Re: a comment on The Dark Poet by Dovina	28-Aug-07/2:59 PM
I'm in the dark because I choose to be. I revel the dark side of human nature, it is far more fascinating to me than the opposite; more complex, mysterious. The light is brighter because you can appreciate it more, it's a contrast to everything around you(i.e. a winning lotto ticket to a homeless man is far more significant/meaningful than it would be to a millionare).

Of course, I hate myself. Alright, my last name is Kott...I'm sure you can figure out my first name. I'm in the western michigan university network.

Well I've never had a dish of radiation I didn't like, so I'm not quite worried about that (vanilla uranium yellow cake is the BEST). Going down undah', eh? I'm sure that will be fun! I can't say I've attempted to watch cricket in a very long time and I've forgotten all the rules so I might not find it interesting if I did. I do have a facebook account, I tried to search for you but...I don't know your name, so that posed a minor problem. I did just friend request you on myspace, though I don't really use that very often. Try to find me on facebook, my name is my email address on my profile here.

Hello there old chum, how are you these days? I finally got a job, however its with the oil industry... which isnt necessarily a bad thing if you don't mind being pure evil, so it works! I might actually have to go to the motherland for training, which is exciting. Anywho, good to see you're still alive along with my reputation.

It is those who are in darkness that see light most clearly.

Awesome, I'll print this out and bring it with me to the bathroom in the morning. You know the cure for a hangover is smoking weed.

Thanks, I feel as though whenever I try to forget about rhyming is when I write my best work. Unfortunatley this does not happen that often. Thank you.

Perhaps I'm pessimistic(ha), but this is truely how I view/feel my life right now. However, I have always been self-loathing. Thanks.

Wouldn't this be considered a prose? Either way, pretty good stuff.
Re: husk [hai-crete] by lmp	21-Jun-07/1:54 PM
I usually hate this type of poem, but you did an excellent job!
Re: a comment on The One I Threw Back by drnick	21-Jun-07/9:50 AM
I know it makes things awkward, but that's God for you! I didn't mean it literally, I just wanted to convey the magnitude of the moment and thought this was the only way. It plays with the quasi-motif I have going: the scientist studying, breaking his objective intentions, finding God and running away. Glad you liked it.
Re: a comment on Resume by drnick	21-Jun-07/9:30 AM
I'm glad you caught/enjoyed that. It's more that I have no control over the feelings than that I don't care; quite frustrating. Also, no matter what happens the outcome is undesirable. I think I need some GHB more than I need good luck ;)
Re: F Log-On by Skamper	19-Jun-07/7:55 AM
Very funny...not that I can relate or anything.
Re: a comment on The One I Threw Back by drnick	19-Jun-07/7:52 AM
What about, "I've buried myself inside these mistakes"? I prefer the torment that hindsight can deliver others ;)
Re: Bonded by Skamper	17-Jun-07/6:59 PM
Dark and erotic, like your mother.
Re: Between two Truths by Dovina	16-Jun-07/12:34 PM
Well call me crazy, but I do like the fourth line; it's a good comparison because much like the colors of cars, the kind of church is a preference of what is basically all the same thing. Very nice!
Re: a comment on Resume by drnick	16-Jun-07/12:25 PM
This is about a friend I've liked for a long time and who has recently told me she feels the same towards me. Thus the first two lines. The "nitty" are my thoughts/feelings towards the question of "now what?" as we are both moving away in about a month and a half. Personally I'm trying not to get too involved because of the impending move, but I'm finding that very hard to do. It's a tricky situation that I'm handling horribly. Thanks for letting me unload this upon you, whether or not you care ;)
Re: Beslan by Ranger	8-Jun-07/1:22 PM
Flawless with an outsanding closing line. If you like that sort of thing. ;)
Re: a comment on Worn Ruse by drnick	1-May-07/10:36 AM
She's in a worn ruse that is acted by his mind. He doesn't see through it because it is a psychological disorder of some sort. I realize that I need to develop that thought so as the reader has a better understanding. Thank you!
Re: The Editor by Dovina	30-Apr-07/3:01 PM
I didn't like the comparison in line 6, but after seeing how you developed it I changed my mind. This is very well written, but I'm not sure what you mean by "My tone is altered by such poems." How is your tone altered, and why? It just doesn't seem to fit right there. Anyways, great job!
