How come I see you here.. been a while...
glad to see your poetry again
sounds good to me
Don't forget to flush.
If it lacks excellence then why'd u give it a ten? (Not saying that its excellent, bc i dont really agree with that, but apparently u liked it to an extent...)
Sumtimes tears just aren't enuff...Thanks for the advice tho...
re: "Both keep believing that this poem is about "religion" or a lost love, broken heart, etc. Can it be? Sure."
It's not stupid to believe this poem is about religion. Observe:
1) You were referred to this site by Decapolis
2) Decapolis is a website where "hip" young "New Age" Christians get together to dish about religious stuff in, at best, a barely concealed fashion.
3) Many Decapolis users have posted exactly identical poems to this on the same Decapolis discussion board where you learned about this page.
4) It isn't really necessary to have a 4. You should have gotten the point by now.
5) -=Dark_Angel=- wasn't saying this poem is about lost love; he was saying that your kind of Decapolis-referred hack new poemranker user always posts poems which are only about religion or lost love. If you haven't posted a lost love poem by now, you will soon.
What's more, "It can deal with many area's of life, but for two self-claimed geniuses to keep believing that it merely deals with two areas of life shows their incompetence for a wider range of thought" is crap for a dozen reasons. To wit,
1) We never said it merely deals with two areas of life; in fact, only I said it dealt with anything, which is religion.
2) I didn't even say this poem was only about religion.
3) I'll bet you a million bucks you can't say what this poem is about. PS-If you say it's about more than two things, you are a retard.
4) someone 'competent for a wider range of thought' wouldn't have made so many blunders already, such as the blunder of saying "incompetence for a wider range of thought."
5) Neither -=Dark_Angel=- nor I would ever be so stupid as to claim to be a genius. -=Dark_Angel=- has even taken the unprecedentedly honest step of posting his IQ on poemranker. Though I am the farthest thing from a "self-proclaimed genius," I am a society-proclaimed semi-expert in matters poetickal, having recently received a Master's in Poetry from an accredited Poetry School.
6) A poem about religion or God, or even solely about religion or God would not need to include the words "religion" or "God," you idiot. Cf. All the songs of Creed and Live.
7) Since I'm off the topic of the above-reprinted quote anyway, let me add a few things. None of the rest of your message after the "religion or god" part makes any sense. It's also presumptive to the max. To think any of the things you've suggested, I'd have to be a near-perfect retard.
8) If you've read Frankenstein, I'm my own left buttock.
9) I don't think you know what pretentious means. Allow me to propose this definition: Anything which impugns your, SomeKindofPoet's, poetickal superpowers.
10) Here's "a good, useful opinion" on your poetry:
