I remember the first time I heard Queen. On the radio. His voice clear as any bell. I have my L.P.'s but nothing to play them on.

God maybe you could be a poet. They are after all the true statesmen. I'm beginning to think actions speak more poetry then words. Especially in your kind case.
Re: Here by anagram	31-Aug-02/6:30 PM
In fact, may I put this in my son's lunch box? His first day at a new school is Sept.7th. It would mean alot.

I don't believe that. It's just this country is so homophobic, and I want to get a feel for how things are in your neck of the woods. I think of Scot's as these great Bruts with big hands a la Sean Connery, so my mind draws conclusions that you as a nation, (that sounds funny doesn't it) might be a little uncomfortable with it. Kilts aside.
Re: Here by anagram	31-Aug-02/6:19 PM
Again, this is not going to win any prizes out side your front door, but if my father had put this in my lunch box and signed it, I would have the luxury of possessing the best poem ever written.
Re: The Messenger (The Unreplaceable And Greatly Missed Mr. Mercury) by anagram	31-Aug-02/6:14 PM
Oh! I thought you spoke of a futbol Mr. Mercury. As far as the poem goes I am learning as you have taught. This is far from good, but the sentiment is genuine. I'm curious, in a professional way, hows the state of homo-phobia in Scotland? My un-informed guess would be that you'd feel reluctant to praise Mr. Mercury.

No, no, no not brilliant but beautiful. Just as you need them to be. Mr. Mercury? I'm embarrassed to say I haven't a clue. I was suppose to go see the Los Angeles Galaxy tonight but I'm nursing a fever and sniffles. The Rose Bowl is situated in a canyon and it's cold at night, regardless of what the day time temp.
Re: Last Words by anagram	31-Aug-02/5:53 PM
Again it seems like you're not finishing what you've begun. The subject is missing. Take the shot, quit dribbling the ball. CSN makes me think of Crosby, Stills & Nash. Are those your initals?

Maybe you should try editing and posting your own remarks.
Re: Comparisons by anagram	31-Aug-02/5:40 PM
Painfully obvious? Oh no! As for Futbol, which I was born to love and appreciate. It's the only thing my people have left, and even that's questionable.(See Argentina, World Cup 2002) it has the true poetry of every physical endeavor. I wish I could see you play. As for your practising writing as well as your touches, it is precisely because your loved-ones rely on you for their rituals and scholastics that you might want to pay a little more attention to this talent of yours. Their world will be bettered, because they read something beautiful you wrote. That has far more meaning then anything they might read from a book. It would belong them.
Re: Passion's Flashes by RaychelW	31-Aug-02/5:15 PM
I been seeing more and more good poetry on poemranker today. This is one of them. I it do better not to mention Love. Your talk of lightening alone is poetry enough.
Re: Billy Bytack Forces His Children To Sell Jesus by horus8	31-Aug-02/5:05 PM
You have not seen me ten times and I have no trouble with making mistakes, but you just can't bend the truth to make your point. You have no interest in helping me,(ergo, never having time for me let alone my poetry) as a poet, or a friend. Just look at the so called comments you left on my submissions. I'm not being righteous. I have never been such, and you know it. I have never held myself above anyone. My entire life revolves around that one fact. Think about who you're talking to. My user name has nothing to do with this.
Re: The Stifling Moment by vulcan	31-Aug-02/4:59 PM
I love this poem. I think it's 'wood' not woods.
Re: A journey to the sun by kawakurdi	31-Aug-02/4:51 PM
I was really getting into it and then the last stanza seemed comparetively immature. You're a good poet none the less.
Re: Billy Bytack Forces His Children To Sell Jesus by horus8	31-Aug-02/4:40 PM
You've never even seen me read many times how could you possibly have seen me apoligize many times. You've seen me read what, 5 times at the most. You are mistaken.
Re: Billy Bytack Forces His Children To Sell Jesus by horus8	31-Aug-02/4:32 PM
I help the ones that I can in my way that's the beauty of it. I have never named anyone as being unserious. Least of all you. Why are you attacking me?
Re: "Home" by Dreamer	31-Aug-02/4:28 PM
Needs editing.Typos and cumbersome phrasing.
Re: Billy Bytack Forces His Children To Sell Jesus by horus8	31-Aug-02/4:07 PM
Back then, I wasn't praising your writings, I was praising you. I still do. You just keep losing yourself in everything around you, even in the words. Stop worrying, everything's going to be o.k. Let it go. Start making sense for yourself. Is writing or being an artist all you value? Your writing is more confused then it needs to be to maintain it's edge. Your life is confused. You have to make choices. I'm well aware of the shit that runs in my viens. The artist breed, but I will not let it ruin me. I'm not asking you to write differently. I'm suggesting you write more effectively, take it or leave it. Your extravaganze pauperizes you.
Re: Women by Prosper	31-Aug-02/3:29 PM
Well written. The experience of reading it on the computer added to the poems authority. Each word revealing itself from the right margin is symbolic of the poem revealing the heroine bit by bit. And the heroine learning who she is step by step. Very pleasing and relivant.
Re: Billy Bytack Forces His Children To Sell Jesus by horus8	31-Aug-02/3:15 PM
I have never apoligized for my poetry, forgotten or otherwise. Why are you so sensitive? I commented. Is this as good as it gets for you? Far from. All your remarks have been unhelpful and abusive, why is that? I mentioned Babbitt once. I have praised you a million times. Go figure.
