I don't fit in either. Anywhere. You need to find your own little niche. Or you'll end up like George III, the mollusc king who never found his rock. We're all molluscs, and we all need our rocks, but some of us find it harder than others. Or something.

As Alanis Morrissette would say, isn't it ironic? Who is L. Ron Hubbard? I think I recognise the name, but I'm not sure.

Sounds like you had a good night. Hope you're not too hungover.

Wow! That's big and clever.

This is very brave, but perhaps it's all too close to write about.
Re: The Thought Of It by Christof	11-Oct-02/5:50 AM
Very nice indeed. I like the use of curled, and then curdled.
Re: The Waking by Brennan	11-Oct-02/5:48 AM
I like this a lot, but is 'constrewed' a word? Do you mean construed, or constrained? If you've made it up, that's ok, though - Shakespeare did it all the time, so you're in good company.

I agree. Way to counter bourgeois expectations!

Have you never heard of the narrative poem? It's a poem, but also tells a story. Clever, huh?
Re: a comment on ITS A SHAMBLES by lukehanney	9-Oct-02/8:53 AM
What's wrong with inverting words? Isn't it just another poetic technique?
Re: ITS A SHAMBLES by lukehanney	9-Oct-02/8:52 AM
I favour the meat and potato pie myself. Nice poem, in an ironic kind of way.

People always say, as advice to people who want to write, 'write about what you know'. But that's really limiting - you should write about whatever you're capable of imagining.

I've got to go now. I'll have words with you later.
Re: Plastic Man by lukehanney	9-Oct-02/5:53 AM
Bollocks. He nicked it off of the Kinks.

See what can be achieved through not stealing song lyrics!
Re: Ode to Nicholas Jones by lukehanney	9-Oct-02/5:50 AM
Actually, this is bloody good.
Re: purple by youngweirdo	9-Oct-02/5:47 AM
There is poetry here. Of course there is. But it's not very good.
Re: a comment on Possibilities by Nicholas Jones	9-Oct-02/5:41 AM
Perhaps I was impersonating the great McGonagall and his improbable rhymes. The stronger your girders you do build The less chance you have of being killed
Re: a comment on Possibilities by Nicholas Jones	9-Oct-02/5:40 AM
It's meant to be a load of rubbish. At least I didn't nick it from the Kinks.
Re: rapping on caffeine by blackball	9-Oct-02/5:30 AM
Simplicity is often very effective, as it is here. But the poem itself speaks of complexity, if innate notions can change from black to white, all stability is destroyed.
