I meant, leave out "in it"

Write something so powerful you want to puke.

Thanks for positive comment. I did ponder on the spelling of "revelling" but my English dictionary says double L, so I went with that rather than the Americanism of the Microsoft spell check !

The point of diminishing returns is quite the hangnail.

Yes, sweet retribution. Kill him, that'll fix the matter.

You should set off the refrain some way, indented perhaps, Maybe call this a lyric. Most of this is good, but "worship" goes too far.

do what?

Wish I could do that.

"skim layers of skin" - that lava soap did that. Didn't know you lived next door.
Dovina on The Jesus Belt by Caducus 24 May 2005, 10:49 AM
Good. Just a few take-it-or-leave-its: "and belief turned lies"? "A father's seed"? "made to bleed"?

"I am Ungrateful, Ungratefully.... That's simply fucking awful, man.

Even a lobotomized logician’s got feelings.

The nostalgia greys out under all this summing up.

Ah...nostalgia! Pass the catsup and don't forget to bring in the wash off the line after dinner.

Quite a departure from your usual style.
PodPoet replying on Semite to Semite by PodPoet 23 May 2005, 8:58 PM
Thanks, and I agree with you. Cut down on the "chorus" and I like it more. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I don't know that this is a concrete...I'm a fan of repetition to some extend but I think it's too much here. Try the "deep dark eyes part mybe every third or fourth stanza...
wilco on Spontaneous Combustion by wilco 23 May 2005, 8:27 PM
So, what happened? I leave for a while and Rockmage comes back filled with old hippie hatred for everything and plasters everyone with zeroes? I'm a little confused.

Now it's my turn to say, calm down. I’ll admit to indulging in what (correct if I misinterpret) you see as possibly feminist words. I don’t like to think of them as feminist (meaning to promote female esteem) but rather feminine (expressing a female point of view). I don’t want this poem seen as a position that favors women. Rather I want it to show how a woman feels when a man is sensitive enough to say words that raise her self-respect and make her feel that he sees more in her than she previously saw in herself, and in addition when he connects her with her history. A woman might have provided that for me or a gay man (I have a couple of gay friends) but when added to the conversation, I feel the nuzzle of his nose on my ear, and purely masculine emotional support, well, the thing was overwhelming.

you're such an ugly-souled little cousinfucker.
