Ja, aber ich habe gar nichts erklärt, sondern habe ich eine Erklärung gesucht! Jedenfalls, morgen werde ich einem Kollegen fragen, ob was der tomcheese gesagt hat, macht Sinn oder.

Good call on the TO in the second stanza. I might risk losing my two - that's right, two! - 10s to change it. Otherwise all later readers will just have to consider it there. The immortal catechesis is a little odd, not a metaphor for poemranker per se, but a metaphor for growing up Catholic (and a serious one) with the expectation that being burned at a stake is better than, say, sitting on the hood of a car at night drinking Coronas.

oh come on, you can't demote her to the same league as CLS & snowflake. fevriere, I share your fascination with binding words and ideas together that don't ordinarily appear in company, like amusing oneself trying to push magnets together with the same pole facing, but by themselves these little word games rarely do anything for anyone except the writer. Try doing it just once in an otherwise concrete pome. Like building a framework to hold the magnets in exactly the unnatural but interesting apposition you wish to capture. (when you're successful at this, please come back and teach me how to do it too)

Yeah. guess I'll stick with only semi-topical comments.

So your response to mark inflation is just to give higher marks? That'll definitely help!!1

It's 'ground' not 'grown'.

OH-, Brunnen kannte ich nicht diesen Ausdruck. Zur Vorliebe für mich Haha. Danke für das Erklären mir

War dass ein Ausdruck, was tomcheese hat gesagt? Mein Deutsch ist zu schleckt es zu verstehen. Es hat mir kein Sinn gemacht, eben wann ich habe google und leo benutzt.
