You've got it. This pretty much means exactly what you've taken from it. •°•Gregory James•°•
Re: To Orange by Lifeboatman	28-Dec-04/7:35 AM
I really like the idea of what's being communicated in this poem. Though I think the title has gone over my head, and the word "proprietorship" mocks the rest of the words with its bulbous enunciation. All the other ones rolls so beautifully off my tongue but that one word kind of just... died. But still I enjoyed coming across this poemette, it whipped up a nice little smile across my face. •°•Gregory James•°•

Ah yes... but it's that whole ever-present concept of "people" that the speaker of this poem wants so desperately to get away from. Validation from the masses is the last thing this poem needs. :D

cute.

I like Society Disguised. Good suggestion.

And besides, it's not actually "society's" lies that the poem is talking about, it about my own lies of how I disguise society in my mind. •°•Gregory James•°•

I like the sound of it the way I put it. But then again, I'm a sucker for a good silly rhyme any day of the week. :D

Now there's a one-word-response we could all use a little bit more of. •°•Truly Amused•°•
Re: Religious Slaughter by Beyond_Dreams	20-Dec-04/10:29 PM
Overall an intereting take on what so many have such a powerful position of opinion in. I liked the second and third stanzas best, but don't think I'd try and change anything about the others. The imagery is too strong to risk altering in even the slightest way. •°•Gregory James•°•
Re: a comment on Interstellar Hell by PsydewaysTears	20-Dec-04/4:22 PM
Well I'll always be here for clarification, and it doesn't hurt my feelings to have to start up a few hundred writer-reader relationships. I'm actually honored to have my opinion sought after and maybe even, god forbid, valued. But I also wouldn't dream of stealing away any conclusions somebody might draw up for themselves, to me the magic poetry creates is relative to mind open enough to make its message their own. •°•Gregory James•°•
Re: a comment on Interstellar Hell by PsydewaysTears	20-Dec-04/3:37 PM
My stab at this would be something along the lines of, "I'm living my life thinking I have control over my emotions and that I can just black out the parts that depress me and then that's that, but eventually enough becomes enough and the ulterior world I've created to live in kicks me out and I'm forced to actually confront reality like it actually does effect me." I like it, because to me... it makes worlds of sense in more ways than one. •°•Gregory James•°•
Re: a comment on Death by Liquid by PsydewaysTears	19-Dec-04/2:13 PM
The "you" of this poem could be any person taken aside or singled out, but the "she" of this poem is the voice of political correctness or societal peer pressure... it's basically a mess of anger that got directed at at nobody and nothing in particular. I personally'd like to think that the suididal portions are meant more like a social suicide than an actual one. Thanks for an honest reaction! •°•Gregory James•°•
Re: A Better God by Dovina	19-Dec-04/12:05 AM
I like this. A strong religious statement that's good both on a personal and universal level. Not too over-told or sidetracked, the focus is exactly where it should be. Lines thirteen and fourteen spoke most loudly to me, but it's altogether a worthwhile read. •°•Gregory James•°•
Re: Math Poem by Dovina	18-Dec-04/10:00 PM
The ending captured my interest, but I was lucky to make it that far. I think that with an added beginning this might have accomplished just the right amount of balance and captivation. •°•Gregory James•°•

Over the top wonderment, deeply moving and full of evocative images. An easy favorite... memorable to the last drop. •°•Gregory James•°•
