I might be so bold as to disagree with jroday on that. Truth is consensus of the 'us' referred to by zodiac.

I see you deleted one of yours. Maybe you'd like this whole record expunged.

I knew you were talking about the narator's voice in your poems. I just wanted to break this thing off because it's going nowhere.

And with those indisputably accurate words the matter was finally settled before a capacity crowd at Poemranker Stadium.

I believe there are ace poets out there who would disagree with you on these points. I think serious poets would tell you to learn from people like jroday. Robert frost, for example, in Mending Wall claims to have learned important truths about property boundaries from his neighbor in Vermont who was like jroday. Frost did not just use the man as a character in his poem, he learned from him.

That should begin with a capital and end in a question mark.

I don't know if you mean to mock, but the magic of poetry is to bring emotions to light, so that similar emotions in a reader become better understood and often more palitable.

"deconstruct" is hardly accurate.

You repeat what I say after saying I'm wrong.

Better than your last, but punctuation would help, not hinder the flow, as some think.

I step into my skirt one leg at a time, same as you. Or is that your other alias.

You have tried to relate an emotion you have felt to your readers using what you think are logical bridges and similis, but they fail logically. Most readers of poetry appreciate both emotion and logic.

For a disinterested, but not uninterested, reader like me, it is not needed.

There's no reason for a senisble man to become angry enough to swear over a disagreement such as this.

And jroday is not doing that. He posits unsubstanciated emotional phrases, but not the same thing too often.

That's illogical, but to say it's an example of incorrect logic is to admit logic can be incorrect. You have written an example of gobeldygoop or nonsense.
