I'm sorry. I was actually just typing the exact phrase that was on the television in the other room as I was reading your poem.

there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in Meatpie.

I never said that you suck. simply that your crappy poem sucked. It is still bad whether or not you slay me with your many words. I do empathize with you. I understand your lonely bitterness; your attempt at being bigger than yourself through a false sense of intellectual superiority. It's funny, but your responses are the ones that have the tinge of self-possessed mania. Your assumption that I'm a child, and your three hundred word response to a child makes me think you are a pederast. Play on, puppy.

my carefully placed punctuation is precisely where I intended it to be. Nah, I just wrote it out in this form and didn't change a thing. haha!

I thought it was more about cutting (and staying alive) then about suicide. which is why the word 'cycle' is used. But heck, I dunno any cutters that wear jumpsuits.

1st off.. you mispelled megAlomania.
2nd - megalomia is A psychopathological condition characterized by delusional fantasies of wealth, power, or omnipotence.

So... all that to say...huh? you go from calling me egotistical to megalomaniacal? I think you just used a big word for which you didn't know the definition to try to slam me some more. Ah well. I tried not to say it, but your poem does suck. so get over it. grow your own self.

I mean no offense when I tell you that the first sentence to come into my mind when I read this was, "What in The Hell?"

I'm gonna go to bed and read this again in the morning. See what shakes off the tree then.

if I thought your poetry was worth worshipping and forming tent meetings about.. then we could call what i have done sacreligious.

as for egotistical.. why of course.. aren't we all. We post on poemranker do we not?

on Mountain Gorillas by Blue Magpie 22 Jun 2005, 12:42 AM

you think the gorillas think about our inner struggle as higher primates? you think the gorillas see their imminent extinction and wonder about the cause of it?

I disagree with your heart, but I don't dislike your sonnet.

on Sandia Plain by Dovina 22 Jun 2005, 12:37 AM

are you talking about the Sandia near the Rio Grande?

What you have written makes me wonder about the author and not about the poem itself. Does that make it art? I don't know. I'm trying to figure out your motivation without knowing you. This is a lot of NOT thinking about the above words.

on After A Love is Lost by pinay_miss_azn 22 Jun 2005, 12:29 AM

a scar can not by definition be invisible. Or it isn't a scar. it's unmarred flesh. What makes a scar a scar is the Marring.

all that to wonder out loud; is English your first language?

on Arson by Roisin 21 Jun 2005, 2:09 PM

I liked the first two lines of the 1st and 2nd stanza, and the first line in the 3rd stanza.

"Bridge soaked in alcohol
I lit the match
I saw your face
as the blaze began
I watched in silence as timber blackened."

I give my variation on your poem a -6-

and maybe the Texas sun can call you west, and the moon from Houston can call you home.

someone else do your laundry? the heaps are separated by color, type of cloth etc... arranged is the right word.

glad you laughed.

on Flicking by INTRANSIT 20 Jun 2005, 7:28 PM

I'm just confused. It may not be your fault that I am ignorant.

chicane= a movable barrier used in motor racing ?

"thrusting against movable barriers" ?

on Treblinka Re-opened by Caducus 20 Jun 2005, 7:20 PM

why blame God?

on Slam. by darby pyn 20 Jun 2005, 2:51 PM

okay.. I really meant I liked the first 3 stanzas.. color me ignorant.

on Slam. by darby pyn 20 Jun 2005, 2:49 PM

first two stanzas I liked. thought of sex.. then BINGO..it was you saving her from a mosh pit fall down.. nice surprise.

I'd drop the last two commentary stanzas...
