If you've ever been closer to Amsterdam than Sacramento, I'm a cold cock. What I'm trying to say is, it shows.

"Little sparrow, little sparrow, Precious fragile little thing Little sparrow, little sparrow Flies so high and feels no pain." - Dolly Parton "Who will love a little Sparrow? Who's traveled far and cries for rest? 'Not I,' said the Oak Tree, 'I won't share my branches with no sparrow's nest, And my blanket of leaves won't warm her cold breast.' Who will love a little Sparrow And who will speak a kindly word? 'Not I,' said the Swan, 'The entire idea is utterly absurd, I'd be laughed at and scorned if the other Swans heard.'" - Paul Simon

I just counted and in 360 posts you've not written a single poem that wasn't about yourself. What do you think you'd write about if you were forced to write about something different? I bet: blind children, Christian knights, or kittens, in that order.

Re: Never Did You by Dreammaker1024	12-Mar-05/11:15 PM
This is simply awful. Can I make a recommendation? Please visit these poetry links: http://www.favoritepoem.org/poems/index.html http://www.slate.com/id/2114499/ http://www.poemranker.com/index.jsp And read until your eyeballs rupture. That's the only way your going to get close to writing a poem worth criticising. I'm not trying to be hard on you, by the way; that's seriously what everybody who wants to write presentable poetry has to do, and it shows in this poem that you haven't done it. Good luck, and let me know how it comes out! -zodiac

Is this why you keep reposting that wretched "Pumped Up" poem?

The past is dirtier and quite a bit more smelly; the future has flying cars and onepiece spandex suits for everybody.

Contrary to popular belief, inter-cousin or inter-sibling marriages pose negligible additional risk for the offspring over one generation.
Re: You took my half dozen (revised) by poodietat	14-Mar-05/10:09 PM
The most untrue part of this is "didn't remember how good it felt". It probably didn't. This is crap jock fantasy. Surprising considering the source.

Re: Apostrophetic Loss by Dovina	18-Mar-05/9:41 PM
And can we get back to the poem for a minute? 1) There's no connection between inappropriate apostrophe use and "renegade poet comedians" on poemranker except that two (maybe three) of them sometimes write "you're" as "your". They don't do that because they've got a problem with apostrophes; they do it because they're making fun of everybody on the site who confuses them all the time. In any event, that wouldn't be an apostrophe problem; it would be an apostrophe-AND-misspelling problem. 2) Again, colloquialisms and apostrophes are not necessarily related. Wherever colloquialisms ARE written, they're written with apostrophes. In fact, most colloquialisms are written with more apostrophes than standard English, as exemplified by the colloquialisms at this helpful site, Black Country Sayings: http://www.sedgleymanor.com... 3) "Renegade poet comedians"??? It seems like just a little while ago you were calling them stuffy bastions of conservative poetry. Anyway, are you aware of what a TOTAL REVERSAL that is? And I bet if I comment on someone's punctuation today, you'll be back on how I'm keeping poetic experimenters down with my strict adherence to Victorian standards. Without realizing you've spun so fast, you've left your britches still traveling in the opposite direction. 4) "dim" was the word about six months ago. Since then I've gone through periods of using "bum", "Retard Islam", and god knows what else. So, way to keep up! Glad to hear "dim" hurt the most, though! 5) There is no incrowd. No one says anyone's uncool on this site. Except me - I say you're uncool. 6) Bow'ls is an appropriate (though archaic) usage. Otherwise you'd have to pronounce it with two syllables. Anyway, no one here invented it. 7) By the way, bow'ls is SO two years ago. 8) As far as I can recall, no "renegade poet comedian" on this site has ever used dropped g's (ie, "makin") for a gag. You, however did affect an accent for an entire comment once (here: http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=119983), so are you insane? 9) I'd say the "it" part is about me since I overuse it in my comments here, but you'll just say I'm totally unsupported it's about someone else, so whatever. I do have a problem overusing it on this site. If that's what you're talking about, good one. 10) In short, this poem is totally crap, not a poem, and grounded in some lunatic assumption that everyone on this site except blacksoul, al-nafiysh, and Dan g-B is unreasonably out to get you. I'm serious, that's what lunatics think. If you're going to respond, "what a bunch of drivel i couldn't be bothered to read it or whatever", please don't. For one, it just makes you look like you're intimidated by reading more than a dozen words at a time. And for another thing, I went to the trouble of putting it in handy bullet-point format to avoid exactly that problem. Hey, thanks for paying attention!
Re: Zin/Enough/Things/Squeeze/Flow by gregsamsa222	18-Mar-05/10:04 PM
With the possible exception of the shoestring, nothing - no image, line, phrasing, structure, or anything else really - is very original here. You'd be great for writing a dictionary of poetic tropes.
