It's crap, and you know it.

You still amaze me with the poetry in your comments. Ace.

Soft Concrete To be called a twott With newness of thought On a poem I called a mess To the end that he messed it no less Totals out to a nonpoetic pest

It may or may not be but at least I minimize my crap compared to some of the pretentious, hellacious dumps you've taken. You bore me. I must go to work now.

Did'nt know Nick-at-Night was holding a poetry contest. This would win the 7th grade class by a hair.

Poems for the last 300 years or more have expressed similar sentiments, but they are new for each new lover. Carry on, and try to make it as original as is possible with such a cloud of witnesses.

Tell me what you've got when you take a belligerent twat and mix her with an uptight swot? By God you have got another form of TWOTT.

Alchemy is not really mythical. I meant that his recent poem about the sun and moon sounds like a myth sounds. I find the affectation of old styles has a charm that does not have to be comical, if done well.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	ALChemy 24.74.100.11	28-Mar-06/7:22 PM
Well, I guess you got me there.

So use it in a poem without sounding like a delusional old man.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	god'swife 71.103.98.44	28-Mar-06/7:19 PM
That's the form not the style.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	ALChemy 24.74.100.11	28-Mar-06/7:18 PM
How about "TWOTT". That one's brand spanking new.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	god'swife 71.103.98.44	28-Mar-06/7:18 PM
Since when is alchemy mythical? There are no others, except maybe someone who's writing humorous poetry. I never said it wasn't ok. Everything's ok when it comes to creativity with the exception of having to take a life. It's my opinion that this kind of affectation comes across as insincere.

Any style of poetry with the prefix Neo in front of it. Jack Kerouac wrote Haikus.

I bet I've written more topical poetry than you. I bet I've said more with less words than you also. I don't mind that you don't have much flexability in your poetry. I rate poetry for what it is. I may not like Jazz but I don't go around saying your music sucks because it's Jazz.

fax, megabyte, cellphone, to name a few more. But little has changed under the sun in human relationships, but we don't give up on describing them. Every love is new.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	god'swife 71.103.98.44	28-Mar-06/7:07 PM
Human thought on relationships hasn't changed much in oh maybe 8,000 years. The only noun which is exclusively of the present is 'apartment' every other noun existed since Faustus was born.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	Dovina 70.38.78.229	28-Mar-06/7:05 PM
Alchemy, of course. And I am not his PR rep. And even if there were no others, and there are, I would still maintain that it's an ok thing to do.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	god'swife 71.103.98.44	28-Mar-06/7:03 PM
What are you his PR person? What do you mean "mythical tone"? Name one poet who reverted to writing in a style from a previous era.
Re: a comment on To Michelle by ALChemy	Dovina 70.38.78.229	28-Mar-06/7:00 PM
His most recent poem has a mythical tone to it also, but by his explanation, we know he was not trying to be antiquated, except in his method of poresentation. His thoughts seem entirely up-to-date. I see nothing non-reality or melodramatic in using the poetic structures of other generations to express current thoughts.
