I'll have to look up the connection between michael moore and bands - brb
Yeah. Well.
I know a certain Angel who's done the same
you know I love this one, but I do agree with dancin n da moonlight's comment....doesn't need to go on quite as long
Shut the fuck up.
PS-I'm a butchier feminist than all of you together. You can try some 'look at the guys ganging up on my poem' shit till you're blue and puffing, but then I'll probably just pull out my engorged member and bludgeon you comatose with it.
If either of you have ever played baseball, sat in a dugout during a baseball game, watched a baseball game on TV, or by any other means other than fiction seen a baseball player adjust himself, then I am currently eating my best hat.
Is Herald the Count's name or a verb?
This is a pathology of vote-grubbing asskiss.
This would have been better if it was "American Smell".
What is the American Smell? Bacon and shag carpet.
PS-I was expecting to read a poem about being rendered genderless, which I've always imagined being able to do on some impermanent basis. Unless by "eat the ham" you mean something below my capacity for contemplation, this is not even close.
I'm displeased to find you're back to your old self-righteousness. You were better when you didn't have all the answers. Kind of lovable, even, like a hamster.
Can you write a rhyme without it being a total nonsequitor? I bet not. The best part was the ham bit.
Do you know what part of a chick's anatomy the birth canal is? Do you know what grows there?
Yeast, and about nothing else.
I know what a banshee is. The confusion was "haunting in the omen of" one. Presumably, you mean in the banshee's song, which is an omen of death, rather than an omen predicting a banshee itself, which would be bizarre, redundant, and require a whole substructure of meta-banshees to appear before the banshees proper.
By "haunts", I imagine you mean simply "exists in a kind of scary way" which is how you used it in your comment above, so you can use "in" after (ie, "haunts in the wind") rather than the more common and understandable "haunts the wind" or "haunts the omens of banshees").
Anyway I essentially got to the person "you" haunting in the haunting song of a haunt before I got totally flummoxed. It could have been so much easier.
Did you think "In Country" was a very good book?
must always be sensual and shouldn't be taken otherwise...
You've managed to create one of those sayings like twain or wilde and done so in the limits of a haiku so brrrravo its def one of the best on here.
Damn you're right and when I posted this I wanted the grammar cops to beat me senseless till I resembled jackie stallone. To explain my use of banshee its a female spirit which haunts in the wind so it does make sense but the meter and all the other points you mentioned are spot on.
I've done better and a lot worse but I'll let this John Merrick piece breathe itself into its own death.
drop me a line if you change it, then I'll pour over it again.
a golden oldie, thanks!
