Oh right, yeah, I'm thinking of changing it back. I'm not sure. I'll mull it over whn I'm not at work. Yes, it was inspired by the shallow conversations overheard in this office.

Did you? Do you like it? Your vote hasn't come up for some reason.
Re: Shy, quiet by Ranger	12-May-06/5:17 AM
Here it is...the long awaited comment. Sorry I've been a bit lazy recently! I read this through a couple of time and really enjoyed it. At first I wasn't sure what you were getting at and then I thought about the title and the idea of 'cagie''lightening' and allowed the pace to sweep me along and a picture emerged. Clever and makes you feel slightly dizzy to read which captures the feeling of an encompassing shyness and paranoia.

Ahh, another philosopher! Excellent! I shall read your work with interest.
Re: a comment on Invasion by Roisin	11-May-06/6:27 AM
Thanks for your advice. I am glad you understood the 'contradiction' part, I hadn't thought it was that hard to see! I shall take your comments into consideration when I redraft. Cheers!

Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	25-Jun-05/8:12 PM
What matter? Are there other books except dictionaries? Perhaps you could throw a couple my way (preferably not in the face or groinal area)
Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	25-Jun-05/5:19 AM
Hmmm...how can I be sure of your age? Or in fact your gender? This internet business makes it impossible to prove either (except maybe by web cam) but even then there are no certaintys. How strange the world has become... this argument, be it amusing has no place in the real world. Face to face it, I am 22 and a female and not lonely...maybe think too much and am a little unemployed and hedonistic at present with a slightly messy love life but a pedar, I think not. (I am now dribbling though at the possibility that you buy into my deception and will continue to give me masturbatory fodder)
Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	25-Jun-05/5:11 AM
A pederest is defined as a male. If you would like to accuse me of being a kiddy fiddler then consult the dictionary once again.
Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	24-Jun-05/7:17 PM
Well, I'm female so definately not a pederest...Why do you think I may be making a sexual play for you...perhaps spurred on by your seductive word play. I am not lonely, maybe bitter but not because of 'poemranker.com'. I am not attempting to be bigger than myself and do not see how you can accuse me of such a thing- explain as you will? I am either as big as I appear or wrong- I allow you to disagree with any logical fallacies within my argument but slander of this type is meaningless. (Yes I hope I am self-possessed-blimey if I was possessed by any other being I may have cause to worry).
Re: a comment on Last Night by Roisin	24-Jun-05/7:11 PM
In England a 'jumper' is defined as "A sweater or pullover".
Re: a comment on Last Night by Roisin	24-Jun-05/7:27 AM
A jumper is the english word for sweater (we sweat less perhaps due to our climate or lower levels of obesity)
Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	24-Jun-05/5:49 AM
I apologise that I mispelt a word- us humans slip up on the odd occasion...thank you your grace for allowing me to see the error of my ways. I do not however agree on what you say concerning my use of the word. Egotistical describes someone who has a high concern for his own needs or an excessively high view of himself. A megl(A)maniac is someone who is similar but the definition also entails the attempted lowering down of other people in pursuit of gain (be it material or other). Like the difference between standing upon a rock to see over a wall and using two peoples heads to hoik yourself up with. Do you see the difference now or is it all too much for you to comprehend that there may be a subtle but crucial difference between two words? As for your definition I don't know which internet site you got it from but as fas as I know it is not a psychopathological condition which would mean that the person does not comprehend any form of morality of sense of empathy, it could not possibly be for the conditions would be mutually exclusive. In order to crave power you must be able to equate with other human beings in order to wish to be up a level from them. It is actually a psychological condition. Maybe you are guilty of a mistake of your own...who knows? Thank you for sparing me from your ultimate insult for so long, that last arrow in your quiver that was sure to ruin me. I SUCK... Oh shit...please let the grand sea rise and swallow me up for I have no worth left here. Grow a brain young american child (an assumption based on you turn of phrase).
Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	23-Jun-05/6:19 AM
meglomania is different from an interest in the growth of the self.
Re: a comment on Arson by Roisin	22-Jun-05/10:10 AM
I disagree. The poem is concerned with separation and the division of two people who have become co-dependent. Your variation destroys this meaning but it would work well as a sacreligious and egotistical defamation of another artists expression. I give it a 2 (fingers up)
Re: a comment on Last Night by Roisin	29-May-05/7:10 AM
That type of cycle is far too obvious. This poem is not about that kind of cycle but an emotional cycle and how it manifests itself.
Re: a comment on Last Night by Roisin	29-May-05/6:22 AM
Ooooh, you are a pernickety little thing aren't you? Think about it...the cycle is closed, like the water cycle. An evaporation thus condenses on her body though it could equally stay in the same state but it has obviously been affected by further factors which force it into this transitional state. The cycle is closed but there is obviously a fault to the cycle in that is is dammed...it is not able to fuction properly without a plug. I have tried to answer your criticism though i do not believe you had a point to answer in the first place.
Re: Izzy's Last Night by jessicazee	27-May-05/3:30 AM
Moving and interesting. Could do with more clues to the relationship, history between these two. First two lines a little slow for the pace of the rest of the poem.

Re: a comment on River of life by Roisin	28-Nov-03/3:32 AM
We do not know whether death is a curse or a blessing since it is the permanent discontinuation of life, thus we can neither have experienced it nor recieved second hand evidence of it. All we can assume is that it offers freedom from the spatial world whether it be in the form of a disembodied mind or complete nothingness. Is not even nothingness a form of freedom from the world of substance?
