The word at the start of s2 is "Resting" so I don't understand. I hate to see you pissed off and will do anything to make you happy (almost).
Dovina replying on How Angels Sleep by Dovina 18 Aug 2005, 10:10 AM
That works for me too. I think all the stanzas have a submissive beat. The angel is submissive to the Teacher and to his task. The woman is submissive to being comforted by the angel, even as he fails. And the woman in the last verse, who is finally comforted, is submissive to the angel. Could you explain what you mean? The full stop at the end of s2 is there for grammar’s sake. But I see how it breaks the flow, and may do well to disappear.

It flows beatifully except for the last line. Needs one more beat I think. "and she knew he understood(Dadum)." PS. beatifully was a pun.

The world is filled with assholes and idiots, don't let them bring you down. I'm glad it seems as though you've come to that conclusion yourself, rock on.

See usage note for "He" at Dictionary.com I don't think your either racist or a chauvinist but I do think "Everyone has his own problems" is chauvinistic in the tradition of so many other words that put him and not her into the words spoken by MANkind. The immigrant comment you must admit did appear to have an ever so slight racist undertone. "We all have our own problems" sounds fine to me and maybe even is a little more self-inclusive.

This is a pretty chillin poem man..... "Gunshot wounds to the heart tend, To rain less than they pour, A reality not occured well in, The land of unhinged doors," That's pretty intense -9- Lindz14

Bobjim on Home by Bethy 18 Aug 2005, 7:12 AM
Last few lines don't seem to fit as well as the rest, particularly the penultimate. Seems to me like "She'd do anything" would work better, but it's your poem. And I still give you a -9-
Fantastic. A privilege to read. -10- and favourite.
Bobjim on The Stone Man by Bethy 18 Aug 2005, 7:04 AM

I'm not trying to sound like an elitist because it isn't bad, it just doesn't sound unlike anything I've heard before, if you get what I'm saying
