I read a couple of them. His voice seems so different, and I've never gotten the hang of that bad ass rhyme he said I have in me.

Was he a Withering Rose?

No, really, I just ran accross it. You can delete these comments if you have some riddle, and it's coming out too soon. I really don't know Imago.

I like the Judas tree reference. The name derives from the tradition that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from this tree, and when it's in bloom, it blushes with shame every year.

Imago and Poe must be a couple of your favorites.

May I ask why there are two votes from your IP, a 4 and an 8?

By Job you’re right – 200! I hadn’t noticed. I’m sick, really sick! When Shuushin posted his hundredth, he called it Centennial Man. How about Withered Old Woman?

The word "bored" spoils it. The last sentence can go, I think - leaves it more mysterious. Klar-ed???

Not having a research team to provide all references to my chosen subject, catalogued and outloined, I must stick to other known things.

I thought you meant Gray's Anatomy.

I waive my rights - tunic and cloak – simplistic and cliché. Whoever wrote those words had a grip on what matters. A descent poem.
Re: a comment on An Understanding Woman by Dovina	6-Feb-06/11:52 AM
I did.
Re: a comment on An Understanding Woman by Dovina	6-Feb-06/11:51 AM
Yes, you can tell from how Grey uses words like “entrails” and “the thing burst”
Re: a comment on An Understanding Woman by Dovina	6-Feb-06/11:49 AM
Sounds like you’ve never been personally involved, judging from the word “quite.”
Re: a comment on An Understanding Woman by Dovina	6-Feb-06/11:48 AM
Or with negligence, malfeasance, or inattention. But what really gets to her is his lying about it. Men are like doctors who must never intimate that they are at fault, lest the confession wind up in court as damning evidence in a black-and-white-morality tale. At most they might say, “I’m sorry that things didn’t go as well as we had hoped.” The tort system makes adversaries of patient and physician, man and woman, and pushes each to offer heavily slanted versions of events.

A good outline for a poem, though a very common one. Practice unusual ways of saying it. Look for underlying truths, lies, beliefs that hinder your goals.
Re: can you sing me a song by richa	5-Feb-06/3:38 PM
Why is it sad that the joyful reader cannot sing sweetest of all? It's too much to ask, so you must mean something else. To be a joyful reader is not wanton, unless you mean unproductive in the field of things read, like an appreciator of Tolstoy, for example. But I see no fault in that.

We were discussing the NIV and its reliability as a translation. Also, we were talking about who the writer claims to be. You've raised another interesting subject, perhaps better left to another thread.

Funny. The first line is wordy.
Re: I'm there by amanda_dcosta	4-Feb-06/7:58 AM
If you are like one of the sheep in Ps. 23, then I think stiking closer to that image would help. The last line and the "restful waters" line are there, but the "love never . . ." line is from Paul. On the other hand, it's pretty hard to write it better than David did.
