I think the point you think I am making is not the point I make.

"All animals are equally deserving of life." That is my notion, you say. Nay, my good sir, all animals think they are deserving of life, except some humans. The poem is not a political statement, as I am so often praised, but a look at the universe through insect's eyes.

If I change "Dark Journey" to "Angelically Dark Journey," would you make it a ten?

Funny. Why the ?? at the end?
Re: a comment on Center Of The Universe by Dovina	1-Jul-04/2:24 PM
Thanks for your comments. I don't try to save insects, but, illogically, I like whales and sea turtles. It's about inate selfishness and the comedy of importance each of us assumes or must accept, or is trapped into its service.
Re: Recycled Stardust by Quarton	1-Jul-04/1:35 PM
Good Title. Good ending. In the middle, you have some good lines, but the flow bogs in side issues and themes not very well connected to the main story. Not that they don't connect, I'd just work on how you connect them. Especially like, "when reality becomes fantasy and perhaps returns back to reality once again."

You over-compliment me. I mean only that I get as much out of this as from most of the other poems I've read here lately.
Re: a Waste of Space by thepinkbunnyofdoom	30-Jun-04/1:22 PM
Yes, I read it anyway, and it's as good as most of what's come down lately.
Re: finally i say goodbye by francis nor capule	30-Jun-04/1:04 PM
Though this appears to be heartfelt and a thought worthy of poetry, the presentation falls short of one of the best definitions of love I've read and a touching ode to a fallen sister, both by the same poet. It's not just you; a spirit of depression seems gripping poemranker like a disease in a beehive. I feel like a prodical daughter returning to find the houses boarded up and the homefolk moping around.
Re: a comment on The Poem Without an End Working Towards the Beginning by TheVoiceless	29-Jun-04/11:01 PM
Nay, my good sir, this is the epitome of great poetry. Each line should be savored and critiqued, metaphored in our own attempts to match its hugeness. Look again, pray, with eyes enlightened.

The Mother's Curse A noise in the dark I tremble in sheer terror - An escaped son?
Re: Little Girl by hbhpoems	29-Jun-04/4:01 PM
This is good, except for telling her what to do in the last two lines.
Re: a comment on Revision by Dovina	29-Jun-04/9:23 AM
Yes, repulsed is better. And I was not telling so much as screaming. The opposite of seduced is most modern sonnets.
Re: a comment on Sustained by Dovina	28-Jun-04/1:28 PM
I’m happy to hear that we can cut the crap and get on with poetry. Yes, I’d like to hear what you think of Quiet, Kind Hills, and anything I post. Your comments can be very useful.
Re: a comment on Tough by Dovina	28-Jun-04/11:54 AM
Shuushin, Shin Shuu, now ZamZara, next Zara Zam, thanks for noticing a telling line.
Re: a comment on Sustained by Dovina	28-Jun-04/11:51 AM
Alright, with is not the word to start with, and ending is bad for the ending, perhaps then I'll find gerunial liking. But then I'm always telling. How's my spelling?
Re: Break by Torok	28-Jun-04/7:53 AM
Just a preachy thing that doesn't get at any of the problems you say "we" must solve.
Re: your best friend by New Life Drug	28-Jun-04/7:43 AM
Missing someone. Not very well told.
Re: a comment on Tough by Dovina	27-Jun-04/7:45 PM
Guess I need to clarify the time gap, the change in me, and another young guy with a tough air. Thanks.
Re: A story of recognition by DeadtotheWorld	26-Jun-04/4:28 PM
In spite of a dozen or more spelling and grammar problems, I think I got the point.
