I love that people are taking themselves so seriously. I haven't been commenting at all because I've just been using this site as an archive, but damn! Is there something going around running up peoples' asses or what? I absolutely love the sarcasm and the synthetic wit. I flaunt my vocabulary as much as the next person, but hey! Nobody talks like this. Good luck on all future ventures you guys, and I hope you'll find someone to give you that hug you so desperately need. P.S. Best poem I've ever read. *5*

wasn't this poem the inspiration for 15 seconds of a 1970s sitcom?

Brilliant. The Huntsman trilogy is now the most whimsical jape of this or any other season!

MUCH better than the one I just read of yours.

Your problem D, is that you write too much. I've come to believe that a poem every 2 days is too much. The people that are decent writers on here need to learn to edit themselves and not post everything we write becasue it ends up getting old and jumbled and we tend to repeat ourselves....Not that this is bad, but I bet you could write a really great thing if you saved up and all that.

I think this could be much better shortened a bit...take some unnecessary words out...for example: We said sayonara to Hiroshima And hello to the green diamond rivers of Vietnam And we walked upright Where the ones before us crawled on bellies Western snakes in the grass We were delighted by rain Finding it absolutely perfect (Once the dried blood was ignored) We sat in cafe's where dancing girls came Touching guns smilingly Their husbands silent at home Or dead, silent in the land of green ...and punctuate...damn that's irritating. Gimme a semicolon or something. This could be good with a little more tweaking. Less is more. Play with wordings and take out things you don't need...

I've seen some good stuff you've written. THis is not one of 'em. You know how to write..you're better than this.
Re: Fanatic by Dovina	wilco 24.92.74.122	12-Jan-07/7:26 PM
I like the first one better. It would get an 8.

Incidentally, this is my 91st submission with three years as a Poemeranker user nearly here, Feb. 18. I haven't been around much lately because I've been too busy to write, much less read. Seems the Ranker isn't doing too well? A pity. This place has given me a lot...I might even send Nentwined some money...but probably not.

Came by, saw that Rockmage is back and just had to log in and post. Just something I wrote all drunk New Years Eve...just a little song. B F# E chord progression for anyone who cares.

Maybe you really don't understand my poems. Maybe I overestimated you, and should show more sympathy. What may I do to explain?
Re: a comment on Fanatic by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	12-Jan-07/2:05 PM
If this is about you, it was unintentional. We had a good dialog going at: http://poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=147563 and continued at: http://poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=147757 Then you dropped off the radar. I’ve been doing alright, thank you for asking, but then I have an anchor. How’s it going with you?

nice to know you're still writing about me ;) in all seriousness, very nice...how have you been?
Re: Bitter by Ranger	drnick 24.176.22.254	12-Jan-07/12:51 PM
dude, how have you been? do you still exist?!
Re: a comment on Self Portrait by Dovina	Dovina 75.82.85.162	12-Jan-07/12:10 PM
This poem is like yours, in that S2 tries to show the painting. S1&3 are different in trying to show the artistic process. Yes, the Potter is God, modeling Himself with clay, making humans in His likeness. In so doing He instills an artistic bent. Thanks for the observations.

That is, of course, genius. I should imagine you feel pretty silly buying a two button suit now. I have just torn the top button off my suit. It doesn't look perfectly balanced but hangs rather limply over the edge of my wheeled chair. Are you the -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. with personality? and the other one is the I.T. geek. I can only assume you work in a gentleman's profession such as hedge funds or private equity.
Re: a comment on The dancers by richa	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 217.36.49.166	12-Jan-07/8:26 AM
I don't work in IT. We quizzed Hunstman about their penchant for the single button: apparently, you can place a single button at exactly the right place, so when you button up the jacket it is perfectly balanced. With two buttons, you inevitably end up with the top one slightly too high.
Re: a comment on The dancers by richa	Stephen Robins 213.146.148.199	12-Jan-07/8:20 AM
I hope you kicked his face off. I thought chinos and a shirt with a pocket was order of the day in IT? Huntsman do a nice one button suit and have an excellent range of house tweeds.
Re: a comment on The dancers by richa	-=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 217.36.49.166	12-Jan-07/8:12 AM
Of course it was from the Row. Just got back from there, as it happens. Took an absurdly long lunch break (my colleague was having a fitting done at Hunstman), but was appalled when the waiter informed me: "Chef is not happy with the foie gras today. Would Sir like to select another item from the menu?"
