on some deleted poem

Qu'??tes-vous des types disant, est-vous un ce certain tri de code fran??ais? Je vraiment ne comprends pas vos commentaires. Laissez une r??ponse, merci.
I always approach titles as a summary of the piece that follows it. Sometimes it help clarify meaning. And given that you've been at pains to explain to readers that this is about people, why not make the explanation eimplicit in the poem itself by using it as the title? Besides which, it rocks.
Oh, I see! You believe that you're toying with me! Now it all makes sense. Though all your moves come straight from the book, that's OK; I haven't had a good recital in a while. Please continue.
PAKI: I know me telling you this is going to fit into your grand scheme of things, but you've missed the point. The point isn't that it's bad to jabber on; it's that even when the task for which jabbering was necessary is complete, the jabbering continues. god'swife: no, it's "I". It refers to a habit, not a prediction.
PAKI: What is your obsession with people being in cliques? I have never said anything like "nobody on this site can write for shit". If you read any of my comments about "good" poetry, you will see that I "praise" the pieces that I think are good. I have said that specific people cannot write for shit. You have also said such things. So what exactly is your problem? Instead of just vaguely insinuating that I'm a naughty boy, why not just come out with it and frankly share your anger with the world? (Don't tell me you still think I'm beakism?)
Oh yes, and that is just what we want our standards to be measured against: Bryon. A Romantic poet. Let's see, I believe we have passed through numerous "isms" since then and styles have evolved so you are right, we do not have any Bryon's here: thank god's wife. we do have people making pathic attempts to imitate the style and failing miserably, but we will leave those people out of this talk. In addition, if you measure everything on this site with such archaic standards, no wonder you spout the things you do. Read more poetry; evolve.
I was impressed indeed!"a leaf crossed his path and was carried on the wind,his dreams and future followed."I like to repeat it.liked it.7/10
Bryon was a much worse poet than Byron.
My problem (and it is not really a problem) was with beaker's (or your) initial comment to introduce himself more formally to this lovely gathering. And I believe that is the first time I mentioned clique unless you are referring to my wanting to know what a goth sort was in these millennium days.
It's good but "this mountain of life" sorry,makes the whole poem look like a dead metaphor.I'm sure you can state your point in some indirect way as you have done in the rest of it.I'll wait.
For titles, I would just have 'We are all wrong'. As for critiques from men - we're just too nice...
I believe I meant Byron there, pardon the dyslexic moment.
Nice? We are not nice; we are just driven by other motives half of the time.
Is that a royal We? I think you're nice.
Nice is a word that covers up for a multitude of sins
Men are definitely nice, very nice. "We are all wrong" sounds good, but wouldn't I be giving too much away right at the start?
But yeah, maybe I shouldn't speak for all of malekind... But there you go again. You only do it to make sure you get high scores from me!
Non! Je ne suis pas devenu fou! ZZ
