I cant find your comment about peoples like for their own poetry.... but it was quite true. My comment about the Wow! business on allpoetry.com was meant to depict that the feedback was generally useless, rather than everyone really likes it (in case that was the picture you got)
Re: a comment on Amber's Witness by cyan9	20-Nov-05/2:40 PM
All of the pieces that I have on this site were written in the last month or so, with the exception of Nail Biter and Haven that were written closer to the beginning of the year. I develop my styles as I go, and have been going for about 10 years and pretty much develop a different style each season. This style suits me well for public use, it is strong in imagery and lets the reader experience your journey without knowing where they have gone, and so is easier for me use on open mike.... I have a lot of different styles that I have utilised, and quite often left behind me. It will Wednesday before I can put anything else up; but I'll put up a couple from this series of pieces that describe an imaginary 'fiend' called Dr Herbert Cyan, its a bit darker and a lot more twisted than the usual; but it tells the story well.

I think I must of deleted the piece that you declared as being hard to rank, since it was from LaLa Land. I think you rated it 5 and argued with zodiac till he rated it 10 to negate your 5.
Re: a comment on Beneath the Willow Tree by cyan9	20-Nov-05/5:07 AM
No, but the only other people who seem to comment on this site are Alchemy and Dovina, so there weren't many oppurtunities between the arguements.
Re: a comment on Beneath the Willow Tree by cyan9	20-Nov-05/5:05 AM
I don't know, all is seem to get from allpoetry is: "Wow! Awesome imagery, liked the line..." "Nice Write" "Wow! Deep ......."
Re: leah by T. Jonathron Remp	20-Nov-05/2:26 AM
I am slightly confused here as to whether this is about retiring with someone or fire walking, or doing fire walking for someone... I cant believe somebody rated this a zero though. More clarity would have scored ayou a higher vote from me.
Re: a comment on Amber's Witness by cyan9	20-Nov-05/2:07 AM
A very good suggestion at that. I'd never come across that word before and it also would go in vein with the hint of narcotics that I was trying to add there. Its downside is that it takes out the rhyme from marks in the bark which speeds up the pace at that point. But I think I may use your suggestion and also bring the narcotic theme out a bit.
Re: Sonata for Robin and Poet by Dovina	19-Nov-05/4:14 PM
Excellent as this is, I still cant believe you tried to criticise me for writing something from LaLa land. The Salivating line and the concept of the piece are excellent, making for pleasurable, surreal, (though not bizarre) reading.

I don't want to cause offence, but this does suck.

Had to rate this lowly, you've shot yourself in the foot, the fingers, the face and the butt with that last line.
Re: dit da haiku by nentwined	18-Nov-05/8:44 AM
I cant vote here for something that I just dont understand. This could be pure genius or feculent drivel, I have no idea. An explanation would get you at least another vote from me.

You cant blame me for being paranoid.
Re: a comment on Haven by cyan9	17-Nov-05/9:03 AM
Not at all, there are many people who I respect but still question, my respect for your knowledge was lost earlier in the discourse and has been regained as we have moved on. When I find people on sites like this who I perceive as trying to be rude for the sake of it, I liken them to myself at 13, when I used to go to chat rooms and be rude for the sake of it (hence the "teenager" lines); I instantly lose respect, since this site is where people post poems where they pour out their hearts, and I believe it is not the place for unneccessary rudeness, rather for constructive criticism put in a considerate and well meaning way and balanced way. I am cynical to you because of the above, and being a poet, and likely an emotional person, you should know better.
Re: a comment on Haven by cyan9	17-Nov-05/8:21 AM
No, not until after I submitted the response. I geuss you were suggesting that if you said you were a famous poet, that might carry more weight; even famous poets can be wrong, and I wouldn't be able to know whether you were one. If you believe zodiac, and if I trusted your opinion, then it could take it one step closer to validity. I do have ESP, but I'm afraid its on my car not in my head (oh dear, I get worse the older I get).

Sorry to be an Ass, but quantum registers now exist, and can contain vastly more information per q-bit using the spin upon different atoms.
Re: a comment on Submission by Dovina	17-Nov-05/8:07 AM
You have succeeded in your ambition and your work. I would say however that the female/male divide is better put as an emotional/intellectual divide. Although this is an extreme generalisation: Men I believe are as emotional as women, but wear it beneath the surface. Women I believe are as intellectual as men, but wear it beneath the surface. On the face of it, it appears that men are unemotional and women emotional, but I think mans concealed emotion appears through his intellect in the form of ideals/morals (hopefully), I believe womans concealed intellect appears through her emotions in the form of concern (hopefully).
Re: a comment on Haven by cyan9	17-Nov-05/7:24 AM
What is wrong with ambiguity? ambiguity can lead you down multiple paths from one sentance (I see no fault in that). Goth/Dark is where I have come from, and am leaving since it no longer reflects my emotions most of the time (and is also somewhat childish). And grammerlessness (deliberate), well that is a bit of a fault, so suggestions rather than complaints would be welcome.
