You have a vivid imagination and a correct assessment. (ass essment) without even seeing it. And it was not you whom I was asking for more comments on my poem, since you've already commented. I'm happy for the nice votes, but was fishing for more participation.

Oh, I can assure you it's copied...line for line.

I would hope that one who had assimilated that much information would have had their mind expanded/enlightened in the process, but perhaps that's not the point of college(not to most americans, anyways)? Yes that was the rather weak comparison I was making, and I'm assuming you meant verse four. I'm trying to think of a better last line.

Oh, you meant to your poem? My bad.

#1 came across as a satire of what you thought I was. You actually think the opposite of me than what you said in the play? I'm very glad to know that you don't wish for me to kill myself. #2 I'm just showing that being insulting doesn't really help anyone.#4 I actually thought you were talking about the "Sunlighting" poem I linked in my comment. So most of this argument is based on us missinterpreting each other. Talk about a humorous bit of writing? This argument has been one big situation comedy. Priceless:) I'm dyslexic so they had me take IQ tests at different point in my years of schooling. I hope the redneck comment was sarcasm becuase otherwise it's a straight up racial slur. I promise I won't point out your spelling and grammar mistakes too, unless it confuses things.

I put up what I think is more than half-assed. "Nice ass"? Whatever.
Re: a comment on A Country Anecdote by Dovina	ALChemy 24.74.100.11	1-Apr-06/12:34 PM
Nice ass :)
Re: a comment on A Country Anecdote by Dovina	Dovina 70.38.78.229	1-Apr-06/12:22 PM
Thanks. Any other comment?

#1 No it's not an actual play. It's just a humorous bit of writing I did to let off steam and practice being funny. It's undisguised sarcasm, or so I thought. #2 Probably not. #3 Because it's fun. Please, just tell me which poems. #4 When I said that poem's a piece of crap i was refering to my poe"She Thinks She's Fat" and I already know why I think it's a piece of crap. My IQ ten years ago was 180. I'm sure it's come way down since then. Why do you keep paperwork that proves your IQ? I wasn't using the word moron to say you're stupid, just thick-headed. I gave a specific explanation on a public website. The comments are there for everyone to read. My manner is sometimes provincial but my character is not. I can't be a redneck because I am 'a person of color' as it were. I never ever point out mis-spellings in comments, because i usually don't see them. If I can understand what your saying I don't care. I only point it out in poems because it makes a difference in how seriously the poem can be taken. in the comments it doesn't matter if you write your or you're in less it confuses things and it typically doesn't.

The point is, that's the way people DO look at things. Where you had a chance to invent your own title/phrase/whatever and score originality points, your readers saw this and said, oh, Celine's title, well that's not very original.

#1: Oh, so this is an ACTUAL play? This is a literary work written for performance on the stage. I can't wait to see it performed. Woops, no dialogue, must be some kind of improve thing. #2 You still don't get it, do you? #3 All that effort to read my poems and you only comment on two of them which both came before this argument started. Sure, it had nothing to do with finding more things to insult me with. #4 If I don't bother you then why bother with all this bullshit you're slinging? What I'm saying is that you are pretentious, ergo most of your poetry is. I may be wrong about the poems but seeing several unnecessarily long poems certainly puts up a red flag. #5 If you'll look you'll see I had no major beef with your critique on this poem but then you'll drop a bird turd like "That poem's a piece of crap" with no reason. You gave Dovina a specific explanation on the "To Michelle" poem, not me. Your specific reason is misguided at best. I've given you several comparisons to help you understand that. Now see, I went through your whole list without ever stooping to the pathetic level of calling you a moron. By the way, I bet my IQ is higher than yours and I've got paperwork to prove it. p.s. From the obvious displays of provincial often bigoted attitude towards other style/forms of poetry I'd say you're pushing closer to the definition of redneck than I am. p.p.s. Feel free to point out any misspelling or bad grammar I've used in this comment. I'm sure I probably did some and I'm sure you'll notice.

Redneck: a person whose neck is red in the back from sunburn - not from Texas where everyone wears broad-rimmed hats, nor from the South, where it’s always too nasty to go outside. No, rednecks live only in Southern California and are restricted to bicycle-riders, who always lean forward on the handlebars. – Dovina’s Dictionary

I noticed how you omitted part Dictionary.com's definition. redneck n. Offensive Slang 1.Used as a disparaging term for a member of the white rural laboring class, especially in the southern United States. 2.A white person regarded as having a provincial, conservative, often bigoted attitude. Then beneath that: redneck n : a poor white person in the southern United States [syn: cracker] Rewriting the dictionary for how you think it should be, how typically you.

There are different ways to looking at it. Why now think 'Wow! if only Celine Deon's awful song was as wonderful as this!' Why not change your way of looking at things. Does it has to be the other way round just because that's the usual norm? We need to change the way we look at things as change is the essence of growth.

She's resorted to name calling and purposely misinterpreting everything I say. Unlike you and Zodiac, there is nothing stimulating or intellegent coming from her. She still didn't get the fact that I've been saying about her poems the same crap she's been saying about mine. She is by her own definition a moron. But for your pleasure I may continue the fight.
Re: The Unforgiven II by alvinb	Dovina 70.38.78.229	31-Mar-06/6:39 PM
I don't know if you copied this or not. It would be easy to find out. It's even easier to find out that you voted yourself a 10.
Re: Old Friend by drnick	Dovina 70.38.78.229	31-Mar-06/5:15 PM
I like the first two verses. But verse three says that even in post-graduate fashion, your mind cannot fathom how you let him/her go, as if post-graduateness affects your ability to fathom such things. In verse three, "our memories" implies that her/his memories are available for you to evaluate as unending as the wind. But these are minor nits. Overall good.
Re: a comment on Old Friend by drnick	Ranger 62.252.32.15	31-Mar-06/2:34 PM
Good to see you posting again, by the way...I'm glad to see the last term hasn't done any harm to your writing!
Re: a comment on Old Friend by drnick	Ranger 62.252.32.15	31-Mar-06/2:33 PM
I have a couple still brewing away waiting to be put to paper, and another villanelle to submit, but I've been away recently - and tomorrow I go home for Easter, so maybe over the weekend. I'll have a think about this piece overnight too, see if I can give you a suggestion for that line. Maybe something along the lines of: "Like the radio playing an old song"?

Okay my last 2 poems have been short. To address. I'm living a beatnik lifestyle. Jazz. Wine. Etc... Word placement at the mo. is what it's all about for me. I will go back to the other styles but if you are wanting check out my previous. Ciao for now. CIAO.
