This is expansive and wonderful - 'frugal wisdom' I like a lot and the general sensual realism of it. Top stuff.

Why thanks very much - you are a gentleman sir. I've given up on birds, or at least cut back, thanks to you. Maybe it's done me some good.

Yes, 'cancel time' is very good - I quite like the 'art you make in bed' too.

God, that was illiterate. I meant the end of s1 and the end of s2, but my fingers got confused.
Re: a comment on missing you by Goose	19-Nov-02/8:30 AM
I'm glad I could help! I hink it works much better now
Re: The Wooden Armchair Of Similar Dreams by Caducus	19-Nov-02/8:29 AM
The last three lines carry a great burden very gracefully. I wonder a bit at the variation in rhyme scheme between end end of s 1 and the of s2, but that's just the pernickety formalist in me trying to get out. The main thing is you got a sensitive comment from Bachus - that is all the praise you will ever need. Well done.
Re: a comment on Litany of the Mullet by Shin-Bojangles	19-Nov-02/8:16 AM
I am proud to say i never have had and never will have a mullet. I survived the eighties without a mullet - there is some form of heroism in that. Indeed, NZ - on Saturday in fact, for three weeks. We're travelling the whole length of the North island and then flying down to Christchurch and Queenstown on the South Island - it all looks fabulous. I'll let you know when i get back.
Re: Litany of the Mullet by Shin-Bojangles	19-Nov-02/8:06 AM
I don't know if it's really lives up to the sacred heights of the haiku, but it is an insight into the mullet-wearer's psyche and invaluable for that reason.
Re: missing you by Goose	19-Nov-02/8:03 AM
The bit about the dirty joke is good, but I don't think you need the last two lines. It would be better left to just tail off, like your relationship.

I hope we can look forward to some poems about the killing of geese and the badger parade.

'exquisite corpse' is a very good way of putting it.

This just has to be a joke. Please please please let it be a joke
Re: Picnic Of Love by -=SeTTle=-	12-Nov-02/7:52 AM
What the hell is going on? This is not what one expects of you. Irony or no, this is too Disney for anyone's sanity.
Re: a comment on I Respect Your Feelings As A Woman And A Human by -=SeTTle=-	12-Nov-02/7:47 AM
But Z I thought you'd like the gardening imagery. Especially the 'flower-wielding soldier' bit.
Re: a comment on Horse Burgers by flanners	12-Nov-02/7:45 AM
But he's there, just above you. Can't you see? Or that an empty husk of a bachus?
Re: arise by daniella	11-Nov-02/2:22 AM
Something very mystic about this - a religious impulse I don't share, but which is impressive.
Re: a comment on Hehehe by The Eskimo King	11-Nov-02/2:07 AM
Thank you. Beavis or Butthead?
Re: a comment on Hehehe by The Eskimo King	11-Nov-02/2:06 AM
You are a mercurial fellow. You will bring interest to the site.
Re: Hehehe by The Eskimo King	11-Nov-02/1:54 AM
Well Mr Eskimo King, thanks for your highly constructive comment on my poem. It would be nice to have some reason for your hefty disapproval. Especially when your own offering is a Purple Ronnie rip off. So come on Shakespeare, what was so bad about mine?
Re: Tide by <~>	8-Nov-02/8:09 AM
Good grief, I can't believ I've never seen this one before. My radar must have been switched on. This is a killer, anyway - 'Furious with my own leaking' is such a strong phrase.
