Bloody Hell Seamus!
You know I want to be in the club-BUT, I can't write on demand.
****(translation: string of profanities)
Can I be- club mascot?
And if number 21 is left over- as I have a feeling it might be; can it be mine? I should like to call her Lorenza.
Ciao bello
LMN,
21 is yours! Feel free to post it to your blog. I'm sure you'll be able to find some little verse to put up alongside it! Take your time:) Welcome to the circle.
I blushed when I read your description, you did more than just kiss that blarney stone.
PS we've got 3 cats, all born in on the Persian rug in our living room- different litters, think that qualifies us as cat lovers too.
LMN, I just knew you would be a cat person! Yes, you will take care of your lion then.
I echo that bloody hell. I want to join too but I've flown the coop and gone back to Novapulse. Can I be a nonblogging member of the club? Or is it exclusive, she asked, sharpening her talons...
let mine be known as Bucephalus! the poem/prose will come real soon.
CS,
Excellent! Bucephalus it is, which I will google tout de suite! :)
I'm so jealous of that name Bucephalus!
I considered Marmaduke-but...
Welcome Deepthi.
And Seamus, I know you won't believe me BUT Eugene-not the name, the lion; was the other one I seriously considered. Aesthetically he appealed to me the most, but I chose Lorenza because she has a saddle. Say no more.
couldn't wait for the scimitar to fall, decided to cut my own throat. 48 bloody words!
Excellent LMN, I will paste your poem over soonest ... re almost choosing the same lion, great minds etc etc :) Wonderful. You made a good choice though! Saddle brings up lots of symbols.
Just a little technical update - every member now has their own post, to enable personal comments from readers.
Shameless: I have named my lion, sort of. He is called Nameless Lion. I'll add his to my site and pop up some verse in the next couple of days...
Can I have 22 please, Shameless? He is beautiful, magnificent and strong - quite an inspiration.
If I'm given permission to adopt I shall name him and write about him then...
Think this is wonderful idea BTW.
Maht, great, I shall update your entry here. Nameless and shameless. Wonderful.
Clare,
Yes, 22 is another of my favourites. I left a message over on my main blog to say that yes, I hereby announce that lion 22 is now in your loving care. Your details will be added below later today. Welcome .. nice to have you on board. :)
thanks! i had no idea i was accepted :D
Hi Me, I mean, Hi you, I mean Me, yes you've been accepted ... official announcement was over at Shameless Words. Welcome! :)
Just wanted to let you know that my lion has asked to be called Leonardo, and his photo and verses will be up this weekend (if all goes well).
Excellent Sognatrice! :) I will add his name straight away. Looking forward to the verses.
Thanks for the cool looking lion man!
A short poem is up at my blog.
Thanks once again, its been my desire to keep a lion as a pet :) :)
N
Wonderful stuff Nothingman. I'm putting up your entry on this blog soon. Good to have you with us! :)
whooot. 10 more!
Hi Seamus,
Lion 26 installed and called
Cardamom, The Mane Man.
Excellent, Jon ... great name! Your listing will be updated with a review of your blog soon. :)
Cardamom.
At first he looks flimsy
All peacock colours and no substance
Blank white and lines and curves
And letters that mean nothing
Look closer
The names of the world
Are writ large on his hide
And in some its fate
Perhaps
Or its fault.
Poor lion to carry such a burden.
I have posted my lion on the sidebar. Yet to name him and write something worthy for him. I can't think of any name other than Simba! Not too original. I will think of something in a day or two and post it on my blog!!
Please may I have #30, Seamus? I'm sure his name is Roary, and I've already written a "poem" of sorts in his honor, posted on two of my blogs: Bonnie's Books and Words from a Wordsmith. I know my little ditty is not worthy of such a magnificent lion, but it just seemed appropriate when I studied the "screaming" faces below his feet and felt the power of his roar. I've been enjoying him since I found him this morning, and I do so hope you'll let me adopt him.
I have named my lion....the one with all the spikes...Nin.
If you know about popular music, you may get the reference. :-)
I named my lion err lioness, LEOLA!
Wrote 48 words for her too!
Check out Leola
or
http://firmlyrooted.blogspot.com/2007/06/leola.html
My Lion is Johnny Cash.
Here is his poem (go me who didn't think I could write a word on command).
Johnny Cash Blues
No one loved Mr. Johnny Cash.
He wasn’t flashy as they might be.
Forty-eighth picked, he was the very last
Selected. O what sad a lion once was he!
He thinks: “Better not to dwell on such a thing.
Sure all can roar but only few can sing.”
Line breakage messy!
'they' in line 2 should be in italics, as well as the last 2 lines that are in quotes for a total of 6 lines.
Merci Seamus
We are complete! HOORAY!!!
Welcome Jessica and Johnny, congratulations!
Now!!! Onto the next steps...
Scarlett & Viaggiatore
Dew, of the blog “The Hidden Side of a Leaf”, made the suggestion of a group building exercise for the Shameless Lions Writing Circle. He left it on my Image & Verse blog. I think it is a great idea!
He also suggested an evolving story as an excellent way to do it.
I think as soon as the lion's beauty pageant, and writing contest is complete -- we should pursue this group-building story.
Maybe we follow what might be a logical flow, and start the story by Seamus contributing the starting paragraph (no more than 3-4 sentences) — then Seamus passes to Lion #1.
Then beginning with lion #1 through lion #48, in numerical order — each lion, through its owner, will contribute a 3-4 sentence paragraph building the story until it is 48 paragraphs long.
Each lion should endeavor to pass the story along as quickly as possible — but it might be wise to put a 2-3 day time limit for each lion to add its paragraph.
The building story should be monitored by Seamus, or one of the lions, to keep it moving — and displayed on the Shameless Lions Writing Circle blog.
Yikes, Shamey. Just tried to put Shimshon on sidebar but he doesn't want to go! (Bloody stubborn, these lions.)
Can you give me an idea how to do it? I have a weird version of Blogger that still uses html for template so don't know how to get the image in.
Debi,
I can only tell you if it's the new blogger ... with a helpful button already set up for pics in sidebars. The photo gets downsized as well. Do you have the beta version. Can Minx or someone techny help? :)
Shameless, thanks for the very warm welcome. I feel at home already :)
My lion's name is Azubuike, which means "Your past is your strength". I've also written my poem, which is up on my site.
Shameless _____ very beautiful. is the words that I obtain to say_____ very beautiful!
Kiss
Thank You so much Shameless!
My Lion's name is Leah
The verse should be up in a days time! :)
HELLO , i am a lion from Christchurch, New Zealand. My beloved Lions fell off their podiums and crashed to their demise in our big earthquake in February. I am a writer who would like o be a Lion too...how do you become one?
Athena the Lion xx
