That is a deep scar. Watch out if the tide gets too high or too low.

This is great. Small things: corn rows should probably be two words (otherwise it's the hairstyle, no?); is unmoored quite it?--are they drifting in this dream, undone? killer ending and a richness of imagery and sounds.

Second stanza is particularly brilliant, as are the others. Remarkable. *10*

Very nice. I've been to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens many times. I had to walk down that gravel path barefoot once -- long story. And I've always wanted to fish in the Japanese Pond.

One of the biggest differences between us is when you say something smart, I like and respect you. Whatever I say on poemranker, you'll still think of me as the boy who pantsed you in third-grade gym. What incentive do I have to act pleasant with you, then? If you don't mind my saying so, I think you need to take a big Dovina step back from all that pent-up emotion. It doesn't seem healthy.

Ace. But he's already scared off, methinks.

OK. Zodiac, quit calling her a blathering moron and walking off. Is that better? Wanna lolipop? It's not free. I often put my two cents in.

Are you bent up about the logic so-called debate ending? Christ, I thought we all were relieved when that abortion dropped off 20 Most Recent. I call you a blathering moron when you blather. When you don't, I argue with you. Arguing with a blatherer only brings shame on the arguer. The blatherer thinks he's ace.

I do know quite a lot about post-modernism and my PhD engaged with different notions of intertextuality, notably Bloom's theory of antithetical criticism. Theorists are divided as to whether all texts are intrinsically intertextual (as Kiristeva might argue) or whether it is generally a conscious writing strategy, the deliberate use of allusion to create a complex matrix of potential meaning. Which, of course, leads us into reader-response criticism and the idea that King Lear is about nuclear war; not, of course that he consciously intended this, but that a modern reader will re-interpret the text in light of their own experience. Intertextuality is good. All poetry is written in response to what has gone before, all poetry is criticsm of other literature. Nicking lines from Dylan Thomas because you can't think of your own is just being a bit rubbish/

Then tell him to argue, and to quit calling me a blathering moron and walking off. Do you think your entertainment should be free?
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	10-Jan-06/11:17 AM
You two are just too damn entertaining when you argue.

Find stuff that is more unique to this bridge so that it can't be applied to any other bridge. Kudos for choosing to write about a bridge in Brooklyn that's not the Brooklyn Bridge.

You never played the peacemaker for zodiac and me. Is one of us not "good people"?
