Have you met crystal lane swift?

Perhaps so, maybe you mean it so, maybe not. I think not, otherwise a crab would do. The fish is often a reward for a trained seal.

I couldn't help but notice a fish made an unannounced entrance and then just disappeared. This is how it should be.

yeah that's right; an eight-inch blade. That'd damage the internal organs of even a super-porker.

To answer your first question: I did. I sang them because I was taught, and I still think my parents were right to teach them. They said their world was going to the dogs, and it wasn't near as bad as mine in regard to the moral issues they and you are complaining about. Still I sing Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men, because it's right and they were right and you are right if you don't lose faith. UNTIL THEN.

I don't think it's sexist.

It is a very simple example of math indeed, but that’s the point. If he touted something he could not fully believe, then he would always have a question behind his words, the nagging uncertainty. He had no doubt in his belief and could preach with confidence.

It’s one of the more dangerous things to say, but zodiac is right.

That’s no excuse! Stand in the corner until it’s done.

Thanks, and that’s a better way to write the equation, given a stiffly text-only format.

This reminded me of Gacy. With the whole Killing Kids and being a clown thing. I liked it!

oh my that is extremely difficult . . . like choosing a favorite sonnet by shakespeare . . . i do not know there are so many gems in his writings, i could send you a list of favorite poems perhaps . . . i suppose if i had to choose, the last two lines, of this one poem, (this title is not coming to mind as of current) go: "i'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach 1000 stars how not to dance" but all in all, i love a great deal of his work . . . -mega

There is quite a bit there. I'd like to see some stanza breaks. And as one example, you tell me "my old feeble body" - I rather get that from the rest, or should. Telling me the same thing several times in standard ways, is not nearly as effective as telling me once - but in a memorable way. Having said that, I think this is a notch or so above average; some good vocab. It could pretty easily be more - might even be a two or more poems in here.

Hey -=DA=- which standard comment response is this one? Number 11, I think.

Jesus Christ. Of course your enjoyment is not what counts. This isn't some self-help group. This is the mean streets of poetry buddy. We cut the mustard with an eight-inch blade and don't you forget it.
