Most people go to these far off places in search of adventure. You just seem to get Forest Gumped into them. Lucky for you, you're a writer.

Sometimes man, you just plain old scare me.

I don't think it really matters that much as long as their not bothering me. Whatever floats their boat. Maybe we should just start typing "The last word" back and forth until one of us gives up. This brain-fencing can be exhausting.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	5-Jan-06/9:36 AM
Thank you too. I think my favorite type of response is one filled with adjectives. I'll try to take a look at more of your poems but I work nights so I've got to get some shut-eye right now.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	5-Jan-06/8:18 AM
Yep, you got it. I was inspired by my niece. I work the nightshift and I miss alot of chances to spend time with her. Thanks Joe.

No I meant "don" as a verb. As in "I donned a fancy suit for my date." Although Marlin Brando lived on an island so he might have donned a sarong.
Re: a comment on Sunlighting by ALChemy	5-Jan-06/5:30 AM
Thanks. It's rare for most people to say things that sound original and yet you seem to have a knack for it. That's where I think I envy you most. I actually misspelled "Don" as "Dawn" but I'm not quite sure which one works better now. What do you think?
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/6:17 PM
Personally I embrace contradictions. It's helps you get along with people better.

But when your imagination exceeds your ability it can be a depressing. Rodin's sculpture "The Thinker" is about that.

Hah! Once again it seems we posted poems on simular subjects. See, God does speak to us. And by God I mean TV. Witty stuff.
Re: Goodbye Sad Door by woodstock20000	4-Jan-06/5:58 PM
Could have many different meanings. I kind of wish it was a little bit more specific as it sounds pretty personal. End it sad or happy or hopeful. Which ever way you like. It still sounds good.
Re: Claim to Call by MacFrantic	4-Jan-06/5:51 PM
The fragmented sentences don't seem to work for this. The last half of the poem is great.
Re: Half Hearted by elderking	4-Jan-06/5:41 PM
The flow is too marching band-like for a love poem. Don't be afraid to bleed one line into the other by continuing the sentence or changing the meter slightly to slow or quicken the pace for added effect. Maybe something like this: Those half hearted chances at loving once more in half tried romances leave me wanting for impassioned embraces. But allowed just so close. My loving heart races, while ours reach "almost". These pleasures, half tasted, amount to as much as kisses wasted, and hearts untouched.

You forgot to describe yourself as like a niggard with money and a wet back when working.

Lose the "The". Nice Haiku.
Re: Shut Me Up by D. $ Fontera	4-Jan-06/3:53 PM
It's perfect in a plain and ordinary kind of way.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/3:27 PM
I've already admitted that I'm a bit of a contradiction. That's my conundrum.
Re: a comment on The Forgetting by Dovina	4-Jan-06/3:24 PM
Some words just never look right to me unless I spell them wrong. "their" is another one. I always want to spell it as "thier". It's not that I see words backwords or jumbled anymore. I just sometimes remember them mixed up. So reading isn't hard for me although it's probably a little slower but writing is a bit harder. One of the reasons I started writing poetry was for practice.
