Spiders :)

As with all my poems, it's mine unless and until someone points out that it isn't.

You peraps haven't noticed the comment a few inches up that makes mention of my plagiarising.

replying on Down on Dogs by Bobjim 15 Feb 2006, 6:42 AM

You perhaps haven't noticed, but this is a really old poem. I'm not trying to do anything with it.

As I said above, I actually started with the title.
And I agree with you, I never thought this one was much good. I just couldn't get the wording right.

Thanks for the warning. I wasn't going to buy it anyway.

It's not actually Christian.
And it's being published by Poetry.com in a book called Eternal Portraits.

Do your worst. I'm ready for you.

I thought I'd better resubmit this poem since it's now being published and got me nominated for a Best Poet Award. Just so I could show-off. :D

This is an amazing poem. Hope this isn't based on a true story.

I hope that was actually as much in support of the poem as it sounded.

replying on The burden of faith by Bobjim 22 Aug 2005, 2:02 AM

Actually, the poem never even mentions anything specifically Biblical, so how can you declare it to be about Old Testament. Especially when I then use the disciples to in my argument for the poem, the disciples who are very much New Testament.

How do you mean tighter?

replying on Take heart, you are closer than you know by Bobjim 22 Aug 2005, 1:52 AM

I actually started with the title and wrote the poem around it. There are three other variations but I thought this was the best.

Thanks.

You're more than welcome. I'm glad the poem meant so much to you, even if it wasn't in the way I intended.

on Home by Bethy 18 Aug 2005, 7:12 AM

Last few lines don't seem to fit as well as the rest, particularly the penultimate. Seems to me like "She'd do anything" would work better, but it's your poem.
And I still give you a -9-

Fantastic. A privilege to read. -10- and favourite.
