It's the cahmpagne. Love and marriage - they seldom go together. Dream on and enjoy the slow dance at a wedding that isn't yours. Good thoughts

I'm sorry it makse sense in either sense. I sense a senseless thankfulness.
Re: a comment on Many Thanks by Dovina	3-Oct-04/10:52 AM
I've been busy with a different sort of imaginary life. Thanks, it's nice to be missed.
Re: Middle of the Night by Sasha	23-Sep-04/4:54 PM
I like this. It's unusual and right and nicely done.

Too vague, but I like the first and last lines.

I wish I were a princess so I could at least have good food and be waited on. As it it is I just get all the guff this good poem mentions.

I'd love to tell you, but what in the world do you mean?
Re: a comment on Solitude by Dovina	14-Sep-04/11:07 AM
Alone in my spiral, as natural for me as the coil of a seashell, as right as a falcon’s dive. (See above)

Smoking is cool because you think it is cool. That's an opinion about how it looks or feels.
Re: a comment on Solitude by Dovina	14-Sep-04/11:01 AM
You have come back for another look at one of similar facial dimensions.
Re: a comment on Licking An Ashtray by Blindpoetry	14-Sep-04/10:25 AM
Nice try, but of course you know that is not even close to what I was saying. If you want to discuss something, why do you insist on changing it first? If you want to discuss a new topic, why don't you propose a new topic?
Re: Keep Your Mouth Shut and Your Gun Loaded by wilco	14-Sep-04/10:05 AM
Nothing left to do but blue collar bitching when all the debts are paid? I must be missing something.
Re: a comment on Solitude by Dovina	14-Sep-04/9:59 AM
I haven’t seen it, but solitude isn’t bad at all.
Re: a comment on Solitude by Dovina	14-Sep-04/9:57 AM
Apologies . . .
Re: a comment on Solitude by Dovina	14-Sep-04/9:56 AM
Anytime I can set two poems before someone and hear him say that only one of them he’s just not feelin’, well, that’s a good day. Thanks for honesty. Have your visited http://poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=111772 lately? By the way, when a peregrine falcon swoops toward its prey at close to 200 mph, it follows a curve known as a logarithmic spiral. The shortest path, of course, would be a straight one, but since a falcon's eyes are opposed on either side of its head, straight flight would require the bird to cock its head to keep the prey in sight. Nature loves the logarithmic spiral. From sunflowers, seashells and whirlpools to hurricanes and spiral galaxies, we see this form at all scales. Encoded within the logarithmic spiral is perhaps the most mystical of all numbers, phi, approximately 1.61803.

Thanks, glad you like it.
Re: a comment on Licking An Ashtray by Blindpoetry	13-Sep-04/9:36 AM
Suppose the science table were turned and the results showed that smoking improves health. You would then have two good arguments: “I enjoy smoking,” and “Smoking is good for me and our secondhand smoke is good for you damn nonsmokers.” The only argument I would have is, “I don’t like to smoke and I don’t like secondhand smoke.” In its present state of development, science happens to make me look like a prudent prude and you a happy-go-lucky fun-seeker. Except for a referee that has changed from alchemy to chemistry and earth-centered to sun-centered, we feed each other the same argument. We agree on a good glass of red wine, let science be damned. To agreement. (clink) Cheers.

Right. Good.
Re: a goblet of divine wine brings me dreams by Prince of Void	12-Sep-04/3:11 PM
Yea, I've felt like that, the haunting love of divinity, into the mystical world. Why is that? Good poem.
