daniella replying on She Thinks Of Men Waiting by Christof 19 Oct 2002, 10:02 PM

surely she waits for you? hunched over her fags, yellow-fingered twisting anticipation if not for her disillusionment. you took her picture and left her waiting there. perfect move.

daniella replying on cornered invitation by daniella 19 Oct 2002, 9:58 PM

so there it is. squatting in the blitzgrieg of our over-sexed way of going about love. who would have thought we had a gentle side, after all that has been written down and done.

Blue Magpie replying on Dying for a Dowry by Blue Magpie 19 Oct 2002, 9:38 PM

Well I guess I am not in a position to make decisions for others, but even though Hinduism is not a moralistic religion, in the wat Islam, Christianity and Buddhism are, India is full of teachings that say you benefit by living a moral life, suttee is no more acceptable from the point of view their own societies teachers than from ours, to this extent we are more a manifestation of Karma, than an outsider interfering, how you see it depends on whether you are looking for truth and light, or just an excuse to hate. You will find what you look for.

Somehow I overlooked these. Semillas de tus agonias. 2 nights ago I met a boy who's mother died when he was sixteen. I said that must of been awful, and he replied ' I was 16, I hated her'.

Please, give me the 15 year old prespective of this issue. Tell me, in this limited context, should I have been more dramatic, or simply let the actions that occur speak for themselves? From the perspective of a POA it might be a different situation, you know. Please, enlighten me on what the experience of this is truly like. These all came from a dream. There are now 100 of them and this is only a sampling. But your input would be most helpful since it it plainly obvious that I haven't a clue as to what I am talking about.

Tintagiles on Unpleasant Morning by liljsmith87 19 Oct 2002, 7:20 PM

When I first saw this, for a second I thought it said 'Got up this morning,/Killed the cat...' It might be even funnier if you wrote a poem starting like that.

Tintagiles on HELP by LIL ZAY 19 Oct 2002, 7:18 PM

Department of Guardian Angels Cloud 6 Heaven Dear LIL ZAY: We're afraid that your angel met with an accident; he was run over by a cement truck while sneaking away from you to go urinate. Unfortunately, we're rather understaffed right now, so it will be some time before we can get around to helping you. In fact, we may not be able to. We did ask for volunteers, but though one showed up, your obnoxious use of capitals turned him off -- he's rather delicate ears and didn't want to be yelled at all day. You could always ask the Devil -- he's rather a decent fellow if you ask the right way. Regretfully, Saint Gabriel Archangel Spokesperson for God Department of Guardian Angels Cloud 6 Heaven.

Tintagiles on Remember-me (an ode to those dropped off at the clinic) by Bachus 19 Oct 2002, 7:10 PM

The P.S. is a letdown. You could have done better than that.

Tintagiles on Can't See by ThoughtfulSoul 19 Oct 2002, 6:54 PM

God's laughing at you. So am I.

confuzdlilgirl on Cancer Haikus by poetandknowit 19 Oct 2002, 6:53 PM

worded well, but i dont think it even comes close to the real thing. my mother had cancer just this past summer. it is worse then you write. maybe it would be better if you really knew what you were talking about!

Tintagiles on Bowstones, 21st June 200 by Nicholas Jones 19 Oct 2002, 6:23 PM

21st June 200? My GOD you're an antique. I didn't know they had buses back then...

god'swife replying on The generosity of others. by darby pyn 19 Oct 2002, 5:55 PM

You have to play with the words, the way you would play with sounds to create melodies. I'ts a very creative thing, my favorite part of writing. Re-arranging the furniture til I get the room the way I want it. I have my supicions about ADD. It seems an easy excuse for everything. I can't concetrate enough on the routine things, paying bills for example, I 'm always runing aroun at the last minute, or putting my keys int he same place twice. But if I'm doing something I'm meant to do, then I could do it for hours

darby pyn replying on The generosity of others. by darby pyn 19 Oct 2002, 4:31 PM

not long maybe an hour. mostly check for spelling errors. though you couldn't tell lately. it's like my guitar playing there is no structure it's not style it's more a spontaneous cumbustion and I would rather explode than be a conductor and suppress the moment. I have never been diagnosed but I must have add.
