How can she walk away if she's on skates?

Did you mean "strick?"
on The Rockets’ Song by Dovina 6 Dec 2004, 9:03 AM
Are rockets are a phallic symbol in the title?
...for war is life to us,
-not death—(Is this death necessary?}.
Yep,war is romantic until it touches you with stray bit o' metal. -9- Ask Michael Moore for the extra point to make it a ten.

This sounds like an accurately kept transcript of the night. The last stanza could be the first and nothing would be lost.

You win! You have more interest in idle chitchat than any other human being on this planet (if you are human and not just computer generated). I think I'll go to work and talk to some real people now.
on Jesus by Dovina 12 Nov 2004, 8:05 AM
This poem is about Bush's Jesus not Tony Blair's or yours. Right?

I've traded my thesaurus for fifty pounds of fortune cookies. Today's fortune about your poem says (pardon me as I read with my mouth full), "Always have old memories and young hopes." BTW- your lucky lotto numbers are 07, 09, 16, 31, 41 and 46. Here, I'll open one for myself. It says, "Nature always sides with the hidden flaw." This is better than the magic 8 ball! Doncha think?

Good but could be great if it weren't so hopeful.

I heard someone say this once tonight already but I think it bears repeating. "It seems a tad short. Any chance you might stretch it a bit?"
on Grandma by Dovina 4 Nov 2004, 8:09 PM
Yeah, as one's senses dull with age, it seems that the only thing one still feels strongly as it did in youth is pain. Pain changes from "growing pains" to "growing older pains."

I like the use many pronouns that make the meaning of the poem seem ambiguous at first. It took me a couple of reads to "get it." Cool.

What are the chances tha yours and Horus8's houses both burned down and are posted as poems on the same day? Wonder...
on A Man Who Cares by Dovina 26 Oct 2004, 7:34 AM
Great storytelling. Has the chain been fixed yet?
on For Ike by INTRANSIT 25 Oct 2004, 10:27 AM
I liked Ike but not as much as I like your poem.
on Bra in a Bar by Dovina 24 Oct 2004, 8:30 AM
I've never worn a bra. It sounds wonderful. Both the bar and the bra seem to be located in a good neighborhood.-Upscale-

It's a riddle. You're a librarian.
on A Lovely Cog by Dovina 20 Oct 2004, 8:42 AM
It's a riddle. Are you a librarian?

You have an impressive resume and vocabulary, Johnny. I suppose that I do appear self-righteous to hypocrites. Anyway, I'm bored by all this blah, blah, blah. Write an article about another lame poet's hair follicles that will be suitable for publication in some "highly respected lit mag." I'll just continue to post here with my opinion of your unimportance and lack of integrity intact.

Of course, all that you say is obvious. How could I have missed all the clues? Maybe it's because you are all hiding behind the computer screen. I guess I should be comforted that you aren't teaching in the states and screwing up another generation of young, impressionable minds. I hope you're teaching over there. Maybe you can win the Islam/Western Pragmatism war from the inside by destroying the Middle Eastern children’s minds instead. Thanks for the grammar lesson, Johnny.

They all say that.
