Wistful. Very lovely.

I actually rather like this. It's certainly true, and it has a directness that's appealing - very different to George's literary style.

Again, very true. But Christ became angry in the temple - is he going to go to war like George Bush?

By the way, are you really a professor? Should I call you Prof. Doug?

You make me ashamed to be of the same species.

If I was wearing by pedant's hat, I'd say this wasn't a sonnet because it's not always iambic. But I'm feeling quite laidback today (although I hate my landlord, but that's a different matter). I like the nature imagery which is subverted by a sense of darkness.

Blimey! Have you been reading Dylan Thomas? This is excellent. It sums up very well the autumnal weather, and you get in the absurdity of existence, a la Samuel Beckett. Top banana!

I do like a good bit Yank bashing, but it's not much fun when it's this obvious. It's more entertaining to confuse rather than just annoy them.

This is funny. But your xenophobia and homophobia isn't.

This amuses me because the word pants, on this side of the atlantic, is inherently amusing.

I think it works much better as a single poem. People out there should also realise politics is a valid poetic subject.

There were battles in my country, too, but not since 1745.

Did you know they've put Rolf's pictures in the National Gallery? It's a fucking outrage.

I just thought I'd tell you that I've just had lunch in my university canteen, and outside there were people lying on the floor, covered in fake blood pretending to Iraqi bomb victims. This may not be a very dignified way to protest, and it probably trivialises the whole thing, but it shows opposition to war may well be spreading.

There's a nice sense of inevitability, but I'm not sure if the simplicity of the verse structure works here.
Re: the ultimate battle by teacup	1-Nov-02/1:32 AM
I like the fact that the first four lines could be some horrible cliched angsty poem, but then it goes off into comic territory at the end.

As a keen cyclist, I quite sympathise with the damp arse problem. The answer is to wear waterproof trousers, but then you look stupid. Oh, and put a plastic bag over your saddle when you leave the bike.
