Man you guys are getting darn good at this. I wasn't expecting anyone to pick up on the more subtle parts of the poem. Wow.

Do you sculpt alot?
Re: a comment on Penny Loafer Blues by ALChemy	1-Feb-06/6:06 AM
You should be an agent or an art dealer. You explain things better than I can. I think if you can make it work, changing the language in a poem instantly increases the attention of the reader. Thanks Ranger.

See I thought we were the duck and his poem was the lake. I think I understand now. It's really wabbit season.

Mwaahaahaaha!!
Re: Les Imagistes by Nicholas Jones	1-Feb-06/5:09 AM
Your proposed method seems less like a duck on a frozen lake and more like a duck shot by a Duck-shot shell.

Do you paint? More importantly, do you paint simply?

"My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun."-Shakespeare It's often in the little imperfections that we find the most unique beauty. Dyslexics aren't dim. Many are genuises. We think with images more than with language so we tend to be more artistic too. But I think you meant something like ironically dim.
Re: a comment on Penny Loafer Blues by ALChemy	31-Jan-06/4:04 PM
I see. I was trying to describe the images that form while you just lie there eyes closed staring into the inside of your eyelids, how light causes a faint orange-red glow and how like with clouds you start to make images out of them. In this case the face of my future dream wife. Good point though. I've certainly got some editing to do.
Re: a comment on The Book of Images by Dovina	31-Jan-06/3:56 PM
We would be assholes to disagree with you if you said, "This passage of The Bible means this to me." of course it does. It's when someone starts saying to us "this is what this passage means" that we start to argue differently. That's the point of imagery. To put you in the mindset of the artist. Being moved emotionally by the artwork is just a bonus. When a composer writes a march he inspires you to march not lifts your soul. When you see a McDonalds commercial you're inspired to eat greasy food not experiencing a life changing moment. So do your thing girl and I'll try to be less of a smartass in the future.

That's kinda what I've always meant about finding the spirit of God in the Bible(through images and emotional effects) and not just reading the words but the spirit of the words. That's the only place I think you might find the true word of God.

A man tries to take the path of life his father took. He dicovers that that's not quite the path for him. So he sets off to make his own path but admits he's gotten used to his father's. What language would fit the piece? I used two.

And you were compelled to write about this why?
Re: The Book of Images by Dovina	31-Jan-06/2:56 PM
I would rather you work these images into a story or into something about yourself than just list them. You could have shown how the images reflect off each other. Like Abraham seeing the ram with his head stuck in the thicket and Christ with his crown of thorns. It was still well worth the read though.

Right. I dodged that bullet a couple of years ago.

Something akin to Torch Song Trilogy me think. Nice meloncholy.

At first I thought he was in a submarine. The whale and the name Zeppelin('cause they're shaped like a sub) is what led me to go there. But by the end I was pretty sure he was in prison. It really expresses well the loneliness of emprisonment from both points of view. Good job.
