I obviously already told you what true criticism is, so telling me not to tell you is rather a waste of your words. If it didn't make any sense, I'm sorry you're unable to understand. And after having many others criticize on this piece of work, other than the "poetically educated," I find that it’s perfectly fine in the form it’s in. If it speaks to a common person, then it’s served it’s purpose...and I could frankly care less about any opinion from someone who decides to criticize with insults instead of true criticism...which you obviously lack. Poemranker, again, is worthless for true criticism...so I will go elsewhere (to your unbinding joy, no doubt). It was good for a moment, thinking that someone with an education focused on poetry could be useful, but instead they remain like the many others before them, pompous and without any useful commentary. -SKoP

lol, now that made me laugh, and I agree.

I dare accuse you by your comments.

1)Again...a worthless place for a good, useful opinion on poetry. 2)You are your own left buttock. 3)You must be, by your logic, a perfect retard. 4)Pretentious- instead of giving true critizism you insult, per definition "of a display that is tawdry or vulgar." This shows that my definition was correct in the first place...your proposed was off by quite a long-shot. 5)Decapolis has nothing to do with the subject of my poetry...just like poem-ranker probably has little to do with the subject of your own. 6)If you wish to put your obvious education to proper use, then be a good critic that gives useful information to a poet rather than a stream of insults. Insults help neither you nor the poet. You turn yourself into prick in their eyes while putting your education to waste and leaving the page blank of anything meaningless whatsoever. 7)You're Welcome.

Oh, and if you're going to attempt at proving my opinions wrong...make sure you give sufficient evidence and not just a stream of insults. You tend to think, I notice, that insults will degrade someone and make them feel bad about what they believe. Well, it won't work here. It merely shows me your inability to cough up the proof you might think you have along with civilized conversation. -SKoP

Well, to fit the form of the "golden rule," I can't believe that this place is full of pretentious idiots. Of course, bad assumption on my part, no doubt. The whole world is full of ‘em, so why wouldn’t this place be? Anyway, what I've seen in the past two days is enough to tell me that the mind set of many of these people, zodiac and Dark_Angel for most, is rather narrow and poorly assumptive. Both keep believing that this poem is about "religion" or a lost love, broken heart, etc. Can it be? Sure. It can deal with many area's of life, but for two self-claimed geniuses to keep believing that it merely deals with two areas of life shows their incompetence for a wider range of thought. One, this poem never has the words “religion” or “god” anywhere. Maybe you believed it was about love because it seems to be directed at one person? Well, why does it have to be a person at all? Or maybe you thought it was a broken-hearted love poem because of just the word “love,” even though we love many things other than that of our “true love.” This poem can deal with religion, this poem can deal with love, but the main focus was a wasted life (seen by the last two lines). And whoever said my theology was wrong...prove that it is. Also, whoever didn’t understand why I used “seams” then must not remember Frankenstein (which, I assumed, would be so simple to get). So, I now know that even the educated can’t deduce a poem worth a flip...making poemranker.com a rather worthless place to get a good, useful opinion on poetry.
Re: a comment on Reflections of the Living Dead by SomeKindofPoet	22-May-04/9:10 AM
Again, expand your horizons. This poem isn't ness. about failed love and doesn't ness. have to do with religion at all. But good try anyway.

lol, you might want to be a bit more specific.
Re: All the things i hate by Mutant_X	21-May-04/12:31 AM
Hm...reminds me of "Ten Things I Hate About You" Good idea, however, I'm not much on free verse unless it has a rhythm to it...that would be my advice. -SKoP
Re: a comment on Reflections of the Living Dead by SomeKindofPoet	21-May-04/12:22 AM
Expand your poetic horizons and think metaphor. -SKoP
Re: a comment on Reflections of the Living Dead by SomeKindofPoet	21-May-04/12:16 AM
Anyway, your comment on the poem would be nice. -SKoP

Zodiac is beginning to sound like the infamous J. Evans Prichard, P.H.D. and his little essay of "Understanding Poetry." The description of that was "excrement," I believe. So yeah, rip out that page.
Re: a comment on Reflections of the Living Dead by SomeKindofPoet	20-May-04/11:30 PM
Well, zodiac, this was my reply to that topic. "*whispers* It's hilarious how the title of this site is "Christian" and yet we don't talk any differently than the rest of the world...shies the pity, indeed. -SKoPwhohatesvulgarlanguage...and wonders what happened to the whole "you shall be set apart" bit." And this was their reply to that... "Actually the title of this site is 'Decapolis.'" and... "piss off eh. and what happened to the friggin topic?? haha i mean i've seen some deviations before but **** ! yeah too bad i dont have any back stabbing whores here to pal around with... but i gots mah beer!!" Very sad...indeed. -SKoP
