But you forgot the homework they must do. They have a need for math and reading too. Let's not forget the mandatory walk you need to take them on, you need to lock them up at night or else they might escape and take them on more walks to keep in shape! They've needs! All verse has needs we can't forget. They've needs the same as a domestic pet. If you have read this far (this part is sweet) I hope you noticed the iambic beat. If you cant see the rhymes yet then, (you fool!) I've earned a blowjob on my nine inch tool!

Poemes don't have needs you fool; they have hobbies/interests.

I know full well what a sestina is. It is the form with six repeating words that end lines in a pre-set pattern, familiar to any poet who has been in a workshop. However, the form is straining and working against the poem here. Many times the words, especially the word "nurse," are crying to be replaced with a more apt word. The only thing preventing that is that you have shoehorned the entire poem into a form ill suited to the poem's needs.

do you even know what a sestina is? there's lots of repitition...

The comment was a general one on why insipid criticism between parties complimenting themselves is an anathema to many. It is a subtle distinction but I said Dan knows little therefore can write loads of poems. I did not say those who write loads of poems know little. A pinon planter was a good poem. Since then you have had a few sketchy ones which you have been reinforced for by Dan. Dan is a guy who believes those seen as good poets are the same as him but with a thesaurus. Dan is not your friend. We are. As for misinterpreting Hollywood shoe-shiner. His poem was written in about two minutes and the reason it could be is because the only criteria it sought to satisfy was to make the message 'earnest poets use thesauri and it don't matter I'm uneducated' rhyme.

Also you're a fascist since you write poetry that rhymes

This is a strange comment, because of where you posted it. Dan has his mailboxes, why don’t you use them? You probably refer his Hollywood Shoeshine Boy, and your interpretation is too simplistic. Knowing your usual subtlety, I look for other meanings. Dan has posted far fewer poems in the last few months than I have, so your comment, “writes loads of poems,” must refer to me. You could have said so. I accept that I have not learned much and therefore often find it easy to finish a poem and move on to the next one. I think I have improved through the process. Thank you, and please feel as free as zodiac to speak directly. No, I take that back.

I’m glad you understand it. My greatest fear was that with so many pronouns, the meaning would cloud.
