Yes, I had something in mind, but to spill it out defeats the purpose of implying it in a subtle way, hoping the reader will see what I mean. Still, I don't mind if you see something entirely different. Look at BlueMonkey's recent poem for an example of this.

Oh...no that's not what I was talking about but i guess I can see why you'd get that.
Re: a comment on Al-Qaida Blues by Bluemonkey	Dovina 69.175.32.185	11-Jul-05/11:51 AM
I'm assuming that because of the title, you are talking about an Arab teen with explosives taped around his stomach.
Re: a comment on Al-Qaida Blues by Bluemonkey	Bluemonkey 170.141.68.99	11-Jul-05/11:50 AM
and why would I capitalize 'you'?

What who feels?
Re: a.m. by oneglove	Bluemonkey 170.141.68.99	11-Jul-05/11:49 AM
uh, ok.
Re: Al-Qaida Blues by Bluemonkey	Dovina 69.175.32.185	11-Jul-05/11:47 AM
Who can say what they feel? I think this might sum it up as well as any. Might want to capitalize You.

I'm confused as hell on this one.

Are you that afraid of dreams? My father was.

I kind of like this...despite what the general consensus seems to be..gotta go with my gut..

If you're going to write about something like this...and be as graphic as you have, for God sakes, man, don't rhyme.
Re: When my place is placeless by Prince of Void	Dovina 69.175.32.185	11-Jul-05/11:30 AM
The first two lines get off to an irritating start because they imply a connection that is not there or not developed. You have not started from where the reader is.
Re: Almost Persuaded by Dovina	Bluemonkey 170.141.68.99	11-Jul-05/11:28 AM
Good rhymes. Not wild about the poem itself, but I'll give you a 6 for that.
Re: Flies in the ointment. by darby pyn	Dovina 69.175.32.185	11-Jul-05/11:27 AM
discarded plankton? What's that, and how is it related to a well? Her head held low in the ointment follows the title, but the rest of the images don't seem to work.

In what way is it not good? Please do not spare my tender feelings in your answer. I listen to all comments, and believe it or not, incorporate many of them. Here I have not done the things you usually find offensive - preaching, explaining, using funny grammar. So, what?
Re: a comment on Almost Persuaded by Dovina	Dovina 69.175.32.185	11-Jul-05/11:10 AM
Some of the unpredictably fascinating aspects of your comments are the “connections” you make and don’t make. The world spins today just as it has for a long, long time. Its spinning follows the principle of uniformity, manifested in the laws of physics. How you find the former to be positive and the latter negative is beyond my imagination. But many things about your deductions defy my imagination. Like your recent comment to rbooey: “You're about to suggest Dovina and I are in some buddy-buddy poemranker-dissing incrowd. . . . For your information, no two people dislike each other more than Dovina and I dislike each other.” I think you exaggerate in statements like that for the pleasure of controversy. Please don’t tell me you mean exactly what you said. Your question: “Does it take more work to keep an already-spinning world spinning or to stop it?” It takes no work (as defined in physics) to keep the world spinning, but it takes a lot of work to stop it. (Sorry, no diagrams or charts.) The interesting thing in regard to being almost persuaded to believe in God is that the laws of physics are uniform, unchanging, as if planned. It’s enough to make a person wonder. Thanks for the comment.

Sounds like some lyrics I have read...They make good money...Could fly...yeah...sure...would like to here the music to it, though...
