I happen to know where the new trend of poetry should go.

He hasn't voted on mine lately. It's his rule.

Are you still listening Amanda?

It's just about the spirit of your parents staying with you like guardian angels.

Tell her to sign on. Maybe she'll put us all in our place or at least a chosen few.

Leda is a rape fantasy as is this painting by Fuseli.

A theme still relevent today but unnoticed by modern culture do to it's old structure.

I would like to think my theme is more universal, as modern as it is old.

That's because you're writing Dovina poetry. It's what you expect Dovina to write. I bet Dovina has a sister that can write some bad-ass rhymes.

Har-har:)

Let me know if you spot any old ones you like. I'll tell him to post them.

Imago died young of self-embarrassment and he willed his stuff to me.

Do you know what Yeats is talking about in the sonnet?

Don't get me wrong. I'm an old school poetry guy myself.
I was basically asking Zodiac if he didn't use the old standard form because he thought it was boring. It does have it's troubles working into modern themes.

Good research. What name do you use over there?

Ps. Don't snitch.

Umm, because "good" sonnets are boring?

If he was incapable of writing a decent more formal version of a sonnet I could see where you'd have a complaint but he can do formal too.

It differs depending where you are. Some places even use a different color code. Way back when I worked at Sam's Club the codes were; Black:Dangerous weather or blackout, Red:Fire, Orange:Chemical spill, Blue:Medical emergency, Brown:Bomb threat, Code Adam was a missing child- and so on and so on. The procedures differ as well. It's funny, if you're in Sam's Club and you hear "Code Black" you're going to remember that show and run out of the building and probably into a tornado or something.

You certainly must admire the gall to build an episode around something as ridiculous as accidentally firing and injecting a bazooka shell into yourself. Now if Richard Gere had done it I would have bought the premise entirely.

What do you really think he's thinking?
I think he's thinking "bbrrbblbllgrrbbll-bloopploop".

Damn and I thought she meant something less profound.
