Please tell me you read my response before deleting it. Everybody else did, apparently, so what difference does it make. In fact, you can just select one of the following easy responses: A) I read your comment, found it cast my poem in a bad light, was afraid of it dragging down my voting, but didn't want to change the poem so it wasn't sexist. PS-I notice richa said the same thing. Do you believe me now?

Yesterday my Iraqi barber explained it to me this way: During Saddam's time, all cigarette lighters in Iraq cost 10 cents. If a merchant tried to sell a lighter for 11 cents, Saddam's police would come and kill him. That's protection. True story.

No it doesn't.
Re: Apostrophetic Loss by Dovina	11-Mar-05/10:05 PM
Colloquialisms usually don't use apostrophes - they're spoken. On the odd instance when they're written, they're written with apostrophes. I think you just mean another word. And what the hell are you talking about? The "renegade poet comedians" (except Jeremi) are the only ones writing correct grammar here. PS-Bow'ls is a real word and real usage. Bet you've got no rebuttal but "Your unsupported"! Whatever.

"To those that would teach poetry" should be "To those who would teach poetry". But I guess that's the whole point.

I think so many people feel alone without understanding each other's pain because they all have exactly the same pain, but are too isolated in their Self-Pity Sheathes to care much about everyone else's pain. What do you think? -zodiac

This comment is beyond comprehensible.
Re: How to make a suicide bomber by Caducus	11-Mar-05/9:38 PM
Suppose a couple of million, say, British were somehow instantaneously teleported to Iraq and all Iraqis somehow teleported to Britain, so that the Britons suddenly find themselves occupied by an insensitive blundering foreign superpower and the Iraqis find themselves serving cranberry scones at Starbucks (this part is actually true). Do you think the Britons would become suicide bombers? Do you think the Iraqis wouldn't?

Oh. Sorry.
Re: a comment on Hunger 2 by Dovina	11-Mar-05/9:29 PM
A) Like you'd care whatever I wrote, so why not write something funny? B) "An example of the objective, serious and helpful criticism you've so often claimed" is not grammatically correct. :-(
Re: a comment on Beetwen by Dovina	11-Mar-05/9:27 PM
You don't have to. But notice everybody in the world reads 'teh' as 'the'. Even my Microsoft Word. First and last letters simply don't have anything to do with it. As I understand it (from my wife who degreed in language acquisition, among others) it has to do with either a certain percent of letters in their appropriate places (but not necessarily first and last) or simply a certain percent of the correct letters present. Beyond that, you'll have to ask -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. for details. But then, you'd rather gouge out your own ovaries than do that, wouldn't you? PS-One thing I love about you is how you're always willing to match something you read in an email forward against the product or real interested inquiry. Go ahead.
Re: a comment on Poet, Earth mover by INTRANSIT	11-Mar-05/9:21 PM
DOVINA: What about the expression "Stating the obvious"? ZODIAC: Still an adjective. Or as much an adjective as best in "All for the best" or husky in "Songs for the husky". Next question?
Re: a comment on Poet, Earth mover by INTRANSIT	11-Mar-05/9:19 PM
How far would you go to avoid the appearance of agreeing with us? Would you, um, suck a cock? Do you think that's very healthy? PS-Obvious is only an adjective, not a noun. Sorry. :-(

Yes, and the best part is that if you actually enter it in AUTOCAD, it creates the perfect illusion of enormous saggy milkbags whapping you in the face.

Re: a comment on Snow Sucks by JoyLuck	9-Mar-05/4:55 AM
Why don't you just take it further and say a painting with paints is a poem? Then "poem" won't really mean anything more than "beautiful" and people can stop belabouring it and get on with their lives. Or maybe you just heard somebody say a sunset or woman's body was a poem once and believed it.
