Frankly, I think you've gone downhill. Your early poems showed a unique, though debatably inadequate style. Then, after much ridicule, you turned another way - not as good, in my opinion, as what you can make of your original stuff. that original style is workable, I think, but needs refinement, which is the hard part. Receiving inspiration is easy; developing craft is not.

Then vote, or stop wasting people's time. A.D.D. is a bitch I know, but really. You might as well not even waste time reading poetry if you're not going to offer an intellectual output of some sort afterwards, or vote.

Yes. "A weapon of war no longer needed" coupled with the title. Why a morningstar you might ask? Because it is an extention of reach, and force. Why wouldn't a sword be just as effective? Swords are cliche, and/or he didn't view himself as a piercing weapon. A morningstar is consider a blunt weapon. Hard hitting and only deadly in the right hands. <3 Jason

It's a bit naked. Creation of or from sensation?

P = Pimple writing simpleton C = one who Complains about how they get tagged as a result of the pimples they write. (C implies P) is indeed illogical, even if P implies C. My most recent whine was not intended to follow logically from your comment, and may be like flogging of a dead horse, but don't you think it has merit? I mean, someone who tags (uses rote clues to classify) is no better and probably worse than someone who whines. Admitedly, the two things may be unrelated.

Right. Is the poet likening himself to a mace?

Since I felt more moved to applaud the comment than the poem. No offense intended. I have a short attention span.

I only mentioned everyone makes assumptions INCLUDING me. I have no reason to argue back. I may come across hypocritical but thats because I am messing around at work (not an excuse) and I promise you this is not how I come across in conversation.

In the interest of full disclosure, I don't actually think there is a correlation between being simpleminded and whining. I've encountered stupid stoics & intelligent stoics, stupid whiners, and intelligent whiners. I tend to get labeled a diva myself, ie, someone who sometimes whines aggressively but who's whining is generally tolerated because of a high level of efficacy.
Re: a comment on Middle-Aged White Woman by Dovina	Goad 80.132.250.203	24-Apr-05/6:17 PM
"is a person who tags any less of a pimple-writing simpleton than than a person who complains about being tagged?" I don't know, are they? The question has no relevance for me. I don't (and didn't in my comment) equate "complains about being tagged" with "pimple writing simpleton" One can infer from my comment that I may be of the opinion that pimple writing simpleton's (P) have a tendency to complain about how they get tagged as a result of the pimples they wrote (C) ie; one can infer I probably believe the premise "P (somewhat) implies C" Given that premise, the conclusion "C implies P" is a logical fallacy I personally would not make; since what you posit is built on your incorrect assumption of faulty logic on my part, I have no response for it. I will point out that I didn't actually "tag" you as whining until the point where you started meta-whining. As far as your meta-meta-whine, it seems actually less like whining to me than rote flogging of a dead horse, the "I know you are but what am I" singsong into which all arguments eventually devolve when the combatants have nothing meaningful left to say. See? I just did it myself.

Also called a morgenstern (German for morning star) and a ball and chain mace. The morningstar was virtually identical to the ball and chain mace, the only difference being that a morningstar always had a spiked ball for striking. Like the ball and chain, the morningstar consisted of a metal ball attached by a chain to a wood or metal handle. By extending the weapon’s center of gravity far from the hand, the wielder created a great deal of momentum in a swing. The increased force of impact upon the target was devastatingly effective against armored and unarmored opponents alike.

Since I'm already tagged as a whiner, what the hell, here's another whine. What you say about tagging works both ways. Is a person who tags any less of a pimple-writing simpleton than than a person who complains about being tagged? I think such a person is more simple than a whiner because he/she has not the strength to look past surface implications while the whiner at least tries to expose charges leveled by the unthinking whose heads are filled with fixed notions.

Since when did it become custom, merely to reply to comments, as opposed to voting yourself?
