Dovina replying on Endurance by Dovina 11 Jul 2005, 1:28 PM
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.
Dovina replying on Al-Qaida Blues by Bluemonkey 11 Jul 2005, 11:51 AM
I'm assuming that because of the title, you are talking about an Arab teen with explosives taped around his stomach.
Bluemonkey replying on Al-Qaida Blues by Bluemonkey 11 Jul 2005, 11:50 AM
and why would I capitalize 'you'?

What who feels?

uh, ok.
Dovina on Al-Qaida Blues by Bluemonkey 11 Jul 2005, 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.
Good God, man.
Bluemonkey on Flies in the ointment. by darby pyn 11 Jul 2005, 11:43 AM
I'm confused as hell on this one.
Dovina on a.m. by oneglove 11 Jul 2005, 11:41 AM
Are you that afraid of dreams? My father was.
Bluemonkey on Endurance by Dovina 11 Jul 2005, 11:40 AM
I kind of like this...despite what the general consensus seems to be..gotta go with my gut..
Bluemonkey on Slice Open My Body by TLRufener 11 Jul 2005, 11:39 AM
boo. You can and have done better.
Bluemonkey on JUST A FEW by rbooey 11 Jul 2005, 11:37 AM
Please refer to my reply to your comment on the suggestions page for my reason for giving this a 0.
Bluemonkey on A World At War by Damien 11 Jul 2005, 11:32 AM
If you're going to write about something like this...and be as graphic as you have, for God sakes, man, don't rhyme.
Dovina on When my place is placeless by Prince of Void 11 Jul 2005, 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.
Bluemonkey on Almost Persuaded by Dovina 11 Jul 2005, 11:28 AM
Good rhymes. Not wild about the poem itself, but I'll give you a 6 for that.
Dovina on Flies in the ointment. by darby pyn 11 Jul 2005, 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?
Dovina replying on Almost Persuaded by Dovina 11 Jul 2005, 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...
