Your summary is good up to your rephrasing of my my last response. My answer to "And what's the point of saying that anyway?" was not "Blaaaaaaaat." Please read it again.

I am so flattered.

I’m an amateur magician. Just ask zodiac. He’s seen my magic a dozen times over, and never has figured out how I do it. All he can say is “Ha.”

By "poetry of imagery", you can't possibly mean your poetry.

Everything except the semicolon is great. Nice one.

Can't trust that day. On a related note, I just watched that movie Elephant last night. Now that's some fucked up shit.

Ha.
zodiac on The End by Caducus 15 Oct 2005, 5:50 AM
Q: Did you know that "The End" is infamously the name of the Doors' awful Apocalypse Now theme-song? Christ, maybe I AM old. Or educated.

An almost certain way to get you off-topic is to state the exact topic we're discussing, with concommitant questions and prompts. I suppose you're afraid of being tied down. I think at this point you're just still not getting it because you're helpless about such things. You probably don't even remember exactly what this conversation's about. DOVINA 10-Oct-05/1:32 AM: We have faith in God because we are built to have such faith. ZODIAC 10-Oct-05/11:08 AM: By whom are people built to have faith? DOVINA 10-Oct-05/12:00 PM: Maybe pure evolution. ZODIAC 10-Oct-05/12:14 PM: Evolution didn't build us. ZODIAC 10-Oct-05/12:47 PM: And what's the point of saying that anyway? DOVINA 14-Oct-05/5:52 PM: Blaaaaaaaat.
That's the thing about self-love, isn't it? It's hard to find an audience as interested as you are.

I did come one, eventually, but nothing makes me instantly get a hard-on.

Ask yourself if the reason you think rap is closer to literature poetry is because it simply has MORE WORDS than other musical forms. Yeah, I thought so too, then a bunch of rappers disagreed.

I see the idea now but when I first read it, it sounded like an amateur magician.

Glad too. The author of ten nibs are her fingers stroking me through making love. Writing/Carving a memory which scarred. This poem is a typical example of locking the door while you write so you are not interrupted. Flawed because of it but thanks for the negs and positve comments -one i wil have to revisit.
yeah the spelling and grammer is a big problem, it's distracting from the rest of the poem, which is alright.

Are you man or woman? Because I've never heard of women being drafted but on the other hand you wear a skirt. Maybe your just Scottish.

verbal diarrhoea (or diarrhea to us blue collar folk) and Rainman may be things atributed to some of your other poems but not this one. Good job.
ALChemy on Cycles In Circles - Shame by D P Robertson 14 Oct 2005, 12:46 PM
I think we all get it. Your recycling words. Now shut up already. I'm guessing you read Poe so read his essays on composition in poetry. He'll tell you to make your point quickly and not to waste the readers time. If you write something this long it should at least tell a somewhat coherent and interesting story. You took a nice stab at it though. Actually 126 stabs.

Your use of fragmented sentences is obtuse. "an eye" Unless your making some obscure reference to the movie A.I. which I doubt.
