Oh so ive had a sex change now! great!

Of course you do, my lad. Of course you do.

I also have no cloggs im afraid.

The only dance you shall be dancing is the hideous dance of shame. Now put on your cloggs and begin.

FINE I will now go and cry in a corner as your vast intellect is proving too much for my young mind to cope with.

No, I like it. You just don't understand how to use it. Also, I'm not asking whether you agree. I'm telling you a fact.

You dont like the word 'defined' do ya?! But, in this case i agree. ok?

I haven't "defined" this as not a poem. I haven't done any defining at all. You only need the vaguest notion of "poem" to see that this isn't one. Here is a proof: 1. If something is prose, it isn't poetry. 2. The above is (obviously) prose. 3. So it isn't poetry.

I guess what im asking here is 'should pieces like this, even though they have been defined (by DA in this case) as not a 'poem' stil be submitted as one and just because something doesnt fit the convectional description of a poem does that mean it does not count as one?' I think this is a good piece of work - but im just interested at how can some of the stuff that is submitted on this site be called poetry? Im not referring to your work here because you obviously put a lot effort into urs to make them good but rather some other users who submit stuff that blatently isnt poetry and then call it just that! Sorry if i pissed u off. x

Do i detect a note of sarcasm there?

LISTEN TO THE SOOTHING MUSIC OF THE PAN PIPES

"I appologize for nothing,/but tomorrow"... Beautiful. Simply beautiful. You have simultaneously captured the joy in my heart and the anguish in my bosom, spearing my beauty on rods of fiery ice. 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody's questioning its status as a poeme. Everyone can see it isn't one. Once again, you have confused "poetry" with "prose that is sensitive and deep".

I will.
