why did I read this? well, I didn't: I stopped at the trite questions.

well, I must say I appreciate the 8. I wouldn't mind posting more, myself, but it's rare that I actually have anything that I think might have a chance at being interesting to say. :)

aha, but it's really yesterday's. no dates on the "most recent" really makes things a bit surreal.

but thank you muchly just the same. :) [gobbles the 7 happily]
on Small Town Tavern by NinjaPoet 26 Jan 2003, 12:00 PM
I wasn't sure where it was going, but I like where it ended. The middle was... eh. but good for the contrast, I suppose.
on Jesus was the Antichrist by TheDevil 26 Jan 2003, 11:56 AM
eh. not horribly amusing.

on Perfect by wordontheverge 26 Jan 2003, 8:27 AM
revist?

not a fan of this style.
on mornings, january by <~> 26 Jan 2003, 8:21 AM
I like how the third line sets scale when none was there before. :)
on The Ode that never was by Shardik 26 Jan 2003, 8:20 AM
nicely done, for what it is. :) the only bit o' weakness I felt be the toad, and 'm not quite sure what.

on the play by famenglory 26 Jan 2003, 7:21 AM
could use some serious work on delivery, I think. it's cute, but it doesn't flow, and that loses it for me. 4

hmm. okay.

this is basically meant to be a look at life, time, and memory. moments.

short moments, the little things from the typing of one letter to the next... are insignificant and tend to be forgotten.

moments also tend to be forgotten in long periods of time -- from birth to death, for instance, or... say, just twenty years. or that alzheimer's ditty someone posted.

just trying to put things in some sort of perspective (but pointedly, or lazily, leaving out the "middle" where things "matter").

I suppose I didn't do such a good job with the poem, though, if that's not there to be read.
on Sierra by crimzon 26 Jan 2003, 7:08 AM
some scan problems, but overall nice. "her nose ... beautiful", for instance, stumbles me. I'd also put a line break between "her" and "she", and possible "she" and "her" to hint to the reader of the switch. 7.
on early morning write by crimzon 26 Jan 2003, 7:06 AM
this stumbles for me near 'belated', or perhaps 'today' -- one syllable too many?

ever patient should by hyphenated, I think.

"stealing its blanket of twilight" doesn't quite scan right, either.

I like this a lot, though. 8.
