Thanks. She did. And her little touch of necrofilia turned me on a bit. But I’m afraid that Gunther, should he agree, would have us in some funny position, like looking up surprised or something equally stupid. You know, his factory processes 3000 bodies a year – that’s 8,2 body a day.

Well, after careful consideration I’ve decided to keep it. I like the pause – instead, I’ll change ‘waiting’ into ‘wanting’. Thanks for the reply.

Quite clearly about being drunk in Miskin Street on a Saturday night.

Damn good, have you been to the exhibit?

Yes. Punctuate the final line?

Oh, alright. This pome* is bow'ls. I missed the second part of the Christmas VoD. Was it good? * not even a poeme. How's that for being slapped with harsh criticism?

It was a typo; the angel meant to say 'you foil', as in, you foil the deep space radio station's research by covering poemeranker with foil. Time Team 3000 will be tearing their hair out over this.

*well the road runs down by the butternut grove to old Bill Skinner's stream...*

This is pretty good actually. The images are well-crafted and effective. It needs a more careful second read though. I'll come back later. Metrically, I like it mostly, although some places need reworking ('crimson/Artistes' etc.). rockmage might have a point about there being too many words though, ones like 'while', 'now', 'then' can probably be edited out or replaced. 'spec' = 'speck'? 'resignly' = 'resignedly'? Love the final stanza :-)

It’s not possible to leave out 200 words, maybe one though – “well.” I had to look up Plastination, and will save the rest of you dummies the trouble: http://app1.chinadaily.com.cn/star/2001/0913/fe19-1.html An interesting process, and a good poem.

A pretty dismal prospect, this. And why be so sure the road is damned? Oh, they all are - ok. But what about Sunday? Really, this is quite unclear to me.
Re: a comment on Molecules of Paint by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	20-Jan-07/3:50 PM
I’m all ablush :) Thanks. Ah, the extremities of human opinion, how they inspire imaginings into the soul—from height of ecstasy to lowest disdain over a simple poem.
Re: a comment on Wreck of the Poor Anchor by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	20-Jan-07/3:08 PM
How could you possibly interpret my comment as irritation? It was obviously a rebuttal to rockmage’s profusion of nonsensical comments having nothing remotely to do with the poem or common sense or admission of his failure to find the 3. Ranger at least addressed the poem, something you might consider doing every now and again. As for guff strewn about these pages, I’ve strewn as much as almost anyone. To say that I “fail” on such trivial and unsupported grounds is like claiming to have found a monkey egg in your stew. Either of these might exist in places and stews, but they’re much smaller than you suppose.
Re: a comment on Wreck of the Poor Anchor by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	20-Jan-07/2:45 PM
To say that the story is “a little thin” is generous indeed. Perhaps if I’d named the ship Pooranchor, instead of Poor Anchor, the analogy and silliness would pop out. Maybe it did anyway. I love the "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" and would love to write a ballad form like it, but first I’d want something serious to write about, second more talent. And you’re right, it relates more to rats than people, unlike Zodiac’s Valentine 2 (about Captain Cook) a good poem on a serious subject. The prologue could be dumped. It’s supposed to show that what we now call artificial intelligence might, in 2075, be smart enough to decipher what’s really going on. Sorry it’s too anthropomorphic, with glad rats, amiable ship and all – just part of the silliness. Thanks for the helpful comment.

How can it possibly irritate you that people use poem comment sections as soap boxes? Watching people guff on other people's poemes is the whole point of poemeranker. Even if it wasn't, who cares about a pile of guff every now and again? You can ignore it, in which case it's as good as nothing, or you could be mildly diverted by it, in which case it's better than nothing. In conclusion: you fail.
Re: Molecules of Paint by Dovina	some deleted user 64.140.228.114	19-Jan-07/9:45 PM
Wow! And you said I was wordy. Only kidding Dovina--this is very good work. Strong metaphors and similes push it along nicely. I have to admit that I'm a sucker for poems about nature and this is one of the best I've seen on this site. It is also a poem about home. I've never been to Tennessee, but the picture you paint reminds me of my own home in New Hampshire. Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking about a reply to ecargo, but you took the words right out of my mouth.

Oh dear. Well, at least the twang seems to have subsided. Drapes in a crate; it sounds, well, NESTlike. Hope you enjoy your time in NYC.

How funny--what a teeny, tiny world. -=D_A==,PI so short a distance away--it makes me positively dizzy. As always, your logic is impeccable. ;)
