How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.

There are limits to how far even milo will go.
I think.

I looked up limits in the thesaurus and one of the antonyms it gave was milo.

Leave milo alone, he's working -- you buggers should try it some time :p
No, you haven't missed out, it's a while before it gets to you. Don't worry, all, your chance will come.
It could be worse

Sorry for the delay folks, I will start this today.
Play goes as follows:
I send a poem to the first on the list.
They rewrite it and send it back.
I send it on the the next person.
Rinse and repeat.
I post them all in one thread.
We marvel at the metamorphosis.
Candy and comments for all!
list:
Ella
true
JM
Billy
JC
Keith
tomoffing
missing bob
kingmicahde
fogglethorpe

correct. otherwise the players would know how it started. I have sent part one off already, check your inboxes.
One final note: I am very likely to scramble the order so you have no idea who you are following

1 final change:

Current list:
Ella
true
JM
Billy
JC
Keith
tomoffing
missing bob
kingmicahde
fogglethorpe
Peter J. Ross
Gwyneth Box
(note: the list WILL be scrambled so you do not know who you are following!)

/I/ am the beautiful bohemian!
Anyway, Edna is currently listed as a "maybe but can't commit" on account of her being dead and all.

What?! Just yesterday she was the hottest thing around ...writing me all those sexy sonnets and love letters ...telling me how she would leave at the drop of a hat if I wasn't such a skilled lover and her girlfriends didn't love me so much ...

Update:
Play is moving right along so check your inbox! I did scramble the list so for those who thought they knew who they were following, think again. If you are impatiently waiting your turn feel free to visit the "Heroic crown of sonnets" thread, I think we are up to sonnet #6.
