The best part was "my hair was dark and short".

You would. But why?

Could you explain the line "In their palms they hold my depth"?

Sorry, but that doesn't make any sense.

You sure do a lot of grieving for those days. It's kind of sad. -10-

There's a bus that drives around here with "A Horus Production" written on the driversside door and a big Arab smoking handrolled cigarettes driving. As soon as I see it again, I'll get you a picture.

And more respectable too. And you can pronounce it with two syllables.

Before reading this poem, I didn't know war was bad.

"But stopped because the star was not the floor" is too cute. :-(
on Kaleidoscopic (Re-Edit) by Sasha 22 Feb 2005, 6:23 AM
These are the rough lines:

with old components, as you brush or soap,

with stranger friends who blow us off with “Nope,

- I can't say what's wrong with them exactly, except the first one should probably not have a "brush or" and the second is simply too run-on to end with Nope.

I can't remember how it was before. I thought maybe better?

its' should be its. Artichoke, what?

Dear Christ this is bad.
I mean, not just grammar bad,
Though that's a big part of it.
It's simply philosophically unsound,
Callous to the extreme,
Dangerous,
And all around poorly conceived and phrased.
To read this comment, please print it in a single line of text on a rock and fling it at your head.
I'm being absolutely serious.
So none of this 'zodiac just likes to pick out little things and ignore the blah blah blah' crap, please.

PS-I just read your comment beginning "War is bad." Consider taking some of your own advice.

Of course I know what nothingtoanyone is trying to communicate.

Sorry, that's no qualification for poetrye.

To clarify: Take the sentence above. Do I seem to have felt something? Yes, of course. I felt sorry. Did I find a unique way of expressing it? Yes. I intentionally spelled poetry in an odd kind of quaint way. Does it let you feel something too? If there's any reason to the universe, yes. Put-off, indignant, or somewhat justified in whatever preconceived notions you're harboring about my personality or procreative abilities, probably.

Maybe you mean, The POET seems to feel something and finds a unique way blah blah blah. Is this a poem because INTRANSIT, a poet, wrote it? Not in any kind of universe I want to exist in!
on For Elizabeth, Wherever She May Be by wilco 20 Feb 2005, 5:35 AM
This is good.

Suggestion: Because it's short, oddly indented, and has the smell of aphorism about it.

Thanks! Maybe you mean He doesn't believe in GodGod.
replying on If God Was a Nihilist by baughworm 20 Feb 2005, 5:24 AM
Hey, great sarcastic response!

Too bad I said "about all your poetry" and not just "all your poetry, including your most recent". Seriously, do you only read like every fifth word or something?

PS-Your ten times as mature as I am.
replying on ~RePOST~Cupid's Arrow <----<< by nothingtoanyone 20 Feb 2005, 5:15 AM
Of course I only mean, in your, nothingtoanyone's, experience. Please feel free to complete the following instead:

1) I, nothingtoanyone, think old Shakespeary kinds of poems are _______________.
2) I, nothingtoanyone, have read ___ Shakespeary poems.

HINT: The first blank should probably be an adjective or adjective phrase. The second should be a number.
