Logic is math; math logic.

How about, "He loved her so much he forgot to vote"?

Don't get it.

Could do without Verse 5, otherwise pretty good. Sounds like Satin talking.
Re: The Widow Bird by Bhaskaryya	3-Jan-05/4:21 PM
A little over the top for a bird, doncha think? A young oak is not colossal. An allegory maybe.

(i) A beat B and got as fish as a reward. (ii) A, 1; B, a fish. Have I oversimplified? Yes they are different. But the fish is present as reward in (i) or score in (ii).
Re: a comment on My Wife by Dovina	3-Jan-05/3:17 PM
Perhaps so, maybe you mean it so, maybe not. I think not, otherwise a crab would do. The fish is often a reward for a trained seal.

To answer your first question: I did. I sang them because I was taught, and I still think my parents were right to teach them. They said their world was going to the dogs, and it wasn't near as bad as mine in regard to the moral issues they and you are complaining about. Still I sing Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men, because it's right and they were right and you are right if you don't lose faith. UNTIL THEN.

I don't think it's sexist.

Couldn’t resist. I must knuckle down and become less cheesy.

Wow! I thought that was as good as it gets. Thanks
Re: a comment on Math Poem 3 by Dovina	3-Jan-05/2:00 PM
It is a very simple example of math indeed, but that’s the point. If he touted something he could not fully believe, then he would always have a question behind his words, the nagging uncertainty. He had no doubt in his belief and could preach with confidence.

It’s one of the more dangerous things to say, but zodiac is right.
Re: a comment on Math Poem 3 by Dovina	3-Jan-05/1:59 PM
That’s no excuse! Stand in the corner until it’s done.
Re: a comment on Math Poem 3 by Dovina	3-Jan-05/1:58 PM
Thanks, and that’s a better way to write the equation, given a stiffly text-only format.

Tsunami was good. Twin Forks was good. Why go here when you've got better stuff?
Re: No More Autumn Poems (Edit) by Sasha	1-Jan-05/1:54 PM
After feeding the tree all summer, we put on this little show of color, then die. Long live Autumn! Good poem, but I want to be serenaded.

Understand the crooked maze. And not a bad use of words that rhyme with it.
Re: 38 Lines by auscot	1-Jan-05/1:44 PM
So what? If you have writers block, just say so.
Re: An Ode To An Angel by Bhaskaryya	1-Jan-05/1:42 PM
"strived for more than what was mine" Good line, and I say that because I have done that. "lucky few to have seen a miracle" Yes, and it's so easy to see afterward. Your explanitory notes at beginning and end only detract. The poem stands on its own.
