Dear Moses,

I feel for your plight but how could I possibly help? I am merely a
poet, perhaps I could compose a sonnet for your cause? While I come
from a wealthy family I am not particularly well endowed.

Please respond if there is anything I could do for you.

Your Sincerely

Ian Jackov. Poet

Dear Mr. Jackson,
Thank you for your email.

I will really appreciate it if you can compose a sonnett for my organization,it will be in our brochures and handbills.

Regards,

Hm... it's a good job I *can* write a sonnet otherwise that would be one incredible waste of an opportunity. First I'll waste his time with silly questions like "if your organisation was a colour?"

Does he want a Petrarchian Sonnet or another kind? What meter? Iambics, stressed and unstressed syllables, anapests, spondees?

You need lots and lots of details about the company for inspiration. Who founded it? What's their life story? What did they look like? Can you talk to them? If they were being played in a film, who would play them?

What are their major projects?who directed them? Where were they? How rich did it make the company? Can you see the photos for inspiration? Does the company have a mascot, song, logo or motto? If not, your job will be impossible. Is there a colour, smell, taste, feeling and sound your company would be? What about a flower, destination, town? Why? Does it resemble a celebrity? Why? Can you draw the company? Describe it in one word?

And 'Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?'

Edited to add: if you do produce it, ensure it's the most garbled load of crap possible. Even better, have lots of artistic writers' block. But why write it at all when there are 10,000 cruddy poems on the 'net for you to replace?

Why not send him 10 poems and ask him to say which he likes best (with lots of other questions) so you 'have a good idea of what he wants'. Turn it into a Lad Literature Exam Very Happy

Hah, I thought of a few of those myself. I started him off with 5 easy ones to lull him into a false sense of security... I can't wait to see if he answers "If your organisation was a british move star which would it be and why?"

Send him a string of dirty limericks.

"There once was a girl from Lagos..."

Before I can write this I would need to gain some poetic inspiration
through a few key questions-

1) Describe your organisation's emotional motivation

2) If your organisation was a colour, which would it be?

3) If your organisation was a british movie star, which would it be?

4) If your organisation were an animal, would it be a carnivore or a herbivore?

5) Why?

6) Which word rhymes most lasciviously with your organisation's title?

his response

Quote:

Dear Mr. Jackson, dozy git got my name wrong again
Our emotional Motivation is that peace should prevail in the midst of voice!

I would prefer a green colour if my organization was one.

It would be james bond 007.

It will be chamelion.

Because it has passed through several stages.

CAVSIICON,rymes like call upon,what is wrong,whos turn etc.

Of course these initial questions aren't going to be enough. I'll require a few hundred more before I can perfect the final work.

I wonder what he hopes to accomplish by having me write a sonnet...

^^He probably wants a trophy to show all his buddies at the internet cafe.

Sometimes I wonder if he is scamming to get money to actually pull off his shit, he does sound genuine! Anyhoo

There was a man from Ghana
He was a bit of a nana
He asked for cash
Got sent trash
Now hes stuck in Tamala (shhh poetic license!)

He went for an dummy Aston Martin
But the Lord to Moses wasn't parting
He thought he was posh
But had no dosh
So he brought Vera (his tart) in

Vera loves Moses its true
What can a woman do?
She cut such a dash
He wanted her cash
But will end up in the poo
