Ha ha ha.... thanks Alchemy. That would be nice. If only somebody could help me! It's a wonder they tolerate my stuff here. Ha ha ha... I've made huge posters and stuck it on the walls, and they are forced to look at it. Bet they wd be happy to get rid of me for this reason if nothing else.

Alchemy, I refrain from voting here. Sorry, this glossa doesn't appeal me. I do not find it touchy or inspiring.
Re: a comment on Goa by amanda_dcosta	17-May-06/12:34 PM
OOOps.... I've been making mistakes again. I mean it's good to hear.
Re: a comment on Goa by amanda_dcosta	17-May-06/12:32 PM
Thanks AL. Hmmmm. So you think it's one ogf my best? That's god to hear. :-). Recently I haven't been writing much and it's nice to see a couple of tens to make up for it. I presume you could say that there was a lot of emotion in what I wrote. I wrote it on MS Word and it has automatic caps each line. I didn't have the patience to check it last night when I wrote it. There's quite a lot of caps unnecessarily. Sorry about that. I may not write for quite a while, and even if I do, I might post more only after I settle down in Cochin, down south 780 km. from Goa.

Thanks Dovina. Not very convincing critisism, nonetheless I take it into consideration.

I'll send a couple of them to your e.mail add.

Thank you Paul. I really appreciate the time you take to read my poems.

Thank you.

Niphredil, thankyou. The setting is actually from my painting. The boat was either way stationary (as in the picture), and time stood still is to indicate that I could view the picture for all the time in the world without expecting it to change. Thought I'd give you an insight ino what started it all. Altogether, my poem's better than my painting. More like expressing it in words, what I couldn't achieve through paint.

Thankyou. It's nice to know my work is appreciated.
Re: The Bleeding Rose by BleedingRose	15-May-06/11:10 PM
Bleeding Rose, there are quite contridictory ideas coming through. MAybe , you should edit it to either a love mood or to a hate mood. By you mixing the two, we are not sure what you want to emphasise on. Being specific gives you additional points. And I really wonder who this jerk is, going around giving a zero to all your poems. Maybe he needs a double dose of his own medicine.
Re: a comment on Forgiveness by Niphredil	15-May-06/11:02 PM
Dovina, I'd rather say that, first of all, most people don't ask for forgiveness, or don't want to admit their wrong and sorry. Doing this is a noble act of courage and love. Niphredil, this is a lovely poem, and I esp like the third verse...'Struggling against each other; strangling each other, Till nothing more was left but a dull throbbing void.' You have quite a few good phrases here. Good work!
Re: Cat Feet by Niphredil	15-May-06/10:52 PM
Ha ha ha. This is what I think you would call selective deafness and being paranoid at the same time. Ah yes, scrolling down, I see that my impression has already been impressed upon by others. This is lovely. I wonder how many of us fit into this category. You ofcourse, have qualified.
Re: After Rain by Niphredil	15-May-06/10:43 PM
Lovely. I just have a vague idea of what a sonnetis especially the rhyming scheme, which I think you have stuck to, and apart from that, the content is good. I especially liked the third verse, the line...'A holocaust of car exhaust as brutal boots crashed down'.
Re: Nightfall by Niphredil	15-May-06/10:31 PM
I think this is well written and I especially like the last lines of each stanza, esp. the repetitions.
Re: a comment on The Prodigal Daughter by Dovina	15-May-06/10:23 PM
Edna, I think you aught to give a bit of consideration to the content of the poem, and the depth of emotion related to it, rather than only to nit-picking punctuations.
Re: The Prodigal Daughter by Dovina	15-May-06/10:19 PM
Very heartfelt and beautiful. I'd like it too if there was enough punctuation. And the partial rhyme scheme is distracting. Nevertheless, I think you deserve nothing less than an 8.
Re: Cupid Missed Two Junkies (slightly clearer, rambling draft) by Ranger	15-May-06/10:08 PM
Hi Ranger, truthfully, I still don't get what your poem is about. Having a rough idea is not enough. Sorry to disappoint. I refrain from voting.
Re: a comment on A Snap Shot by amanda_dcosta	15-May-06/9:57 PM
I know what you are trying to say Al. And I know it isn't my best. But when words flow like this one, I believe that it doesn't necessarily have to be my best, and hence I post it. Like everybody else, I too face what is 'writer's block' and am so distracted at the moment as I'm going through my next phase of life.... have to shift from here,where I really love being. Packing up is hard. Maybe I should write some thing about it. May be.
