Your haikus inspire me.

Happiness is result of bio-chemistry, and it's over-rated. This poem is awful.
Re: a comment on The Sea by Moss	20-Nov-02/9:03 AM
No I can't. But I can say there are some fresh images here, and it's spare which I like.
Re: a comment on The Sea by Moss	20-Nov-02/8:58 AM
I don't think is poem is actually about the sea.
Re: Orange Hills (Villanelle) by Moss	20-Nov-02/8:56 AM
I don't like this poem but I think it qualifies. Five tercets, a final ququatrain and two rhymes.

Your title has a typo. the mood never builds.

Take out the Shakespeare. the second stanza is far better than the first though it still needs work. What the hell's a clich?

it's so hard to stay out ofthe sheets. That would be the least of her follies. I'm more hammers than claws.
Re: "Why would I need to get in touch with you?" by Limness	20-Nov-02/8:22 AM
"that you did not think" what? I can guess but I want you to tell me in one or two words. I think that's just a personal thing. Very nice, like a piece of driftwood.
Re: a comment on the pot collected water when it hid us from the rain by kiki	20-Nov-02/8:14 AM
Agreed, but it's easier on me to be attacked than to watch someone I like be attacked. Plus I have the feeling kiki might do alright if she'd just pull back on the throttle a bit.
Re: The Sea by Moss	20-Nov-02/8:11 AM
Perfect ending. "to tight to be clean" is obscure.

What I seem at what I am are to very different things. You seem like a total bitch, but I'm sure your not. Let me say it more clearly. You came here and start spewing rhetoric and insults as if you know what your talking about. I don't like you. This is by far the best poem you have posted, don't pay attention to the votes because they don't reflect anything and don't really matter anyway. The sarcastic point I was trying to make about the human experience thing: You trash sentiment, and then your best poem is all about sentiment

Hello, she's no longer picking fruit either! Or perhaps there's a govt. sponsored program were they hand out laptops to migrant workers. "Sorry no health -care or schools but here's something to keep you 'connected'. She 's got a website. I never said anything derogatory, well expect of course that you don't know what you're talking about. Like that's ever stopped you before. Anyway, I'm just having fun. Aren't you? One Country is the time Eddy and I held hands cause we were square dance partners. The rest of the time you're throwing sand. So tell me Herr Doktor, in your honest opinion who is the better poet, our new friend here, or me?

I think the better argument is that I'm rating this on a curve, and after reading so many dull and ugly things this is a breath of clever and intelligent air. The fact is if he was a complete stranger I would probably praise him more then I already do. You can never be a prophet in your own hometown and all that. I knew this boy once, in 1st grade, Eddy, I think his name was. He really liked me and I liked him. He insisted on expressing his affections by throwing sand in my face. Once he came over to my easel and started painting my face with his brush. The teacher screamed at him but I knew he was frustrated with his inability to show me how much he loved me. You remind me of him
