Sometimes I look at poemranker and wonder how people, with whom I share nearly all of my DNA, can be so incredibly, astoundingly stupid. But then I realise that they probably have stupid-looking faces, and that explains it. I woke up in the wrong bed today.

You can tell that someone is cool and right when they talk about being laid!! Let's use the phrase "at least I have a life" a lot! The only thing worse than someone who thinks time since last sexual intercourse is really important is someone who thinks that and uses it as some sort of argument technique. Clearly, to you, being laid is so novel that you have to constantly try to bring the fact that you have had sex into every argument you have with someone on the 'internet', because, since they are on the internet and you have had sex, they are bu definition geekier and less cool than you. As for 'ransacking the site for one of your poems', all I did was click on your name, dorkburger. That's not ransacking.

1. Your attempt to be aloof is ridiculous. 2. 'Dorkburger' is obviously not supposed to be a hurtful or clever insult. 3. Of course this poeme is a 'joke'. 4. Are you trying to prove some sort of point by writing in the most 'mature' way you can? Because I think you're just making yourself look like someone who thinks writing in a brisk and mature and efficient way is a good thing to do. As for not being 'worthy', I never wanted to be worthy of your poetic appreciation. My poemes are not meant for people who think that poemranker exists for people to be supportive and compliment each other's poemes no matter how crap they are. I'm not quite sure why you think withdrawing your willingness to criticise my poemes is some sort of blow.

hamgurl, don't you realise that ironically saying 'have a nice day' at the end of an intended-to-be-hurtful comment isn't exactly a telling blow? It's been done to death, baby. As for not being a 'hater', you need to think about the difference between being a hater and simply avoiding wild overenthusiasm. This poem is crap. Nearly everyone with any experience in reading or writing poetry will tell you it is crap. But I don't hate it.

Re: brown is the eat feminine deoderant gross and stuff mmm styrofoam right? by skaskowski	11-Aug-02/9:59 PM
If this poem had a more "mature" title, like "Underwater Dreams of the Heart" it would be in the best section. It's vague, meaningless and sentimental enough.

"browns as long as a good man's forearm,/and the air stinks"... I suggest you clean up your act buddy, or there'll be hell to pay. Also, the Sterno-Hyroid is a thin, narrow, riband-like muscle, which arises from the inner extremity of the clavicle, and the upper and posterior part of the first piece of the sternum.

Well fuck me. You're the third person on this site to have a pseudonym ending in 'gurl' and write shitty love poetry.
Re: Day of Reckoning by Lenore	12-Aug-02/10:01 PM
I know it's tradition that when one of the 'real' poets on this site starts tossing off all over a poem, nobody else is allowed to say it's bad because otherwise they don't get it, but like what the fuck is so great about this one? It uses pseudo-olde language and vaguely rhymes and scans, and it expresses what I'm sure is a heart-felt emotion, but there's nothing worth mentioning in my opinion... this site is turning into poemwanker. first horus8 starts. then bachus, eager to be part of the 'let's go overboard being enthusiastic because then people will know we're real writers, we care about nothing but writing; that's our passion and we're of course completely unaware of the fact that we constantly go on about how it's our passion, because we're so absorbed in writing, and not the image, which is why we go on poemranker, not to get attention, but because some of the best poetry in the world is here' wagon, starts using sexual metaphor as a sort of coy but smug way of ladling out praise. Somewhere along the way usually 'razora' pipes up with her opinion, which will match horus8's. It's 10 times more insidious to tell people they're good when they're not to tell them they're crap when they're not.
Re: Day of Reckoning by Lenore	13-Aug-02/4:46 AM
a) I just did tell you what I really think. b) Your opinion of me is completely determined by the fact that I disagreed with horus8's over the top praise of your poem, so it's bull shit. People like you are what make the world such a frustrating place. You can't seem to make any distinction between whining and 'negative' comments in general. The world of opinions is divided up in two in your mind: 'whining' and 'positive comments'. Whining is what mean, bitter, unsatisfied people do, whereas positive comments are made by bright, smiling, cool, happy people. Presumably you would rather people just express nice, supportive thoughts and emotions, because then we would all feel good about ourselves! c) It's a sign of a great poet that he reacts to anti-praise of his poetry with an ad hominem attack.
Re: Innsmouth by razorgrin	13-Aug-02/5:44 AM
Bachus is right. I got the 'omnibus' of the first three books of the Titus Crow series at a discount bookshop and it was the worst mangling of Lovecraft I have ever seen. Actually I have read the first four books of the Necroscope series. I don't even know why. They're so fucking crap it's not funny. I actually paid for them and everything. At least I don't read Dean Koontz. Who was it that was saying they read Dean Koontz in an airplane? He is the worst popular 'horror' fiction writer ever to exist (even worse than Anne Rice, which I suppose I should give him credit for). -=Dark_Angel=-'s horror recommendation of the week is Santa Steps Out by Robert Devereaux. It's not actually horror, although it's marketed as horror. However, it is one of the best books in that style ever (except for the last few chapters, which are too cosy).

I think pete is an old man who lives in a blue shed on the outskirts of Utah and puts roadkill in vinegar for a hobby.
Re: Death Alive by crims0ngh0st	13-Aug-02/5:47 AM
I have to say I don't know what the fuck this is about. If it's about zombies, good. If it's about vampires, bad. The last thing this site needs is a load of fucking teenage goths adding their poetry to the pot. Actually, I take that back. That would be really funny.

I'm sorry to say that I did not break wind when I read this poeme. Your rude, childish nonsense is an affront to all the mature poetes here at http://www.poemranker.com.

Is this poem about Kurt Cobain? GOD DAMN IT NIRVANA FANS HE'S DEAD AND HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND YOU AND YOUR EMOTIONS LIKE NOBODY ELSE EVER COULD.
Re: Sansho-shima by spoink	13-Aug-02/5:56 AM
Yes. Yes...it's all falling into place. I think this poeme is quite good. However, no matter how many times I read it I still think it says 'break wind'. If it had been 'break wind', I probably would have fallen over and hurt myself in my delight. Just imagine...a fine afternoon, a date with one's best girl to break wind, and then she spoils it by telling you her troubles before the festivities can begin. The cheek!
