okay, i agree he does come off as a pompous ass. he acts superior, but, er...well, his writing IS superior to "99% of others on here." if only the boy knew humility. but then, we all need a fulcrum or two.

it takes a fresh view, joe. yes, you're right there with the humanity of the experience--but you're reporting it, and i want you to make me feel it. all night's the best of the lot. but, check out the helpful hints here: http://www.uni.edu/~gotera/CraftOfPoetry/imagery.html and, show me, dammit!

but raw bone does not stink, after the first cut. a few days in the sun, or hours in august, and yes, it will. but not so quickly as you would metaphor-ize, here.

yes. you mean "phone" correct? if not, what do you mean? cum to your senses, man! very funny. i think you could push the envelop of absurdity a little more. in fact, i'm sure you could. and will.

once more, with feeling. always cut away all those extra filler words (it was, just, only, etc...) my suggs: Time won't heal these open wounds, Inflicted relentlessly; Emotions linger, disturbed tombs broken, emptied. After you destroyed me I craved control; I gave my body but never my soul. And now, consumed By loneliness and guilt, This love cannot be exhumed Buried in scarlet silk.

joe just run it in word's spell check. turn the feature on where it auto-corrects spelling. that helps. the grammar check makes suggestions for you. this being poetry, you won't take them, of course, but it will point them out to you, nonetheless.

Re: Karma by http://mulberryfairy	4-Aug-03/11:22 AM
also, i always thought it was "peeling out"because you left some rubber on the driveway. i like the aural association of 'pealing out', but i don't think it works, if that's what you meant, because squaling rubber, she is not mellifluous, eh?
