More really good poetry, Rylflsh. As an editor (among other things), I recommend resubmitting after a thorough edit/spellcheck; writing this good deserves it.

Methinks it putrid; my wife's Ojibwa and I'm part Cherokee. But, something shimmers through.

"i would have drowned myself"? You write wymyn poetry, but, I like it. Can't understand it, really, but, She does.

Kewl thought snippet; makes me wanna see about 30 more lines....the promise of Promise. I'm FINALLY back to p'ranker; too much going on. My 18 yr old took off across the US and Canada by train, solo, this past week for 3 months....not that I'm worried or anything (underfuqueing statement of the year). His first stop was the Big Apple; yeah, no worries there. Write on.

Where are those TPC report covers, Lnshdw? Your poem, although you can cinch it even tighter, already puts a noose of quiet desperation 'round me neckbone.
Re: Instructions to a Sculptor by Christof	1-Oct-02/8:16 PM
The nick is the distinctive, final, signifying mark of the creator of art, the slight imperfection reflecting the author's unique ingenuity while admitting with humility the imperfection of mortal existence before the pure presence of the almighty represented by the observations of others.

...but this haiku smells nuthin' but fine, fine, fine. I believe the term most widely accepted in academe is fiddle. As in, Ah do believe ahm fixin' tuh play this'n here fiddle. If you do rosin up the bow, be sure and do your best Irish American tribute with a hearty round of Lannigan's Ball. Thereafter, Fox on the Run.
Re: The Thought Of It by Christof	10-Oct-02/6:32 PM
Very strong, Christof. Zzin informed me you hit number 1 on p'ranker; good for you. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. But, we're hot on your heals.

Makes me wish I had a fireplace; but, I do have a chiminea. Dylan Thomas wrote of "the mulling pokers" in 'Child's Christmas in Wales'; reminds me of that. You two literary femmes, if you like craft-brewed beer, must try Raven lager our of B'more, MD. I served it for 3 hours this afternoon at an Arlington Oktoberfest shindig--I was a volunteer for my homebrew club. It would make the perfect ahhhh brew to enjoy in front of the hearth.
Re: d e e p e r by daniella	15-Oct-02/6:15 AM
You're on to something, here, danll; perhaps just a few word tweaks. Reminds me of John Lennon's "Julia" and "It's just the Motion" by Richard and Linda Thompson.

Re: On a chill morning by razorgrin	16-Oct-02/10:12 AM
I'd like to read about 4 more stanzas, rzrgrn. Seems to be the start of a poetic story.

I like it, Aml; but you could do some selective pruning. Consider this a rambling bush in the garden you can now trim into the shape of a...atomic trio.
Re: On the Swings by Christof	17-Oct-02/9:05 AM
I really like it; perhaps the pushee could end up in the Milky Way black hole.

I'm liking it; but, get hung up on "...WHAT tarry to see". Very Dylan Thomas-like; whose work I adore. What is a "hause"?
Re: One liners for the ladies by INTRANSIT	20-Oct-02/7:34 PM
Sweet stuff; I'm reminded of Rob Roy, from the movie, before all that dang 'have at you' and such.

Had to think about this one. Sounds like 220 volt on that shock.
Re: A love of the midlands by ==Doylum	21-Oct-02/1:12 PM
What's telford, a town? If so, capitalize it. Should I change my holiday plans for Iceland and go to Telford, instead?
Re: Plucking hearts and banjo by horus8	21-Oct-02/1:24 PM
This is one of my favourite H8 rambles; I like the wordplay and the line breaks. Tops are "left footed wind-up nut-kick" and "star blackened druids".
Re: Second Attempt at Haiku by loneshadow29	28-Oct-02/8:29 AM
I like it, lnshdw; for my son's 20th b'day in August, I filled the cake with trick candles; he blew till he was blue in the face-hilarious. What do you think, should the two sniper suspects' candles meet their end by being put to death in VA, or should MD try them?
