Thank you, Ranger. I believe there should be more written on the subject of quantum mechanics but it is inherently difficult to write about. Einstein said imagination is more important than intellect so that should open up poetic possibilities beyond my often feeble attempts.
Re: Pedaling West by Dovina	13-Mar-07/1:22 PM
Good poem. It has a nice flow and the "ride" is one of life itself expressed through riding your bike. I really do like this and the message it contains.

Thank you.

Interesting comment regarding the "conveyor belt." The warming of the earth causing the breakdown of these natural currents which, paradoxically, leads to an overall cooling event. Kind of damned if you do and damned if you don't. Regardless, we are in big trouble with little or no acknowledgement by our president and the multi-national corporations which are in control. Profit at any price and damn the coonsequences mentality. Go Gore! Oh, almost forgot. Great poem.
Re: The Medium of Dunce by Ranger	6-Mar-07/12:30 PM
Damn, this is good! I like the rhyme scheme which is unforced and adds to the read and flow. How about a 10 plus.
Re: Quantum Reality by Quarton	6-Mar-07/11:37 AM
Dovina--Yeah, it does wander but so does my mind. It also wonders in regard to science, cosmology and quantum mechanics. Rather esoteric stuff and I suspect even the theoretical physicists are unable to unerstand on an intellectual level. Ineffable is descriptive of this enigma. Regardless, we are all connected despite the illusion of separateness.
Re: Quantum Reality by Quarton	6-Mar-07/11:20 AM
Thanks for the comments. I love Vonnegut and the movie version of Slaughterhouse Five is one of my favorites. It is a "must see" in my opinion and is almost a cult movie as Billy Pilgrim becomes unstuck in time. I am curious. What is the other half? Also, your post was deleted and I am not sure why. Any suggestions as this has happened several times?
Re: a comment on Captured by Dovina	27-Feb-07/10:44 AM
An excellent poem despite the criticism. It does have an erotic "flavor" in my opinion but the overall message for me is of a lesser, more platonic relationship and I believe that was your intent.
Re: a comment on Firestorm by Dovina	27-Feb-07/10:24 AM
The imagery and flow is excellent. Can't believe you got a zero as this is one of the better poems I have read on poemranker. Cynicism is alive and well and for some, "it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."
Re: a comment on Celui by half.italian	26-Feb-07/4:37 PM
Good poem. One thing concerning the word "intent." You use it twice in the last two stanzas and perhaps "Our purpose is to be one" might work better. Or any word with like meaning.

Thanks for the read and comments.
Re: A Part of Me by Quarton	8-Feb-07/1:07 PM
Ranger, you are probably right but the whole Cartesian mind-set seems to be fair game though rather abstract which makes for a difficult subject to write about. Thanks for the read and comments.
Re: a comment on Light by Quarton	21-Sep-05/9:53 AM
Thanks for the read. I changed mammouth to giant and it is a glowfly, not a gladfly which I somehow bungled. Also changed explode to implode which is what a supernova does prior to becoming a black hole.
Re: Nowhere Land by Caducus	21-Sep-05/9:08 AM
I am a bit confused by parts of this but overall, I found myself liking it. And it is up to the reader to interpret your meaning.
Re: The Scout by wilco	20-Sep-05/1:23 PM
Forgot to mention one minor thing. "as the wolves retake the land." seems slightly out of rhythm and a possible change might be, "as wolves retake the barren land." Just a thought and the piece is great as is.
Re: The Scout by wilco	20-Sep-05/1:13 PM
Very good. The piece reads easy and with good rhythm. It has a certain poignancy which I liked.
Re: a comment on Creation by Quarton	20-Sep-05/1:03 PM
Not to worry. Your distinction between organic evolution and inorganic evolution are right on. So put tht that gun down!
Re: Out of a White Hole by ALChemy	20-Sep-05/11:03 AM
Really good writing. I write a fair amount on quantum physics as it is on the cutting edge of reality tho most people aren't familiar with the subject. You express yourself and your concepts quite well. Also, one of the few to put these concepts into poetic form, not an easy task when dealing with the abstract and esoteric. Keep it up. Oh yeah, a ten.
Re: Night Shift by ALChemy	20-Sep-05/10:50 AM
Neat poem. Some great lines buy perhaps a bit wordy in some parts as Dovina mentioned. A solid nine.
Re: Divorcing Tennessee by Dovina	17-Sep-05/8:13 PM
A good narrative poem that tells a story. Tennessee is a beautiful state and probably more laid back than most. This is indicated by your poem.
