I like Stella Artois, good beer. But, methinks Sierra Nevada Big Foot barleywine would cause a row and a ruction to begin.
Re: In the Quiet of the Night a Tree Gently Shakes by Nicholas Jones	30-Oct-02/7:48 AM
"light growing, streetlights ending"? Good haiku.

Somehow, the Billy Preston tune "nothing from nothing leaves nothing" fits in here. Rent the movie "Pi", baba.

"Little Sister don't you, LS don't you, LS don't you kiss me once or twice, say it's very nice..." but I digress. Plathensian.
Re: Another Tragic Love Poem by greym0on	30-Oct-02/1:06 PM
Very strong, emotionally evocative. In stanza two, it reads awkwardly to end a line with "within" and start the next one with "in". Minor quibbles. "I'm sorry, is all that you can say..." --name that artist.
Re: cool hand luke by royalflesh	31-Oct-02/10:29 PM
I like it; check your typos. Rolling Stone mag did a fascinatingly strange article on Hemingway and his very troubled son; I believe it was the August issue. My favorite line here is "and it is so much more....than destroyed". Keep fleshing, royally.
Re: The Funnyman by Christof	2-Nov-02/9:49 AM
Haven't given a 9 in awhile. Reminds me of the line "squeezing out sparks" by Graham Parker. After reading this, I'm going to finally rent "Lenny" with Dustin Hoffman playing the role of the comedic genius Lenny Bruce.

Gold of the underworld, do you mean "That the lovelorn shepherd lives"?

I got inside a friend's Mini Cooper S, recently; no head room. The 'wickywackywa' is intrigueing; Knights of Ni, anyone?
Re: .:|Mindfucked|:. by emman	5-Nov-02/1:17 PM
I'm curious about line two; Swedish? From this poem, I thought you were a male. "Just to seem more human" but, the result is seeming more like an emotionless automaton.
Re: Hells Game by Katie	5-Nov-02/1:25 PM
Strong writing, Katie; I think of two cowboys in a duel, gangs, etc. 'The anger is hereditary' makes me wonder. You gotta keep 'em separated; teufel hunde.
Re: Elegy for Lonnie Donegan by Nicholas Jones	6-Nov-02/6:31 AM
"Well, the Rock Island Line...". How many Brit and US musicians did Lonnie influence? Impossible to measure. A seminal artist in the history of RnR and folk rock. On this side of the pond, we just lost Adolph Green.
Re: Dead Poets' Society (Joke) by Yardbird	6-Nov-02/6:36 AM
Yon Sir Yardbird, your deft wit is deliver-ed with panache and quick dispatch. Hurrah. No pissy little comments from me.
Re: A dutch poem (just a joke) by susie	6-Nov-02/8:26 AM
I'll guess that you deserve a 10; but, alas, I don't speak/read/write Dutch. Seems to rhyme. Methinks this the first completely foreign language poem on this site. I'll have to cook up one in German. Isn't Dutch just English and German thrown together?
regarding some deleted poem...	6-Nov-02/8:41 AM
Tastee, TASTY; yum. Alright, I'm depressed because of yesterday's election results in this country, and, mostly, Sen. Wellstone's passing; but, quality poetry can always pick me up.
Re: Necromantic Boo-boo by razorgrin	8-Nov-02/11:50 AM
"live and learn"...or die and dine; your choice, rzrgrn. I think it's hard to beat "Freaks" (1933?) for sheer skin-crawling revulsion inducement.

Is it getting warm in here? Ya know, I read the title and I wondered, hmmm, what would Zzin write about as being 'Before Coffee'? Der lange Shlange.

Well, it's all about the search, now aint it?
Re: An Exercise in Futility by loneshadow29	14-Nov-02/1:51 PM
Lnshdw, even this sort of poetry should probably steer clear of the word 'nothingness'. Makes me wonder why we don't have the word 'somethingness'.
Re: The Wooden Armchair Of Similar Dreams by Caducus	14-Nov-02/2:01 PM
I like it, Cdcs. I would, however, like to see wenches associated with more positive elements than 'stench', perhaps 'wymyn's wenchly winsome wyles and wunnerful quenching...' something, something; they deserve it. Not sure about 'derelict peace'.
