Piddling is just what this is.

One of your better attempts, among your many assorted personages here.

Delightful. I shall put you on my faves. Come and read my own writings to see some real class.

Alright: Fanatic (a poem about Stephen Robins) Walled in a city of visions, (London) he believed in beauty and order. (of dubious leanings) Bogged in a gray slough of facts, (about abominable acts) his tongue had learned to mock, his lips to sneer. Prepared with opium hopes, (well, you get the gist) he came greenly on life, to receive flowers of tenderness and gentleness he had little known.

Perhaps you could provide a brief introduction to your poems explaining what the poem is about? I know that, for many, this is accomplished by a poems title or indeed its content but I am always left feeling like I am either very thick or sheltered when I read your words. And I can't be thick as I got a 2:2 from Hull and I am not sheltered as I live in God's own city of London.

I'm a Scot and I'm a black, Bought to Scotland in a sack, I told them all I would'e go back, To my home in a Iraq, Even though Scotland is even more cack, It has something that Iraq does lack, A bountiful supply of excellent smack.

Yes, again! Another toast, another round. Ain't it fun? lol
Re: a comment on Fanatic by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	13-Jan-07/12:39 PM
Thanks for the raise.
Re: a comment on New Year by wilco	Dovina 75.82.85.162	13-Jan-07/12:37 PM
Suggest Bm, Em, F# major - somber sounds for a dismal theme. (I know, a major key can carry a somber theme, too.) Not bad for being drunk. I could say, “Not that this is bad, but I bet you could write a really great thing if you saved up and all that.” But I won’t. Not bad sober either.
Re: a comment on Fanatic by Dovina	wilco 24.92.74.122	13-Jan-07/12:34 PM
Sure. But then, I'm a genius.
Re: a comment on Fanatic by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	13-Jan-07/12:25 PM
I like the first better too. It’s just that, here and elsewhere, few people got it. Would you have gotten it without the revision?
Re: a comment on Brains for Barter by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	13-Jan-07/12:23 PM
You are right; I write too much. Only a fraction posts here. Is there a 12-step program for the likes of me? Is it what kept you away? Welcome back, with sympathy, Dovina

You speak the truth.

oh, and patty could use about 5 minutes to stop taking everything so seriously.
Re: a comment on New Year by wilco	wilco 24.92.74.122	13-Jan-07/11:26 AM
I don't think mine are divine in the least. Especially not this one.
Re: a comment on New Year by wilco	MacFrantic 71.237.26.195	13-Jan-07/11:24 AM
not on you as MUCH as them, but I'm just as bad, don't worry. We wouldn't write poetry if we didn't think ours was divine.
Re: a comment on New Year by wilco	wilco 24.92.74.122	13-Jan-07/10:27 AM
I'm not sure if this is a knock on me or on others, but either way, cheers! Thanks for the vote Mac.
