Pardon me Ed, Perhaps you should back off and stop with your assumptions first of all. Second of all I gave you a few facts as to why my spelling and grammer is so far off, admitted, apologized and mearly shed some light on the subject. Third off, yes i am young in some's eyes. Is this a bad thing??? Last but not least could we get of this poor womans comment page, I'm sure no one wants to hear what you or myself has to say to eachother. If you wish to throw more judgments or insults my way could you at least have the courtisy to do so on one of my own poem comment pages? Sorry to all those who have had to read all this crap. Most of all sorry to poetess. I never should have let it go this far. ~Autumn

Delilah was needed to cut Sampson's hair. Judas was needed to betray Jesus. Two thieves needed to be crucified beside Him. So it seems. Try spacing this out and defining the thoughts into verses, and then see if it really makes sense, or maybe a step toward something else.

Funny, I wasn’t laughing when I ate the bread and wrote the line.

That’s ok. I don’t expect everyone to relate events the way I do or remember traumas and pleasures so similar to mine that connections pop up spontaneously in the same way they do for me. Maybe the reason I write so many poems, and so many of them are not understood is that my history is more tangled in incongruities than most. It’s comments like yours that show me a need to get beyond the place of feeling a connection to the place where I can relate it someone of different background. I was sitting at a bar one evening recently, the only customer in the place, while Sheala, the bartender, dealt me the comforting talk a bartender is supposed to. It’s her profession to serve wine and comfort, and she did it with the concern and dedication of a church pastor. The bar seemed like a pulpit in my youthful church, and the waiters setting tables in the adjoining restaurant seemed like the elders, admittedly a stretch. Watching over everything was Rose, the proprietor. There’s a deep connection between bar emotions and church emotions. Check it out sometime when you’re in either place.

What's this about? Since the elders are setting "tables," there must be quite a few of them (since the poem mentions 1 paritioner, 1 administrator, and 1 pastor). Is the poem about the otherizing -- everyone but you is an elder/pastor/administrator? Like your other religious-themed poetry, I'm afraid the meaning is lost on me.

"a victory lost to a bittersweet -- defeat." I'm not sure what the victory would have been. As I read it, the poem is solely about defeat.

Substitutionary is funny. Dyn-O-MITE!

I think this is poetic and potentially potent.

PPS I assumed you were young. It may be far worse than I origninally thought.

P.S. In order to learn how to speak and write a language, one need not attend school.

"Yes my English is by far not up to par, for that i have , and do apologize. My grammer is even worse" You have just admitted to incompetence as a writer. Can you not see this? I never asked for your sordid family history. Please keep the details of your life to yourself, until you get to the Jerry Springer stage. Then let them fly like your shoes. Mr. Hot Shot is out to lunch. Would you like to leave a message?
Re: a comment on Apostrophetic Loss by Dovina	Dovina 12.72.2.254	15-Mar-05/7:06 AM
No. Is that the sort of direct answer you want? Frame a question to kill the person you "love"? Oh, yes, you said "measure of my love" Sorry.

I believe god is very compassionate, the suffering well we create that ourselves. Rest assured he knows of the suffering, and will walk beside you on the journey to healing and growth, but will not take the steps for you. Free will was given to each and every one of us, he lovingly stands back and lets us fall while holding his breath, like a parent watching a child learn to walk. In order to learn how to walk you must also learn how to fall, and eventualy that child will know how to catch herself before she falls. Although it can be a rough lesson, in the end that child learned alot of valuble lessons. Think not of God turning a blind eye to his children, realize that we all must learn to walk our path on our own. For if someone does everything for you in life and gives you all the answers, what have you really learned?. The devil well once again i do not believe in the devil, I do believe there are many evil things in this world, Like selfishness, heartless-ness, greed, ego, and money lol. thos are your devil. ~Autumn

I am sorry, yes i know my English is horrid. Rest assured i do plan to go back to school, Once my children are alittle older, Until then i work with what i have. Forgive my mistakes. ~Autumn
Re: a comment on wishes by the_poetess	Rainbow_chaser 64.229.200.203	15-Mar-05/6:00 AM
I am not incompetent thank you very much!. Yes my English is by far not up to par, for that i have , and do apologize. My grammer is even worse, AS for a teacher... ummm ive been out of school for 12 years, i do plan to go back once my babies are alittle older. But i assure you i am not incompetent, just lacking alot of schooling.. and before you go jumping the gun saying im a drop out, i was signed out of grade 9 when i was kicked out of my house!. It really shocks me that some of you people can be so quick to judge, so quick to assume you are all knowing. It is truly pathetic! as for my nic rainbow chaser, it speeks of an animal who can stalk, waiting for the right moment to grasp what it is he wants.. The animal reeks of introspection... So mr hot shot, can you figure out what animal i speek of? ~Autumn

Can't one remember that something felt not-good? In your rush to criticize, you may have ignored gramatical accuracy. Thanks for your vote & comment.
