Great idea Meta! Not being very artsy myself I nominate Prince Phillip for this awesome post/poem a while back:


Long Ago

When the World was New

And Men first walked upon the lands

John Frum flew over Tanna

In the Airplane of Our Ancestors

He saw there was much quarrelsomeness

Brother fought with brother

Sister fought with sister

Husbands quarreled with wives

And John Frum was sad

Everywhere, there were arguments

Everywhere, there was shouting


And John Frum picked up his cup of Shut The Fuck Up

And he poured it over Tanna

And where it poured on the ground, the sacred Kava grew

And when the men drank the kava, they became quiet

And they listened to the song of the kava

And they listened to the voice of the ancestors

And they listened to the hearts of their brothers

And they listened to the hearts of their sisters

And they listened to the hearts of their wives


And the more they drunk, the more they shut the fuck up

And the more they shut the fuck up, the more their minds were opened

And the more they shut the fuck up, the more their hearts were opened


And John Frum was glad

For the farmers planted more kava

So that all the people would drink of the kava

And they would shut the fuck up


And the people of Vanuatu did grow kava

And the people of other islands did grow kava

In Melanesia, kava was grown

In Micronesia, kava was grown

In Polynesia, kava was grown


And John Frum was glad

And his brother Philip was glad

And Philip's Wife Elizabeth II was glad

For all around the world, the kava was drunk

And everywhere the kava was drunk, the people did shut the fuck up


So Sayeth John Frum

i could possibly make a musical submission....as i tend to rarely finish anything without deadline and/or reward.

Post if you guys are interested in entering! It wouldn't make sense to hold a contest if I can't at least get a dozen or so people to enter.

I can come up with something I'm sure. I would also be happy to help you judge mine as the best.

How about Rex's NEW Tongan? 
I think that everything I have done creatively in the last, well to be honest 10 years or so has been in ones sense or another kava related.(smiley: eek)

I was going to make a tanoa in pottery. I think I'm gonna go with a big bowl instead. The columns on the side are hard to make. It can be done, but it would be very hard to make it look good. I'll post pics of my pottery when I have some of my new stuff high-fired.
