HUMPTY DUMPTY JUMPED OFF THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING
scrambled eggs for breakfast, shell fragments saved to be used as toothpicks.
I think he built his house with crucifixs and golden twine. (if you look carefully, one of the crucifixs has a mexican hobo freshly nailed to it, some sort of ritual or something, i forget.)
I expect you fashioned all of your own belongings from a collection of sticks and wheat.
open up.. or shrivel inwards, become dry and cracked: a mummy waiting to turn to dust.
my mother had the same kind of problem.. unable to express emotion.
The woman never looked happy (unless it was a dinner party, she was an A+ actor.. not many had a fucking clue)
blessed with eight.
Before I read your poem, I thought war was quite a good idea, but now I'm really against it.
I have heard of, and have seen such a picture.. not pleasant.
the repetition makes it seem like your starting to stammer, as if gripped by anxiety or nervouseness.. at first i thought it out of place, but then you mentioned that you lived in such a place, and it made sense..
was that the purpose? or was it simply done to give more force to emotion? (im all curiouse this morning)
overall, 8
i fucking lived in one of these places. ive seen it so fuck yourself
you sad bastard. go fuck yourself, you snob. 'where can i find such pictures' he asks. well ill tell you, amnesty international.
No. Where can I find such pictures?
Read between the lines...
I assure you I am not -=Dark_Angel=-, though I have collaborated with him on "A Haiku Haiku". -=Dark_Angel=- is about 4'10" with a peg-leg and a tic. I have none of these predicates and therefore cannot be him.
As for the charatcer traits of other poets, these are easily estimated from the knowledge that they like poetry.
well.. when did this vendetta start?

i see two reasonably intelligent poets "text fighting" via the internet.. how about you two meet up, i come by with a camcorder, and everyone will be able to see you two beat eachother into bloody slushies in full vivid animation and color!
it looks like one of those common bickering sessions i have with darkie.. cept.. somehow more idiotic.
-shrug-
[note: keep a look out for more fights, this shit is amusing.. sure fills the late hours of my life with entertainment.]
Excellent.
Without a doubt, ?-Dave_Mysterious-? is very amusing. My confusion arises from the fact that our Dave does not have the air of a newbie. He seems very sure of himself, and acts as though he knows the character traits of the existing users. Either he has been observing quietly from the sidelines for a long time, or he is an existing member with a new username.
Certain similarities with -=Dark_Angel=- but no clear indication that they are one and the same person. Besides which, they have very different obsessions.
Are you interested in a discussion on this? I'm fairly confident that I could convince you that this combination idea (while figuratively attractive) is not literally true.
bartering Emeralds with their
dirty under nail teething mouths.
straight through my brain..
Skewered through my circumcision

I don't hate all rhyming poetry.. here's proof. this poem.
His Cobalt blue sigh bid me not cry.
haha what is this?
a checklist for teen angst poems?
-durtkl-
suck them vigorously right out of their shells.
What's a week on the brink? What's tea time without chiarscurro Elvis peeping at you from over your plate.
