Are you going to admit you were wrong or not? An Gentleman would.

Re: While cleaning the aviary by Jeremi B. Handrinos	29-May-03/11:40 AM
---Black bile oozed between Grandfather's lips, and dripped onto the attendant's bloated abdomen. The drip became a trickle, which became a steady stream, and soon he was vomiting a thick torrent of the shining liquid. ---Where it touched the attendant, it boiled and frothed and formed a sickly lather, and as it bubbled it ate away at the flesh. The skin on the man's stomach was becoming liquid and starting to slide around. Beads of blood sprang up where the upper layer had been completely dissolved. ---Grandfather's head lolled forward, and underneath his bushy, flaking eyebrows, his blind eyes rolled insanely. With a sudden fluid movement of his arm, he unhooked the straight razor from its holster and flipped out the dull blade. It was just as he remembered. ---His obscenely gnarled hands trembled, and his breath was rapid. Grandfather hunched over the attendant, reaching out and stroking the places that had been prepared by the mucus. His jaw still hung slightly open as he bent down for a closer view... ---And Grandfather began to shave.
Re: Suicide by Alyssa91	29-May-03/8:32 AM
Suicide certainly is an important issue, and one that people are often too afraid to confront in their poetry. For how much longer can modern society function under the pretense that suicide doesn't exist; that people are incapable of taking their own lives; that depression and anxiety aren't becoming increasingly prevalent on today's troubled streets? Time and time again these issues are brought to the forefront of the modern agenda, whether it be through the media, or simply a recent News, and time and time again we're all to eager to dismiss these warning signs under meaningless slogans such as "Drugs", "Prositution", "Suicide", or even "Aborted Foetuses". I found your poeme refreshing, given the current climate of apathy that seems to be raining down on the very face of modern society. You haven't shied away from the issue of suicide, but have tackled it face on in a mature and sensible way. You've dealt particularly well with the fact that following a suicide, the person who has committed the suicide, rather than being alive, is now dead. I think that's something we should ALL be thinking about, let alone those who are actually considering suicide as a way out because they have been taking too many drugs. Thank you for your time, Alyssa91. And thank YOU for this poeme. -4-

It's funny because: 1. It's an absurd thing to boast about. 2. The title of this poem was false until it was submitted, at which time it became true. That isn't so amazing, because many self-referential poems could do it, but this one does it a) indirectly b) through a contingent feature of the site. 3. It sounds like it's by Settle.

Did you think the phrase "dis[s] and dismiss" meant "dismiss and dismiss"?
Re: a comment on E tu trabajo el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}>	28-May-03/4:01 PM
I do beg your pardon. I meant, of course, the old jew on whose face you come.
Re: a comment on At the end of the Day by -vz18-	28-May-03/3:57 PM
I think you'll find it is a contraction of "disrespected".
Re: a comment on Obsequies by horus8	28-May-03/3:40 PM
There's a fine line between "clever insult" and "meaningless obscenity" which you don't seem to quite have the hang of.
Re: a comment on Obsequies by horus8	28-May-03/3:39 PM
don't you mean the "enaml"
Re: E tu trabajo el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}>	28-May-03/3:39 PM
Write a poeme about the old jew who comes on your face.

Hi Journey! I think it's great that your entire life is consumed by an obsession with your daughter! I also enjoy your "unique" interpretation of "stronger"!
