I almost didn't read because of the title, but it was worth it (both your choice of title and the read).

dovina is a plagiarist.

A hammer and nails aren't constructive either if you don't use them.

= Void. I suppose that's because you're the Prince of Void. You think your job is pretty much to say "void" in as many different ways as you can think of. It's as if the Princess of Wales just said "Wales, Wales, Wales, Wales, Wales," all the time.

u again Zodiac.... please give it a break. Your comments are not constructive and your ignorance is annoying me.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	6-Jan-06/6:41 PM
You don't think dropping the "that" might pull the line farther away from the sentence it's supporting though? Doesn't "stretches to the horizon’s hem" without "that" come across as a statement about emerald dresses in general. Like "A dog that speaks french" as opposed to "A dog speaks french". I could really use your help on what the proper punctuation should be in the poem's current form. I googled up like 5 different ways that people punctuated the "To be or not to be" quote.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	zodiac 209.193.14.43	6-Jan-06/5:32 PM
Oh, cool it, you two. Here's Dovina doing all sentence fragments (and getting called on it): http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=113457 So clearly she doesn't think it's such a violation. For my bit, I think you'd do good without "that" but with "the" before "horizon's". Dropping articles always looks like bad fortune-cookie writing to me. I've long ago stopped caring about fragments, unless they're your whole poem.

Prose poetry is prose with enough poetic elements that it can't be accepted as just prose.

I like how you're diversifying yourself.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	ALChemy 24.74.101.159	6-Jan-06/2:37 PM
I'm sorry if I came off as upset. I was merely confused by you stating something that is obvious. Usually doing that implies that you're either insulting someones intelligence or being vague about what you really mean to say. Apperantly it was the latter. To call your previous comment constructive criticism is once again suggesting an insult to my intelligence. On the other hand your first comment is quite constructive and I even managed to take something from the second one but only because your reaction(not information) confirmed my doubts about the punctuation. Why you are jarred by this "oddball" sentence fragment and not by the one that immediately follows is a mystery to me. I can give you 13 examples of this type of "oddball" sentence in one great poem alone: Rudyard Kipling's "If". As you can see by my responses, I take something possitive from most of the feedback you make vague(not bad) or not. I respect you and I don't take the things you say lite, nor do I respond with spite.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	Dovina 69.175.32.104	6-Jan-06/11:36 AM
I thought, mistakenly it seems, that you wanted constructively intended feedback. I only said it should be a complete sentence because all the other sentences in the poem are complete. Having this oddball "sentence" seemed jarring to me. If that's bad feedback, then what can I say?
Re: a comment on greymo(u)rn by lmp	lmp 141.154.134.3	6-Jan-06/10:42 AM
i wasn't sure it would fit in with prose because of the line breaks, unless a prose poem allows for that. short story might work, except there really is no story here, more like an illustration: no plot, no direction, just images and feelings.
