked from a garden. The taste of rain on your tongue. The feel of flesh as it is caressed. The sound of a moan in ecstasy. The eyes are the gateway to all of our senses. Each word read to be felt and interpreted by the reader.

Oh, wait!
Did I miss cake?
It must be a mistake.
Oh, for heaven's sake.
I guess the EOL is mine to take.

From what I am reading, this competition to honor the legacy of Dirtymartini is a complete success. So many wonderful stories by so many wonderful authors. I am humbled to be amongst all of you.
Very nicely done Maggie, Molly, Gillian, Anna, anybody I forgot? If so, my apologies.
I can't take any credit for this, Larry. I was away on holiday when it happened.
You were there in spirit. We channeled you.

You left out Mr. Rumple deWriter, and it was his gentle nudge that got this thing off the ground.
I agree about the entries so far. I’m very pleased and impressed by the creativity of our members!
Well, there ya' go... once again my best intentions took a left turn into the outhouse.
My sincerest apologies to another blue and red icon... Mr. Rumple deWriter.
I suppose all hope is gone now for a T-shirt from the Honkytonk and Cyber Bar.

Hey everyone. I'm Julie. I came over from red and thought I would stop by and introduce myself. Smutty storytelling is secondary to my desire to become a better writer and share my ideas with like-minded people.
Many of my ideas are better suited to live here and after I heard about this contest in Rump's bar, I thought it would serve as a nice opportunity to make my way over.
I did not know Alan since I haven't been around either site very long. I did read a few of his stories and checked out his page. I love how it's been immortalized in his memory. He had a very unique and clear voice and I really enjoyed the handful of pieces I read. Birthday Party, his EP, was particularly fantastic and incredibly emotional.
It's awesome that you all decided on such a cool tribute in his memory. I'm honored to be a part of it in my own small way. I was unsure how to create something that was very specific, or special to him, so I came up with an idea that was a little bit different. I hope my entry is suitable and honors him while tying into the heart of the theme.
Given the amount of time and effort he put in as a mod here, I like to think that he would be pleased to see a few new faces and writers around here.
Welcome to the blue Julie... and thank you for joining in our humble attempt to honor a mentor and friend. You will find some friendly and helpful members here. Many of us have come over from the red. I hope you find this place a home and look forward to more of your work.

Thanks for doing this Maggie. I like the way both sites have memorialized an icon. Alan was a unique individual and it will be interesting to see how he is presented by his many friends. I will do my best to honor him knowing that it isn't about winning a competition, but rather, being a part of this tribute.
