Thanks, PAKI. Cycle of existence deal. Your mission, you mangy whelp, should you choose to accept it; read 'Poem in October' by Dylan Thomas, out loud.
Re: The Messenger (The Unreplaceable And Greatly Missed Mr. Mercury) by anagram	17-Aug-02/8:09 AM
Alright, 11am in VA, I'm up and doing what??? Refinishing my '59 Melody Maker, like I should? No, I'm logging back in to this damnable site. Thanks, Bachus, for a comment unusual for you, cogent, referential, intelligible; as a musician, do you know Every Body Gets Drunk At Elections? PAKI, I finally read some of your poetry; I like it much better than many of your wretchedly shallow comments. Frankly, I'd love to read more from Anagram; dude, I'm scots-american, I WILL visit the old country, it's gonna happen.
Re: The Messenger (The Unreplaceable And Greatly Missed Mr. Mercury) by anagram	16-Aug-02/8:51 PM
PAKI, isn't it about time you stuck a fucking sock in it? Thanks, Anagram, for a well worded tribute. I still work through Tie Yo Mutha Down to loosen up on the git. A, do they really batter and deep dry candy bars in Scotland?

Thanks, mojo. Celebrating a two month old boy's existence in an autumn sunset.
Re: Stray by Corey McHattan	15-Aug-02/4:40 PM
A consciousness raising poem; thank you, Corey. At my alma mater, George Mason U., bands of feral cats wander the campus, howling like lonely, lost soul choirs every night. Students regularly throw cats out at the end of the semester.
Re: I LOVE YOUR HATE AND RIDICULE by http://janglingjack	14-Aug-02/9:07 PM
Firstly, I'm sorry for your loss. I give you a 9 for this poem, JJ. It leaps above the snarling, rank fog of cranky pretension and pointless crudity emitted by others on this site and overwhelms their derision with the immediacy of your strongly held feelings. Please stay on poemranker and submit more poetry.
Re: To a Comet Passing by Frass	14-Aug-02/3:18 PM
Thanks, Bachus. Your poetry on this site is scary, your comments to many are wild; but, I appreciate you liking this poem.
Re: Salt by <~>	14-Aug-02/2:06 PM
Wonderful work, once again, from one of my favorite poets on poemranker. I've mentioned to you poets your work reminds me of; but, also consider the lyrics of Richard Thompson; particularly tunes like 'Shoot out the lights' and 'Just the motion.'
Re: My Own World of Darkness by venusdemilo	10-Aug-02/10:10 PM
I hope this isn't really you. Let your poetry express, as with the medical term; vent. I'd like to read your poetry stemming from 'what I once thought before.'

Dickensian? I'm way off. You put us, as readers, there.
Re: To You, In Warmer Climes by <~>	8-Aug-02/10:32 AM
Zinnia, you are talented. Thanks for raising the bar on Poemranker.
Re: drum circle by <~>	8-Aug-02/10:30 AM
You've got many creative ideas and scrumptious wordplay; internal rhymes, etc.
Re: 22nd Anniversary by Frass	8-Aug-02/9:46 AM
Thank you, Zinnia. Bitter can be good, when hop bitterness balances malty sweetness in a fine beer. Do you mean 'the last' line in the poem? It's definitely meant to be a feel good poem. Check out my 'Billie's Threnody' for something different.
Re: overwhelmed by nentwined	31-Jul-02/5:32 PM
I think artist would be the most difficult ascent. I love the saying 'Art is Free'; but, as NRBQ once sang, 'there aint no free.'

Spasms of creativity; get it together, roses.
Re: A poem from the sky by Roisin	19-Jul-02/8:53 PM
Strong, descriptive, creative phrases for feelings in a romantic relationship. Somewhat of a disempowered female feel, though. As if the man is god; he's not.
Re: Two Eagles by Frass	15-Jul-02/8:35 AM
Firstly, thank you. I'm not sure which ancient event you're referring to; I was thinking more of meso-American, pre-European cultures. Thanks again for your comments.
Re: For Mukhtaran Bibi in Pakistan by pkdrunner	14-Jul-02/6:13 PM
Makes me want to learn what happened; a recent current event? I can't quite tell what happened.
Re: Ode to writers' block by Roisin	9-Jul-02/4:54 PM
I know what you mean, Roisin. If I could only Shake some spears into these lines. I love your sense of humor/wordplay. Write on!
