Dear Readers: This shall be my final comment on the website: www.poemranker.com. When I first heard about this website on Yahoo (The day it was highlighted as a really neat opportunity for those who wanted to have a chance to share their poetic efforts with others) I was delighted. Since that time, it has become increasingly clear, at least to me anyway, that this is no place for one who might want to receive serious feedback to be. The feedback that one receives doesn't seem to be related, in any way, to the poetic merits of one's writing. So often, it seems, their responses are nothing more than a sordid and demented attempt to hurt others. Except for a few rather looney attempts to wright something crazy, most of what I have written represented an honest attempt to do my best as a poet. And some of my poems were, I feel, perhaps rather decent. But regardless of what I wrote (regardless of how good or poor it might have been) there were those on this website who seemed to do their best to degrade my, as well as others, efforts. The website was, and still is, a really good idea. But unless those, who have done their dead-level best to destroy the potential value of this website, choose to go somwhere else, it is my opinion that this website will have little, if any value, for those of us who would like to share our poetic efforts with other mature individuals who seem to care. I shall continue to write poetry, however good or poor it just might be, but it will no longer appear on this website. Thank you for taking the time to hear me out, and the very best to those of you who have an honest desire to write, as well as to share, your well-intented comments with others. Your Friend, Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology e-mail: dougsod@wcjc.cc.tx.us P.S. And for those of you who choose to respond to my comments in an unkind, and perhaps even immature and thoughtless manner, have at it----- -but please do remember this one last thing: "Do unto others as you would like for them to do unto you." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Re: AIDS in a Doug by horus8	17-Sep-04/10:05 AM
An absolutely wonderful poem! I think the rhymes are great. And the part about Doug....... really cool! But I didn't understand "the pee part." Did that part refer to the fact that one who is not finely attuned to democracy really is pee? And, Horus, do you really have a beard? Tell me the truth, Horus, do you? And just a little reminder here....... Aids is not fun! Love, Doug P.S. Keep up the good work you're doing.......... your fan, Doug

Dear Fraser: As the originator of the term "whemying," I congratulate you on a supremely fine piece of work! What rhyme, meter, and a few wonderful words can do..... especially when paired together with such a sweet concept as that of whemying.......... BRAVO TO YOU!!! Doug Soderstrom
