Er, kind of good, but you're beginning to freak me out now...

And you, sir, are a guttersnipe of the first order! How dare you mock one such as myself over such a piddling, trivial affair? Have at you!!!!!!!!
replying on Beer by Yardbird 29 Oct 2002, 12:45 PM
Ok, fair comment, and seeing as I've run out of decent excuses, my only answer is that I simply couldn't be bothered (shame on me, I know) - it is only beer, after all!!!!!

Tepid - good word, considering the subject of the poem (I hate beer with a passion, hence the poor quality of the poem - I'm not going to grace such a vile liquid with good verse now, am I?)!

Never mind - ta muchly, anyway! Oh, and DA can shut his/her mouth - either say something worth saying, or keep schtum, pal!

As my prize, then, can you this time tell me (or anyone else kind or naive enough) tell me what 'LOL' means. I'm at a loose end when it comes to dealing with text-talk or whatever it's called!

Clever layout and succinctly put. I agree with zzinnia66, this is one of your best. Good stuff! :)

What are you, some kind of serial pervert?

Why do you think they have trunks? No, wait, sorry, I've gone too far...

Nicely done!

Cheers to the both of you, and thanks for overlooking the typo in line 7 - the last word, 'phase' should actually read as 'phrase'. Just thought I'd clear that one up now.

Nice one, tails - SAFE, MATE!!!!

Another deserving case for Care In The Community, it seems. Still, pretty bloody funny!

I've just read them, and I'm on the fence as regards my view. I see the point you and others have that people should accept the fact that if they're going to put up their work for ranking, they should accept all reviews, good or bad. However, I also see some sense in what Maria and co. are saying, and I feel that it's pointless just to slate something without giving some constructive criticism. In other words, saying something is crap is fine, just say why, and give a few pointers on how to do better next time. Regardless of ability, we're all here to improve, and it would be much better if we were supportive of fellow poets, and helped them to progress, rather than slamming them for the sake of it (although I must admit these skirmishes make for excellent reading!). Ok, rant over!

There's nothing wrong with being pedantic - it's just attention to detail. Oh, and could somebody explain the feud between Blade, Tintagiles and Maria - every poem one of them has written seems to be followed up by a slanging match from the other two. What's all that about?!?!
replying on Daywalker by Blade 24 Oct 2002, 5:04 AM
I just spoke to Hep Cat - he says he doesn't want to get involved with any of this - fight it out amongst yourselves, 'cos he just wants to work on his poems...sob, sob!

Dude, what have you been smoking?
Pretty good, though, and the scantion isn't too bad either!
