It's an uplifting verse for church and friendly settings like greeting cards. As such, the rhythm and rhyme should be consistent, which they mostly are.

Dear Alchemy, I shall leave your moronic comment for people to laugh at for its stupidity and ignorance. Hereby has no hyphen, dumbo. And you got the original wrong too. Jesus wept.

Here's the atheist argument against the existence of god: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/quentin_smith/atheism.html Here's the apologist response: http://www.tektonics.org/guest/kalamber.html Funny how they use the same idea against each other. The "why does evil exist if god is all good and compassionate" argument by atheists is silly because good and evil are just positive and negetive. It's like saying a perfectly positive thing like the number 2 can't exist because negetive numbers exists. If god destroys all evil he becomes unidentifiable as an all good being because everything else becomes perfectly good. He'll have to carry a sign or something when that happens. Evil is a counter balence of good, good is a counter balence of evil. I suppose it's part of our purpose here on earth to figure out exactly which is which.

True Story: Probably the second most common version of Eenie, meenie, minie, moe rhyme has this verse in it; Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch a nigger by his toe If he hollers make him pay, Fifty dollars every day So someone more vulgar than you beat you to it.

Something similar happened but for the sake of narrative I changed the truth a little. We never left with 4 collies, we left with one and all i can say is it was the nastiest dog i ever had.
Re: The Runt by Caducus	lmp 141.154.134.3	13-Jun-06/7:04 AM
a harsh topic but very well written . well, that's life, i guess... like the use of color and element: "blue montage of sulphur" and also the "bowl headed woman" (reference to her haircut?). "growling wind of ash" is again a fitting description. i guess you also illustrate a pretty interesting point about parents who want their kids to witness the "miracle of birth" by having a littler of puppies. sure, if everything goes well it can be a great experience (or maybe even still it can be traumatic). but if it doesn't, then how do you explain? especially if the parent has a hard time of it? i am presuming this was written from personal experience?

no offense taken for the bottle, now that you have clarified. :) again i will say that i think that your sentiment is dead on; it is the way that you have portrayed the story that brings down your very good idea. this can be reworked or even re-written in an entirely new work. i don't mean to discourage my any means. in fact, a poem about your expereinces with the old woman at the church would be an excellent piece to read. and you could still make the point that you are making in this piece, but from another angle; it may even be more powerful. regarding the "help yourself"... it is not simply education or inherent opportunity that i believe in. it is spirit. those who are not the entitled, not the brightest, not the physically strong, can still persevere as long as they have the spirit to do so. one whose spirit has been quashed has but two options: give up or persevere. if one is to be beaten, defying defeat is the most triumphant thing a being can do. at least i think so.

Person using Mr. Robins' computer: thanks for the anon zero - I assume it's to get Fraser back on top spot (where he rightly belongs) but you know, you could have just asked ;-)
Re: Blessings by amanda_dcosta	Ranger 86.131.60.175	13-Jun-06/1:01 AM
Amanda, I can't stop for long but I thought I'd log in briefly to say that I think this is one of the best poems you've posted so far. It has an almost impeccable rhythm (line 24 I think you can afford to lose 'all', and line 27 felt a little short - other than that I have no complaints) which meant that I even glossed over the 'hearts/apart' rhyme without noticing...very rare indeed for me not to see that one straight away. I have to say also that it has a lightness of heart which is ideal for a sunny tuesday morning here. So thank you for the read! Anyhoo, must dash - I'll catch you later, for sure.

Re: a comment on Won’t Somebody Be My Friend by amanda_dcosta	amanda_dcosta 202.164.142.153	9-Jun-06/9:56 PM
Thank you Imp for your response..... Was wondering if you had read it at all. As for the bottle....I was merely suggesting a possibility based on the normal trend that's present in today's world. If it has offended you, then.... I'm sorry. But no harm meant. And about taking note of people... well, that's a very hard thing to do. There was a time when I used to meet a poor old woman who used to sit by the church gate and beg. I was broke then, and I used to tell her that I couldn't help her by giving her anything. And she used to get offended. Ans slowly I began to talk to her frequently. The best part was that I couldn't understand her language (we have umpteen languages in India) and she couldn't understand mine. It was more like sign language from my part. But this bent up old lady would wait for me to come there freuently and start pouring out all that she kept in her heart to share with me. She used to be so ecstatic by the end of each session that I got used to enjoying it too. And finally if I'd give her any money she'd take and give it to another beggarwoman near by. This used to confuse me quite a lot, and in time I began to realize that it was friendship she sought. This is just an example of what I've been trying to explain. Feel the needs of others. It's not that you don't have anything to give. And for them to help themselves.... if we who are educated and have an advantage start in life can't make ends meet, how can they who are deprived of almost everything in life except their life help themselves. Think about it.
Re: A Fart For All Mankind by Edna Sweetlove	horus8 24.126.116.245	9-Jun-06/7:55 PM
Exactly, once again you Brits prove you're entire universe is a black and white snap shot of a fatman sipping tea, and smelling ass. Thank god I'm a yankee, I can at least move past fart noises and onto other things like Jews, media, toast, and imploding politicians. fucking limey pirate cunt, I wouldn't even throw a dart at you in a pub on a whim. Because see, I'm on mushrooms and playing music, and writing poetry mate. I'm handsome, and blasting through life all a gawk, but you, you're a fucking whiner, and a bore. You always have been, to be Frank, although I'm Horus. You understand, that's why you read it, and whine, not imaginative enough to have done anything with your life. just another suit in a long line of complaints.
