When do we get to hear this piece of yours. Would love to. I like the style in most of your lyrics.
Anybody who is anybody knows that you were sired by Mr and Mrs Beavers from Narnia ( http://www.pop-arena.com/articles/narnia /narnia-220.jpg) and consequently you were born with one of life's great advnataged the ability to build from junk.
You can, and may have, walked his paths: http://travel.sulekha.com/hampshire/site s.aspx
Heâs one of the few poets who never fool around, never stick in a silly piece out of boredom, and almost always say at least two worthwhile truths in every line. His writing is dark, or dour as you say, if you wish to see it darkly, or not see the light. I hope only to approach his weight and buoyancy, two forces acting oppositely, where a small nudge makes all the difference.
Good reflection.
A good moving story. Tense conflict - might be best to make it all present tense, but you could just eliminate the few out-of-past-tense verbs. Also, quote marks are inconsistent - I'd use them on all quotes. And spacing - yes, a space after every comma. I like it though.
I tripped over the second 'but still' in the fourth stanza. Didn't mind. I liked the read.
I love the use of brackets to signify a winking aside to the rest of us! This is even better when one considers the juxtaposition of one exclamation mark with another!! emphasising the undoubted comic nature of this limerick. In summary, a triumph of good natured, pragmatic humour over the death of a pet which would have indubitably served as a cathartic meditation for the author.
I believe it is stretching poetic licence to suggest that flowers could toss a girl. A girl could toss with flowers, a girl could be tossed with flowers, but importantly a flower could not toss a girl. The next two lines read like something out of a wanna-be bridget jones romcom fiction book that's free with this months peoples friend. "But again never comes" is the most bow'ls thing I have ever, ever read.
This is the most terribly obvious nonsense I have read on this site.
I think this is terribly clever, and what's more it rhymes!!!!
A really good point, why do people fight over ethnicity. Is it because blacks no longer know their place or because we have become soft?
brave and contradictory.
wow the spacing on this is really really big.
Dizzyingly contentious, whilst evoking the creaking motion of redundant bow'ls suddenly roused to life.
Is this a joke?
Excellent.
Aside from a least one spelling error, (you might try using spell-check. I use to my great advantage [It almost makes me appear educated.]; some people really get their butts out of whack when a letter is left off or placed in the wrong spot.) , this is really a fine piece. Thanks.
Excellent line breaks!!!!11 The last line is really great!!!!111
A good write.
Am I the only one to understand what you mean with all these flowers... dried or ascii. I'm happy to see this post and it gives me a nostalgic feel although the flowers are yours. Too bad that the string of ascii characters didn't come an angel's way, at least not yet.
