Oh, that was too far back if you know what I mean. BTW, you're more right than you may know about Chequers - only a vacant store front across Main Street on the east side of the courthouse.

I find little enobling of thoughts on considering the whole thing in this way. not sublime anyway. Maybe some metaphor or speculation, like a blooming flower or something.

No. Eyes are not organs of reproduction. Flowers are. Of course you could take the arguement that the sole function of any organ is to help the organism reproduce. Your wisdom teeth, (misnamed), for example, then - what are they for?

The worst of it is having to sit beside a big blob of flesh on an airplane.

Probably right on both counts. It was meant to express the way I think she felt about the situation, rather than cute. But who really cares.

Except for 5'3" and 24" waist, you describe me. I've been snubbed and pushed at Robinson's May 24-hour sale enough to get some idea how they think.

For once your summary is accurate. However, the problem is still this: The addressee of the poem disapproves to an extent that would cause me to rage if I were in that circumstance. She, however, is so kind and self-controlled that she does not rage. It’s really that simple.

I can say that those are steps and side effects in reaching the goal of making seeds. Yes, I will say that. We’re talking about purpose and goal here. Strange how the path to a mundane goal sometimes becomes beautiful.

"a tub" in line 3, then a . at the end, or otherwise fix the grammar. Seems like the last 2 lines should move up.

She IS silly to think the sunrise will stay. That's the point.
Re: a comment on Strength by Dovina	10-Sep-05/5:01 AM
No. Disapproval does not necessitate rage. Some people rage at the slightest disapproval and some never rage. The two things are not closely related.
Re: a comment on Rejuvenation by Dovina	10-Sep-05/4:58 AM
What purpose do flowers have other than to produce seeds?

I'm hurt! You weren't there. Neither was Chequers - only a vacant store front across Main Street on the east side of the courthouse.

Alright, I'll be there.
Re: a comment on Rejuvenation by Dovina	8-Sep-05/1:06 PM
Become a daffodil. Forget about the human race. Right now I'm about to polish my yellow steel petals and go peppily out for some leisurely shopping snd dinner. You might find me later this evening at a bar in Dyersburg, Tn.

To answer your opening question, I can. Even the Apostle Paul could (Romans 7) Could omit "My personality is" in verse 2.
Re: modern death(Debuffeted) by Crakyamuni	8-Sep-05/12:34 PM
"sings" in the last line. "gray" unless you're British. A terrible poem, which doesn't mean it's not good. It's just terrible.
Re: a comment on First Love by Dovina	8-Sep-05/12:05 PM
I asked you if you really do not see the point of the poem. You answered “yes” you do not see the point, but added that you realize it’s a metaphor. You rambled about the reality of sunrises. I said your point was trite. That’s all it’s about as far as I can see.

How so?
