One of my favorite things about this poem is that it's a shorter, mathier version of my Greyhound poem. It's also the least over-cocksure thing you've written, maybe. Does this mean you can put math poems to rest now?

How do you pronounce "lea"?

That is, indeed, no excuse. If you now excuse yourself from your earlier excuse, you'll get a triple-word-score on "bum". Please, please, whatever you do, don't.
PsydewaysTears on hello eternity by justjay 3 Jan 2005, 9:28 PM
I like your use of the "—". The rest of it's a nice description of a dire emotion but to me it's only a very general emotion since I can't pinpoint which "words" are haunting you exactly or which events you're wishing to "forget" so badly. Though through and through this poem works. The word choice (especially "eternity") pulls it off. •°•Gregory James•°•

yes, I see that of course -- I'm just saying your title gives mathematicians a bad name. I would call it "Logic Poem."

I dunno... I personally prefer a good popping-off of my head while the night is still young. But then again I've always been somewhat of a night owl so I'm sort of predisposed to thinking that. •°•Gregory James•°•

Ah! There's nothing like getting your little head to pop one off first thing in the morning to let you know you're still alive.

How about, "He loved her so much he forgot to vote"?

Hey, I like this guy. He and I could sing a couple of good old country songs togther. "He Stopped Loving Her Today," "Didn't Know God Made Honky Tonk Angels" and the like. Was he drinking an American Brew? I prefer a dark beer myself with plenty of salty nuts.

Don't get it.

Could do without Verse 5, otherwise pretty good. Sounds like Satin talking.
Dovina on The Widow Bird by Bhaskaryya 3 Jan 2005, 4:21 PM
A little over the top for a bird, doncha think? A young oak is not colossal. An allegory maybe.

whats your thought on the editing of recent?
Dovina replying on My Wife by Dovina 3 Jan 2005, 4:03 PM
(i) A beat B and got as fish as a reward. (ii) A, 1; B, a fish. Have I oversimplified? Yes they are different. But the fish is present as reward in (i) or score in (ii).
Crakyamuni on Emotions Color Your Thoughts by cuddlytiger17 3 Jan 2005, 4:01 PM
I like it because of it's final line. Three dimensional logic is fuckin restrictive, and nothing will cause you more heart ache. Hope is fleeting, happiness fleeting, glory fleeting.. but we can have the time of our lives chasing them down. This is and "we are".

I love the moon. What about soap? word sculpture is nice.
richa replying on My Wife by Dovina 3 Jan 2005, 3:44 PM
No. A fish is a fish is a fish. Consider the artistic value of these two sentences: (i) Real Madrid beat Sur(real) Madrid and get a fish as a reward. (ii) Real Madrid 1 Sur(real) Madrid a fish. There is no comparison. The fish is in its rightful place. That is to say nowhere, or indeed present nowhere.
