notapoet says to tell you he likes the sound of "cosnirpacy," too. As far as that speaking about yourself in the third person thing, he says that although he considers it to be just the tiniest bit weird, he supposes he can learn to overlook it. The non-poet is a pretty liberal guy, ya know.

Alrighty then, you got yourself a deal ...
P.S. White_Elephant says not to use really difficult words like cosnirpacy while in her presence (she likes to talk in the 3rd person when she feels stupid!)

But I like "peoms," W_E
It sort of fits with the non-poetry schtick. If they are non-poems, they might as well be peoms. As far as collaborating and marketing goes, I have no objections. Besides, three makes for a better conspiracy theory than just two.

Now you're joshing me, W_E
Hey, I just did another accidental rhyme! Uh, where was I? Oh, yeah. You'll never convince me that anything I can come up with is too deep for that FineYoungMind.

forgot to say that your notapoem was waaaaaaaaay too deep for me to understand ... so if it's alright with you I'll stick to marketing bit NOT the writing! Thanks!

Opheliablue ... Notapoet
I like your idea of the "collaborative book of poetry." .... and I think I have the right requisites to join in - so that makes us three ... three highly intelligent (?) people with a high potential to write highly lucrative peoms ... I'll even volunteer to do the HARD work - you two write the nonpeoms and I'll market them as peoms - we're all set then .... now the first thing I gotta do is to learn how to spell peom!

Thanks, FineYoungSinger
It's debatable how great it was. But if brevity is one of the criteria for greatness in poetry, I'm part way there. After so many words everything I write, regardless of original intent, turns into prose and gets a lot longer in a hurry.

Ladies first in the billing, opheliablue
I'm not sure how rich it's possible to get off a best-selling book of poetry, but I'm game to find out. Anything in the black would come in handy. Oh, and thanks for the extra smiley on my last post, too.

I like it -- particularly the part about making huuuuuuge amounts of money! I also like the phrase "a collaborative book of poetry." It sounds deliciously like a conspiracy theory.

LOL
I like it! Perhaps we could write a collaborative book of poetry - you and your non-poems and me and my GoodBad poems - and make a huuuuuuuge amount of money?!

Hi, Tony
That simple, huh? Maybe I should do more stuff off the top of my head. Sonnets like you do, though, that's way out of my league. Which reminds me, I have a pleasant day of catching up to do with your sonnets. I'll get started with my pre-breakfast installment shortly.

You've described the indescribable as indescribable -
That makes it good in my book! Well done!

Thanks, t_william
Although I would have settled for the proverbial two cents. Maybe there is some money in this poetry thing, after all.
