Yes and no. When I look for the ass/all modes I find and hear them. When I don't, It sounds like a negative book/movie review. Probably the most strange combination I've seen to date.

Yes. We had a cat named Joe. Nicknamed him Giuseppe.

mostly normal stuff. Stealing Dr. Hook is worth goin' after him for.

If this is you, then back off from poetry for a while. If not, then crank out another one.
Re: Letter from Palermo by Caducus	23-Aug-05/6:08 AM
Jeez, Cad. Why do I get the feeling that Giuseppe and Grand Papa are different men? Good morning? Good evening?

This suggests I tried too hard on that last and only sonnet of mine. Fine by me.

Re: Pity Her by Dovina	22-Aug-05/5:21 PM
Not sure I should. Don't know why she's upset, exactly.

Um, this is actually a little old but I went ahead with Shoeis' suggestions because I'm beating myself about the pate deciding how important music is to my poetry. Deep inside, I'm a believer, no matter what the world thinks. Thanks.
Re: a comment on No More Autumn Poems (Edit) by Sasha	22-Aug-05/9:56 AM
I find myself leaning toward Mr. Pound whenever he suggests poetry MUST have music, to be true poetry. The one thing I keep coming back to is the lack of music in most of my poems. I think that it is the ONE thing keeping me from growing. Any time I DO have music, it seems forced. Maybe I should study music for a while, no? Thanks for your time.
Re: a comment on No More Autumn Poems (Edit) by Sasha	22-Aug-05/9:35 AM
A question for you and Sasha. Is it possible to write good, even great poetry without lyricism or music? Just for my own knowledge.
Re: American Semele (Edit) by Sasha	21-Aug-05/10:48 AM
Something's wrong in the last stanza. i'm no grammmarian but it just doesn't make sense to me. Sorry I can't help more than that.
Re: Salvatore Quasimodo: Agrigentum Road by Sasha	21-Aug-05/9:21 AM
In order to understand poetry more , may I ask: What is the purpose of translating a poem which has been translated probably more than once? In the meantime, it pleases my ears and thanks for introducing me to ANOTHER poet whom I shall probaly never understand were it not for translations. Voting in this case seems futile without being able to read Italian. 10

See "Amputee" it's basically this poems predecessor.

For the first time in a long time here at p/r, I'm hurt. Serves me right for writing poetry. . . . .full stop

it's resonating in my subconcious, but that is all at the moment.
Re: The Servant and The Messenger by ALChemy	19-Aug-05/7:37 AM
Aside from the rogue period at the end of the Unsheathed line, it sounds good to go.
Re: a comment on Words by Dovina	18-Aug-05/11:37 AM
word. no, ha! the end of the first line in s-2 I don't think you need it. I used to love block when I was little. still am. still do. Basement full o legos.
Re: a comment on How Angels Sleep by Dovina	18-Aug-05/11:32 AM
Submissive was the wrong word. Indirect might be a better word. Nevermind. I read it with VOLUME this time and heard the beat in all stanzas. bravo.
Re: a comment on Looking for someone by INTRANSIT	18-Aug-05/11:28 AM
yah. I really wanted this to have more but it came on strong and then petered out on me I hate it when that happens.
