The first six lines are good, but Einstein's Relativity is not "like" these things.

Have you never followed the easiest path?

The first three verses great. And the mulberry tree lines are good - seem to complete the moth lines. But in between, well, why?

Thank you for the invitation of membership in The Rutherford Club. So nicely phrased. I must, however, decline due to prior commitments.

A delightful fancy that seem calling for meter, even rhyme. I'd sacrifice rhyme though for a steady rhythm.

Your usual Poemranker therapists are out today. Perhaps the above canines and this will help. By the time you understand love, it may no longer interest you.

I hadn’t thought of the lightning striking the oak, it adds another direction this thing could go. Shocked moss!

Quite good.

You will likely be shocked, but not dismayed upon learning, which I urge you to do, that a plum only carries the meaning -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. imputed when stripped of its ordinary, dictionary definition.

Next you'll be asking for iambic pentameter.

I'm touched. You can be my friend.

Was it insipid?
Re: a comment on The Rockets’ Song by Dovina	7-Dec-04/12:42 PM
To covet is to yearn after. But I would not covet the same brace of buttocks you would, even if we are both tempted, as we are, by all braces of buttocks we see. Tempting is not something I do, except hopefully to certain others. Coveting I do, and not to others. To the extent that it’s a sin, I sin in coveting, but if being tempted were a sin, then sin is unavoidable. So, shun the temptation of those buttocks, and sin not. Good day.

That's the way.
Re: a comment on The Rockets’ Song by Dovina	6-Dec-04/7:23 PM
Temptation preceedeth coveting, lest what shall a man covet that doeth not draw his interest? He sinneth not unless he proceedeth from seeing to coveting.
Re: a comment on The Rockets’ Song by Dovina	6-Dec-04/7:22 PM
“Shocked with dismay,” “abysmal outcome,” and “urging your use of strong language,” are inelegant because they use ordinary words with their ordinary definitions to point out your prudish arrogance. Your elegant “mouth plums” relies on cultural setting and carries an air of aristocracy – an elegant Briticism. “Howdy!” and “Y'all!” are particular to sections of the US, not general Americanisms.

Then I have committed the sin of descending from the common stock of Eve and being tempted to place a shade of beige in my drapes that matches my carpet. But how is temptation a sin? I only sin if do the unmentionable act.
