Sticky new feathers. Do not frown at me old man. Time to touch the sun. As I freed from you. I became just what you were. Swallowed by the Sea.

how come so much of your stuff is such inane dogshit? this one almost makes up for (some of) it.

could you be more specific, and i'll try to see what your seeing. As far as inane dogshit goes.. insane dogshit i guess works harder for the people.a

Whoever gave this a 10 was in need of either a GED or just completely drunk. Have not we established that this fictional character cannot write.!!!!! It is not worthy of more than a zero. I would give it less, but I am limited see, by nentwhistle. We need minus #s.

henh? this is excellent, can't you separate your enmity from your aesthetics? I shall limerick you:

there's a guy here with scholarly socks
who takes umbrage when anyone mocks
his well crafted words
for smelling like turds
and thinks poetry's no place for cocks

Perhaps you are thinking of it's twin icarus up? or is it the present tense on seperating were as it used to be seperated or is it the new haiku above it, or all of the above?

no. you miss, here. 'my time is coming' is a decade (at least) too aged for I.

so I flew from you
and became what i hated:

Icarus flies like an irish kite. Glad to see non conformity, anorak poetry fucks me off occasionally infact conformist is icarus poetry, down with it.
