No, you're right. INTRANSIT posted the poem, but the comments are by an imposter. Good call.

Hou could it be wanker? All the old poems are INTRANSIT's.

The 40 is redundant. Yes, I could do that - thanks.

Ambiguity is good for the guts - a proverb of Dovina. Let be written on stone.

I am persecuted by a cruel society that has removed me from Second Grade.

Did that. It's our usually good-natured friend.

I agreed. Intransit is having a bad day it seems.

No sarcasm intneded, no bitterness either. Remorce should not lead to appology unless the appology serves a useful purpose. I have appologized when I had no remorse, when I thought I was entirely right.
Re: Twenty-Some Years and Five Countries Away by drnick	13-Feb-06/8:35 PM
For appoalog, there need not be regret. In fact, regret is a bad reason for appology. Appology should be used for manipulation. Some people, and I'll mention no poemranker usernames, fail to apply it where advantage could attend its use.

"Thou shalt not wizz on the electric fence" is found in no code of morality that I know of. Speaking the mind of a real person writing such codes, with whom I have no personal affiliation or anatomy conducive to experimentation in the act, I would certainly not stamp my great influence on a command having its own built-in punishment for sin.

The deer is caught offguard by headlights that are fearful and confusing. But really they complacently shine as directed and are in themselves no threat. Maybe I'm way off, but I think it's a nice image.

Did you consider the five "poems" posted just prior, and decide even a drunken driver off an 8% corkscrew with a set of doubles parked outside can do better on five minutes of kiosk time? The "deer" analogy starts off well, and I wish you'd drove in on through. But when the road is not on the map and then gets wordily into "It is something to negotiate, well, I says, "deer have pretty good sense." And is "my" really needed that often? I'm no Gimmy-driver, but I'm trying to visualize brake lights in mirrors. "Trees flicking my antenna" is deer-like and descriptive though. "Splitting hairs and splitting gears" is good. Consider the deer, don't be queer. Yeah, I'm doin' no better.

Re: A Soldiers Story by Glasseyez	13-Feb-06/1:42 PM
Not bad as a poem, but I think you could write it better as a story.

So many images put together - seamstress, makup artist, lover - all with viewpoints and imaginations. But it works well. My sister is a seamstress, and she dresses herself.
