Ofcourse I know that. I suggested you edited in order to erase my vote. I thought I made that plain and obvious. Somehow, I've failed. tsk tsk tsk.
Re: Writers' Block by wilco	7-Jun-04/5:38 PM
Heh. You should of put "ThinkDamnit" as the border.. would of been funnier to me anyway. But anyway, heres an eight sir.
Re: a comment on Bitter bacardi makes the black stones dance. by SupremeDreamer	7-Jun-04/5:36 PM
Thank you for handing me absolute victory, I shall allow you to cop out via this quickly typed excusatory reply. Now, if that was you being serious, then I wouldn't want to see you clown around, you'd out do me in the jester charade. Have a nice day marm, and please, be proud to write like a classical poet from the 1800s and celebrate your historic penning like any other collector who admires his antique.

Blessed with an eight. Go in peace.
Re: a comment on Bitter bacardi makes the black stones dance. by SupremeDreamer	7-Jun-04/5:24 PM
Then why are you huffing and puffing over me saying that your poem seemed classical to me? Also, why do you keep bringing up the fact that I used "hat so drear" as if to prove that I'm guilty of being classical as well, and therefor a bloated hypocrit? Eh marm? All that is quite retaliatory, no matter how you'd like to sugar coat it. It's a reaction provoked by my comments on your poem- no matter what you'd rather believe or convince yourself otherwise. As for forcing the rhyme, I didn't really. When I wrote this, I was pretty drunk, and found hat so drear to be pretty funny. Actually, it still sounds funny. I could easily modify or twist the rhyme into many other things using many words other than "drear" marm, for example: --sheer-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, up and over this mountain so sheer --beer-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, rum kept close; I'd never drink beer --sear-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, bitter rum makin m'lips & tongue sear --steer-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, in the fields tryin to go fuck a steer --spear-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, standin poised to ready my spear --jeer-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, foul smellin hobos makin me jeer --queer-- It's this cold 'n solitary dark that I'm stalkin, lookin to kill those who be queer And theres plenty more my twisted mind can conjure up from the darkest recesses of my bowls. Now as for the use of "ole", it's a common term used as an alternate way to say :"old". Now even though "cold" and "old" rhyme, the modification was thought up for the word old, and the effect wouldn't be comprehensible for "cold". If I say for instance, this classic line: "Come here Ole Blue!" Any dim-wit can comprehend what I am saying. But if I said something like: "I feel cole" You'd probably confuse some folks, and they'd be lead to think that you're talkin bout that black stuff, you know, the stuff used in your average cheap camper barbecue that doesn't use propane? Yeah, that stuff. Then they would wonder why your feeling coal, and how stupid you must be for misspelling that elementary word. But ole is perfectly ok, though you could argue that it's spelled "ol" marm, but that would be a pointless adventure. I say it's "ole", and damn anyone who says otherwise. :) Now, I have no problem going into further detail bout my use of english in this fashion, or bout the "classical" debate. Quite frankly, if you wanted to get a better example of my writing in a classic fashion, then look under Don-Quixote, one of my alternate pen-names, and view the Villanelle entitled "Ravens Flight - Voices of Spite". With that, you can effectively push your crusade over who writes in the most classical fashion to victory. Personally? I couldn't give a shit.

