That poet would see past the trivia, would occasionally notice the value, even comment on the worth, i.e.: “I can't think of how to re-word it, though. Sorry I can't be more help; it's a cute little rhyme.” “Some of this is really nice. The rhythm, though, is so almost-regular it really hits you where it's not. Other than that, good.” “’To so confuse the daffodils’ would be better said ‘That so confuses daffodils?’ Otherwise, swell. 10” “I think the clinical sound of 'goal' is great.” “It's a companion piece for richa's dandelion clocks, maybe - and heavier on the Darwinism, which is ace. ‘Seeds are the goal’ is the best description of flowers I've read in a long time.” “I'm reversing myself. Clothes is fine, but you need an extra syllable or two: ‘The best art only clothes the truth’ would do.” I miss that poet.

Thank you. It touches my insides too, as if there's a place there that inspires the building of these magnificant churches even while I wonder at the meaning of it.

Thank you. It is a bit sad, unable to know the answers.

Early this summer, in the southwest of Ireland, rains did not fall in their usual abundance and the Catholic farmers prayed for rain or asked their priests to. This was unrelated to the potato famine except in the ageless dependence on rain, enough rain, not too much rain, of farmers who do not irrigate and have traditionally trusted their gods and priests.

I'm staring at stars and stairing up to pluck them, a pretty sight in my blindness. But my heart is healed by a hill on the land, so all is cool. ????

Upon reconsideration, I think this is the sort of poem that if read aloud by a spirited personality would carry an amusing and important message. Some poems are just made to be performed and some poets write for the stage. Cheers.

Please ignore zodiac. You have some errors, but punctuation would cure a lot of them. You have something to say here, but it's too verbose and not well organized. Don't give up.

You seem walking in circles within a supposed enemy which is simply the way of things.
Re: a comment on Faith by Dovina	26-Aug-04/11:28 AM
The most likely cause of the potato famine of the 1840's was overcrowding. The farms had been divided into such small sizes that the poor farmers planted closer and closer just to get enough money to survive, making their crops more susceptible to disease. Then when the blight came in the 1840's, aggravated by a spell of bad weather, or vice versa, the result was a million people dead of starvation and another 1.5 million leaving for the US and elsewhere. How is this relevant to my poem?

Dream it all out in super anger my friend. My we never whine with retarded emotional bagage, it always makes men mad amd us sad. Here's to calling each other names and writing rank poems and making up. Cheers.

"Pluck at me, guitar-boy-fingers," good line. Sing to me, love it.
Re: Smoking Skies by Enchantres	25-Aug-04/5:19 PM
Leave out "most" in "most purest." "Taking me away from me" is good, minus the comma. Pretty good overall.
Re: a comment on A Stitch In Time by Dovina	25-Aug-04/5:16 PM
Been sewing lately? mending maybe? Busting cliches perhaps, like "a stitch in time saves nine."
Re: a comment on Faith by Dovina	25-Aug-04/5:13 PM
Yes really. Somebody noticed that somebody wrote this thing, and that is far better than nobody noticing and nobody writing.
Re: a comment on A Piñon Planter by Dovina	25-Aug-04/5:11 PM
Really?
Re: a comment on A Piñon Planter by Dovina	25-Aug-04/5:10 PM
For whatever use this or any poem may find, including something to wipe with, it pales compared to the pure joy of writing it and seeing somebody notice.

Eyes moving about while the lids are closed. She's upset. I hate those kinda nights. Good poem.

I also like this one a lot, compliant Wil.

Even the doorknob becomes grief when grief is there. "The stoic moon shares it's lonely glow as if it knows."

A nostalgic neighborhood tour with lots of questions for one not acquainted with yours. Mine is very clear too.
