Oops...I just realised how that could have been interpreted. I meant that the Quentin whatshisface chap is the moron, not ALChemy. I have been abandoning the Internet in general recently. My soul is being eaten by work and the World Cup (not necessarily in that order) at the moment. And when I do get online I'm either too tired to read poems properly, or I can't stay long enough to read them as they deserve to be read. I will be back properly though, as soon as is possible - particularly if you keep writing poems like this!

Al.... you heard that? And RAnger..... how are you. You don't seem to be having much time around lately. Hope to see you back in top form soon. As for the God-existence topic.... I don't think anyone ever gets tired of it. So many theories about existence and non-existence that people are really forgetting what's important.....love and life.

well the flower symbolizes the ideals of the movement, that those with the ability to speak out against opression had a responsiblity to. the petals symbolize the martyrs. they all gave their lives for all of those without a voice. though the men of faith were gone, God still loved the oppressed and the November murders were the beginning of the end of the war.

The fact that he chose to use the notion of evil as an argument against God just shows him to be an utter moron; having previously resorted to Hawking's theory in order to give a vague conclusion that God doesn't exist just reinforces that. Whatever God does is morally good. Morality stems from God, ergo whatever He does is perfectly justified. There isn't a system of morality external to God. I don't have time for a proper rant, sadly. Maybe later.

And it has thus gone from being a good poem to being a very good poem. I think maybe you'd get the reading you want if you linked an online resource with the story behind this, then we'd make the connection. Top stuff though.

Not vulgar enough for me.
Re: A naughty strumpet by John Rambo	Edna Sweetlove 85.210.24.246	19-Jun-06/11:16 AM
This is a lovely little poem and may God bless you for it. On the other hand she may well screw you with a 12 inch nail instead.

Dear Imp: my "American colonies" poem is a vitriolic sister to this one and will be posted in a couple of days or so. Keep your eyeballs skinned. Thanks for your comment.

There you go again.

Looks like you're a loser at love that you're poems are written to beckon someone in particular. It doesn't seem that you've got her. (No offence meant).
Re: A Love Potion by forsaken	amanda_dcosta 202.164.137.248	18-Jun-06/11:18 PM
A nice title. And a good read. But there seems to be no consistencey in time and metre and its as if some lines are like chewing gum. They've been pulled and stretched.

This is a good. .................And to see that none have voted here yet?
Re: The Runt by Caducus	amanda_dcosta 202.164.137.248	18-Jun-06/11:11 PM
Cool. Whether real or not, the choice of topic is good. It's like you've put a story to it. Great job.
Re: The Last of The Winds by emilyowey	amanda_dcosta 202.164.137.248	18-Jun-06/11:07 PM
Its a nice idea but ends in being an okay-okay poem.
Re: Field Of Surnames by Caducus	amanda_dcosta 202.164.137.248	18-Jun-06/11:04 PM
Somehow I get the feeling of being in a cemetary.
Re: End by MacFrantic	amanda_dcosta 202.164.137.248	18-Jun-06/10:55 PM
I fell that this could be an excerpt from a story. somehow it gives me an eerie feeling. I don't particularly like death themes esp when settled around brutality.
