Topic awaiting preservation: free verse association...

anything goes.
take it to the limits of your imagination
(if you have one)
there is no destination...

(ok then-i know it's been a long weekend, and i was trying really hard to wait for someone else to carry on-but, i can't contain myself-i cannot, in reality, go backward, and Now, i can't remain Here-so my only option seems to be to move forward; unless of course, someone invents a viable time machine-in which case the question (the question) would become; "can history be rewritten?" or merely obseved from a different angle?-and when you add up all the angles, what do you get?- a circle?-and, unless you drew the circle, how do you know where the circle begins and ends?-which brings me back to the destination...)

[interruption]Um, I actually saw this thread and had no idea what it was about or what we were supposed to do. I know of something called "free verse," and I know of something called "free association," but I've never heard of anything called "free verse association."

After seeing your second post, though, I'm guessing that you're talking about stream of consciousness... am I right? In other words, one person just babbles for a while and then the next person takes up where they left off? If that's the case, I think a better term would be "associative stream of consciousness." Not that it really matters at this point, of course, but I think the lack of participation was caused by the fact that nobody had any idea what you were talking about. Or maybe it was just me and the rest of you are figments of my imagination. I actually had a stuffed purple dragon/dinosaur named Figment when I was younger. I vaguely remember that it was a character in some Disney World movie/attraction, and my parents bought it for me when we were there when I was five. I was rather attached to Figment, and I have distinct memories of running around my room searching for him, shouting "Figment! Figment!" and then throwing my arms around him when I finally found him.

So, anyway...[/interruption]
