Transvestites selling lube do not a maiden make.
Of course not, but I've grown up since then.
To further add to your humiliation, your second comment is not even true. We can hijack the letters A-Z, or indeed any other symbol representing any number, and use them perfectly well in base 35, base 10, or any other base.
In particular, Z0 in base-35 = 25*35 = 875.
Given that your first error revolved around this exact phenomenon, this is inexcusable.
8th time the charm.

Do you still think this?
Quite an enchanting narrative.
The scenery is beautiful. Your line-division, masterfully utilized.
Nice work.

i am disgraced by posting here.
i'm sure you didn't mean this as intelligence at all.
there is a classification of poetry that is so entirely abstract in its imagery that it is clever. However, that form of poeticism is carefully written. Yours is obviously a piece of mockery. But I like it.
It's got a cleverly abstract quality.
Like something I would write.
Except not quite splendidly idiotic.
I have a feeling it was written out of boredom and absolute mindlessness.
Furthermore, the idea that my poems are somehow lacking in feeling while yours aren't is total gobble. For one thing, you haven't used any of these "feeling phrases" in your poems: "unbearable ache", "sensationally drunk", "splendorous", "harem smell of disinterest", or "dying wind" - while I have.
i think you have too many dots... it interferes with the other dots, don't u think? lol
A really cool thing to do is read all the poems on the Worst List and say, "Man, these ARE bad poems!"
How about, Because Dovina's life doesn't follow any sort of logic! QED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No I'm not.
1) Since we're talking about an imaginary transformation, it's not like it fucking matters, but if I were told to reverse all the terms of "x > 1", I would answer "1 < x". The statement "I love you" is roughly equivalent.
2) One would be tempted to say the opposite of "a Negro man" is "a White man". Unfortunately, no one but the most floundering duff would say something like that. For one thing, it implies a polarity between Negro Man and White Man which doesn't really exist. The real opposite of "a Negro man" is "a non-Negro Man".
Look at it this way: The statement "I love you" can easily be rewritten as "The statement 'I love you' is true". What's the diametric opposite of that? ANSWER: "The statement 'I love you' is false", or "I don't love you."
3) What's so fucking hard to understand about the following?
con·trar·y ( P ) Pronunciation Key (kntrr)
adj.
Opposed, as in character or purpose
...
Opposite in direction or position: Our boat took a course contrary to theirs. See Synonyms at opposite.
...
Something that is opposite or contrary.
Either of two opposing or contrary things:
...
Ergo, the words "reciprocal", "contrary", "opposite" and "reverses" as used in your poem are expressing THE EXACT SAME THING!!!
4) Ibid.
5) Ibid.
6) "My dictionary, read in the feeling of the time, is..." means something totally different from "I realized my dictionary is...". In fact, that's more-or-less the revision suggestion I made earlier. I'm not arguing your meaning, I'm arguing that what you said in the poem is different from your meaning. You've essentially just agreed.
7) I agree that my last couple of poem are pretty feelingless. I've been trying for something different and not acheiving it. Before that, my posts kick your posts' asses. Anyway, you're just saying that because I don't "feel" your poems. BUT ISN'T THERE ANOTHER POSSIBILITY???!?! THAT YOUR POEMS AREN'T VERY GOOD AT RELATING FEELING?!!?! YES!!!!!!
8) I count only two "reverses" in this poem: from "I love you" to "you love me", and from "I love you" to "I don't love (or hate) you". Ergo, your going on about "its many reverses" is a load of guff. Ergo, you're something like saying "Earlier it was light, but now it's dark. I have a hangover. My experience of the world is an unending devolution." Bow'ls.
need more writers like you.
This is the best comment ever.
