J.B. Manning on To a bum, by RealmOfSong 4 Sep 2003, 1:26 PM
I like it a lot, but I'm slightly confused by the title vs. the context. It seems more like you're talking to a familiar acquaintance of some sort, rather than a stranger on the street. Or maybe you're calling that acquaintance a loser of life? Hmm, that could be what I originally missed.

Noted and bless you (please see reply to richa
Mr Pig replying on The Last Day Of Christ by Mr Pig 4 Sep 2003, 11:29 AM
Thank You richa. The 'yeast baptized in wine' refers to the body of Christ (literally) being saturated by his blood (wine) and I guess is again an irony. The 'intoxicated eucharist' could be deemed as impeding the flow but one felt it important to mention it as the eucharist was instituted in the last supper in which bread and wine were consecrated and consumed in remembrance of Jesus's death. This fascinates me as Christ was consumed by Judas at the last supper, and during his bloodied walk to his crucixion, so Judas consecrated Christ at the supper, devouring his body and blood which was parasitic and treacherous yet his deceit was immaculately carried out, i mean talk about taking the piss. This is a 1st draft and there are some points bith you and Z have raised that I have to look in to . Thanks to you Richa/Z

cool.
<~> on none by tadpole 4 Sep 2003, 9:09 AM
this is only an intro. and richa is right--it is devoid of any specifics, any individuality.
<~> on The Last Day Of Christ by Mr Pig 4 Sep 2003, 9:03 AM
all right pig. first, it's a good idea. i agree that you don't need baptized--that was john's gig anyway. no apos. in pilums, please, and the spelling you were looking for is "chalice" not: chal·lis - n. A soft, lightweight, usually printed fabric made of wool, cotton, or rayon. i think you also meant 'covering' not coveting. christ was never a coveter. i don't think that the 'consumed by judas' line is working. the way you have the hammer blows is awkward. hammers strike blows, but only the wind and your favorite girlfriend actually 'blow'. also, there were be no dew, at noon, the traditional hour of crucifixion. carpentr dying on wood--very nice. uttering his final words to the four winds--very pagan notion. did you mean it to be so? heaven and earth would be more of a christian reference. judas belches from consumption? TB? resurrection is generally associated with dawn, not sunset, and i think you will need to work this line a little harder to convince me that you meant the irony. whew. all in all, lots of good ideas that don't dive into cliche. just needs a tune up. no vote until then, pig.

this has a nice start, but ye gods! all the extra words! can glean away some of the little words, to make it cut with a sharper edge? and, the ending feels like a bit of a cop-out after that details you gave at first. this has a lot of potential, especially since you have grasped the idea that specific details make a poem real.