Those are all in my lil collection of music. Along with some newer stuff, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Everlast, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, .... and well I have a long list heh.
Re: a comment on Le Sommeil- Slumber by Sasha	7-Jun-04/3:52 PM
So you enforce a policy of "votes under nine are automatically rejected?". How pompous and vain can you be? I'd love to see the full extent of your pontifical crusade.
Re: a comment on Bitter bacardi makes the black stones dance. by SupremeDreamer	7-Jun-04/3:47 PM
No right to pontificate? I certainly do, and why? Because I've deemed myself worthy. The use of drear is obviously the result of fitting in the chosen rhyme scheme. As for who speaks in this way? I do- yes marm, I don't always pronounce my G's in those words normally ending in "ing". Also laziness will be the reason behind why I won't say the "be" in "because". And quite frankly, there are pieces written by many other poets that make my slanged perversion of english look very mild indeed. Honestly Sasha, I don't think this petty retaliation against me doesn't offer an inkling of actual character. But, the emotional insecurity and inferiority complex has been made very apparent. Atleast, to me. I simply had an opinion, and your poem didn't give me wood at all, in any way- not even a slight tingle. But it was well written, which was why I even gave you a seven. You're ability to handle this is at the level of a twelve year old with a super-enhanced vocabulary. Why do you bother posting if you can not tolerate opinions which don't necessarily drool and praise your work as something worthy of a Nobel Poetry Prize? In short marm: you're just a slim tube farting up hot air. You don't even have a proper whistling to be fancied as a plump Xanax filled tea kettle. I'd suggest a strong Valium. Go chill. Oh, and thanks for the six. :)
Re: a comment on Le Sommeil- Slumber by Sasha	7-Jun-04/3:13 PM
"Away you garish day! But come, dear darkness! Close my eyes to the millions of your sky" That was what made me feel as if I was transported to the middle-late 1800s. Therefor, to me, it's a classical flar'd ending. The over all style and feel wasn't exactly one that plucked my strings- everyone have preferences. Congradulations on your fluency in french. I can speak it to a mediocre degree, but reading and writing it is another thing altogether. Well, now that my questions have been answered, I'll now whip out my final vote. You've been blessed with seven.
Re: a comment on Decks of Cards (So Long to the City) by wilco	7-Jun-04/2:54 PM
Alabama was decent aswell, & I do have a flare for the Clearwater Revival(sp?). But at heart I'm a rollin stones fan.. blues and rock intermixed in musical perfection. And yes, I do think Mc Jagger is an artistic genius. (though, having seen their last concert and the mummified look of the drummer, along with the fashion statement made by the guitarist made dennis rodman more tolerable to look at... for a short while anyway. Mc Jagger was the only one who seemed time capsuled with tight jeans and early eighties bar-shirt under his blue button-up shirt. Maybe he found the miracle drug that Cher has been praying for.)
Re: Decks of Cards (So Long to the City) by wilco	7-Jun-04/2:11 PM
Unfortunately, I don't like country.. but you've managed to earn my blessing of seven despite my bias. But really, I definately don't like country, it's a withering music style in my opinion, hangin by the thread of nostalgic hillbilly prom memories of Billy-Jake Roe snaking his hand underneath the skirt of his friends sister a year younger than he, but her bra's packed enough to let a lot of things slide with the aid of some potato gin.
Re: paperclips by son of the moon	7-Jun-04/2:03 PM
Heh. Nice work, sounds like something I'd do while idling at my cubicle terminal. You've been blessed with nine.
Re: Le Sommeil- Slumber by Sasha	7-Jun-04/1:59 PM
Is this translation something that you've actually written? 'Cause if so, the classic flare isn't doin jack for me really. And if you didn't write this yourself, then why do you post it's translation? Not here to feel as if I'm looking over literature assignments, but these translations have that effect 'pon me. That said, I'll be reserving my vote for now. Hope you don't take my comment badly- I can't help being an ass since it's a part of my bloated pride.
Re: Hollywierd by INTRANSIT	7-Jun-04/1:44 PM
This reminds me of my odd rantings. It began pretty well, but the end wasn't very satisfactory for me. Felt and looked like you just tapered off after "Mr. President" You've been blessed with eight.

It had some good parts mostly, but theres a lot of wrinkles that weaken its effect. You've been blessed with seven.
Re: Horror Film by Jeremi B. Handrinos	28-May-04/1:18 AM
I can tell that I'm being ignored. You haven't even ridiculed me for my question, not even a reply with a elongated and false translation to make me the punchline of a joke. Not even a blasted "bow'ls". Have I done something to deserve being tagged as an invisible and horribly grotesque untouchable? I have a gut feeling that I won't get a reply to my question wrapped in childish whining. But anyway, I figure voicing my curiousity is a needed urge, the side-effect of some dismal disease that I endure daily.
