YES USING A CIGARETTE BUTT IN A POEME HOW POIGNANT. WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT OUR CULTURE AND URBAN LIFE?
Re: The lack of graffiti in an art centre lavatory by BEBO	16-Sep-02/11:38 AM
You, Sir, are an insult to the hallowed ranks of poemes making reference to faeces. You use foul words like 'fart' and 'plopp' as if to say "POO IS FUNNY LOOK IT'S GROSS HA HA". Do you have no artistic wision? No sense of the grand and mysterious? If my poemes are the sound of a frantic, frighten'd orchestra (which they are), yours are that of a broken whistle blown by a hobo in a feeble attempt to summon a djinn. Good day.

dougsoderstrom, the amazing genericity of your opinions is exceeded only by their length.

Oh, Soylum. It's OK to be jealous of me! You should stop trying to rationalise your bitterness and just let the tears of shame flow. For it is you who is the one who does not see.

I have to say that 'Far from the madding crowd' is perhaps the most tedious, boring, long, boring, long, tedious piece of writing I have ever been forced to read.

Re: America the Beautiful? by pink_punk_kisses87	13-Sep-02/3:15 PM
Yes! This is it! This is the most profound, beautiful, profound comment on America's society today that I have ever seen! How did you think of it, pink_punk_kisses87? It's such a through-and-through masterpiece that I hardly know where to begin... The title itself is sheer genius. Just imagine -- taking a popular catchphrase, "America the beautiful", and putting a question mark at the end!!! What better way to simultaneously subvert the reader's expectations and set the introspective, questioning tone for the rest of the piece?? Brilliant! Now, before I continue, let me tell you that usually I have no sympathy for poemes that deal with "issues". But you have managed to capture the essence of suffering and needless brutality in a way that I had scarcely dreamt of! All the images -- so cliched, yet in your incredible hands, so fresh! A beaten woman - a hungry child - drugs - bereavement - depression - lost love. These, yes, these are the issues of the times. Oh wait, sorry. For a minute there I thought your poeme was good.

Frass...oh, Frass. The harder you gallop up the stairs of erudition, the more easily the peasants can see you sweat.

Re: a comment on Epitome of Pathetic by royalflesh	12-Sep-02/8:59 PM
Why take it as a compliment? Did you think I meant it as one, or do you think there is something good about reading too many lyrics?
Re: a comment on Mermaid at Dawn by <~>	12-Sep-02/8:56 PM
The more someone desperately tries to sound "aloof" and "witty", the more they clearly do care. And you, Frass, are sounding suspiciously "aloof" and "witty". I hope I never turn into the sort of person who uses phrases like "your very common brand of empty vitriol simply doesn't rate or raise a rankle with me". You know it's BS, I know it's BS, and poetandknowit knows it's BS. Why not save everyone the trouble and just admit that he pisses you off?
Re: a comment on Life's Great Irony by Tascobar	12-Sep-02/11:57 AM
Aren't we allowed to label a poeme as being of a particular form but then subvert that form? Next you'll be threatening to remove haiku status from any poeme that doesn't talk about nature and contain two contrasting images. Pffft.
