OK

As of now I have compiled a master list for the Poetry Telephone Game which
is:

Colin (Ward)
Crystal
PJR
Michael Cook
Thomas Dillion
Rik Roots
michael (?)
Dale Houstman
Zinc
Julie Carter
sophie

If your name is not on the list - - - You Are Not Playing This Time.
(sorry)

The list is already much larger than I expected.  Here is how gameplay is
anticipated:

1)  I will send out an original poem to a member of the list.  (The order
may change at my discretion)

2)  That member has 24 hours to re-write and return the message
incorporating their own style, unique flair for language and meaning but
maintaining some aspect or relevance to the original.  (any tenuous thread
or inspiration is fine)

    *If you are not available to re-write in the next 24 hours but would
still like to play that is fine, return the message with a note and I will
move you in the list.

    **If you have  changed your mind and would no longer like to play please
simply return the message with a note and I shall remove you from the list.

3)  I will forward only the rewritten poem to the next player (possibly
randomly selected) who will receive the same ,mission should they choose to
accept.

4)  I will post the full chain in temporal order at the end of the game and
possibly also as separate threads.

5) I am accepting any generous suggestions as to improvements to gameplay.

6) If you post with a "munged" address, please send me an e-mail at my
address with a valid e-mail addy.

Thanks for playing!!

Have FUN!!
