coincidence, but now i think I want to see it. I once started a short story about a girl who grew a penis out of her elbow..

Any suggestions?

the hobbit is a badtime story, compared to LOTR. give yourself a nice little treat, and read it.

I didn't even see the film. How ignorant of me.

Dear Babbit11: A great job! It flows like a saddened river making its way down to a sea of melancholy and wine. I especially liked: "I share a smoke with myself and drink in some nameless bar overflowing with strangers I do not care to meet"------Absolutely wonderful! It reminds me of two weeks ago as my wife and I celebrated our son's 28th birhday in Houston. After dinner we went out to a neat little yuppie bar. There were two different fellows in a span of a two hour period who chose to(while standing)lean against this square wooden column and aimlessly (and quite clumsily) stare off into the space of a much younger crowd hoping for something to happen that they each quite obviously knew was impossible. I guess they were either new to town, divorced, or simply two men who either did not have, nor perhaps ever did have, the skills it takes to be sucessful at picking up "broads! in a bar. They each somehow dissapeared into the night! A good 10! Doug

The first part of that comment is wery perceptive, Mr. Bojangles. However, I'm afraid you will have no time to gloat, since by 3 o'clock this afternoon you will be dead. Dead of bum cancer. Goodbye, Mr. Bojangles.

Just out of curiosity... is there one hell of a big Tolkien-loving contingent on poemranker? I never got into the habit after reading The Hobbit and now I seem to be missing out on something. Aragorn for instance - what?

mind-boggling, and boggle-minded. almost makes you wanna...nevermind. reminds me of that time my friends and i gave that hitchhiker a 'ride home' from woodstock (94)....oh thrills we had...

Yes i've heard her read, it's shocking, well to me anyhow, how deep and throaty she is. (Sounds like an old madam.)Yes I love her yes it's good to make contact with someone who loves her yes I wish she hadn't done that but yes this is a hell of a world to be in. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE POEM??? if you don't mind.

Thanks Christof, glad you liked. And no, P&T, you most certainly cannot watch!

May I print this and hang it up in my kitchen? It's has such prettiness to it. Hair giving grip, fat giving way, knife's low wit. I wish I knew how to write. No matter gentlemen like you make it a pleaser just to read 10/10

that's pleasure, not pleaser. I'm the pleaser, well half the time.

And dude, that is hilarious. 7/10

great thoughts. really. Lot's of potentional. now write a poem about it. See Christof or babbitt for examples

I liked this because it speaks the truth that no one dare speak. I disagree with Babbit our master poet, the ending was good, pulling it all together. Did you kill him ? I'm definitely up for the counter top, the floor, the bed with him sleeping through the whole thing as we get wet with those legs of yours wrapped round us both !

first of I can't tell if your taliking about a special guys scrotum or what. So this is hard to evaluate. If you want this thing to be taken seriously I suggest you stick to one motif. Cherries and starfish, is that sexual?

This haiku thing is perfect for you. Your so brilliant that limiting you verbage helps us nincumpoops to comprehend your genius a little better. You know cause otherwise it's like starring into the sun 10/10

it's people like you who make people who are different feel bad about themselves (sniffle, weep)! kidding. not exactly inspired though.

10/10. I knew before I read your comments that you like Anne Sexton, I love her poetry. She was on the edge and you could sense it all the time in her writing, if you want to hear her read one of her best see :- http://www.poets.org/poems/poems.cfm?prmID=1071 My favourite is " Just Once "
