Re: a comment on House of the Risen Son by livingcanvas	18-Sep-02/10:56 PM
damn, i reread what i wrote, and it was pretty ignorant... i seem to have a really bad habit of writing out of spite in a moments notice... and then once i actually look at what i said, i realize how petty it was.... (kind of like how i always feel when i look at that stupid poem 'why') anywho... thank you for your insight, and maybe i will critique some more of your work... hmm... not a lady? alright, my mistake....
Re: a comment on Why... by livingcanvas	18-Sep-02/10:53 PM
wow.... now, i am impressed.... i have made the lowest of the low, and for some reason, with this poem, i honestly am not ashamed of that.... i know this poem is horrible... why i don't delete it? hmm.. i guess so others will comment... noone seems to like to leave positive comments... so, i post something so utterly rediculous that you can't avoid smacking the hell out of it.... so.... thank you!
Re: a comment on House of the Risen Son by livingcanvas	18-Sep-02/9:10 PM
Yes I am. And I had to change some typo's I had noticed. Boy, it seems that noone really likes this poem though. Oh well... If you don't like it, that's your opinion. I am not really all that worried about it, this is not one of my most prized compositions.
Re: a comment on Why... by livingcanvas	18-Sep-02/3:13 PM
Sadly, I wrote this... and I am well aware of how horrible it really is... Why i don't delete it I just don't know!? But thank you for your comment none the less...

I just always type grama out of simplicity. I do understand that technically it's not correct, but I am not worried about it from an artistic point of view.

hahaha... it's cool... my own mother just called a few days ago remembering it... now i remember why we don't speak...
Re: a comment on In Vein by nentwined	12-Sep-02/11:49 AM
i understand if you do use extensive vocabulary. but also, i think that you should understand that writing is best conveyed when it's able to be read by most 'average' readers. however, i did still enjoy your poem, and thank you for your kind response, and for acknowledging my recent b-day... =) two big respective thumbs up to you.
Re: In Vein by nentwined	12-Sep-02/11:36 AM
i hate people that sit down with their thesaurus when writing. it's too easy to notice too, noone really speaks like this. i like your poem, but come on, stop trying to impress people and just write. 3
Re: To Mother by lynnstratton	1-Sep-02/10:37 PM
i would recommend reading this to all i know. absolutely beautiful. very well versed as well. i appreciate works that people write in memory of family. your mother would be, and i'm sure she is, very proud of you. 10
Re: Atlanta to Albany by powerline	1-Sep-02/10:14 PM
this is by far one of the greatest works i've read on here yet. unfortunately, having just read a suggestion you made about how people who don't write 'as well as others', should not be allowed to post as often or as much work as those who do, by which i presume you meant yourself, can post their works. i am both amazed and ashamed. i thouroughly enjoy your writing, and yet despise your idea and the pride behind it. it doesn't take a silver tongue and 8 years practice to come up with a good poem. it takes a simple cooperation between the brain and the heart. and my friend, even the slowest of 6 year-olds can accomplish that. i will judge your work fairly, but if given the i would not judge you the same. 8/10
Re: If I'd Never by PawnedTidal	1-Sep-02/9:24 PM
well written. personally, i think there are too many "if i'd nevers", but i just think that it kind of jumps from thought to thought. but very good job none the less. the last stanza is very strong, you ended on a very wonderful point.
Re: To a Comet Passing by Frass	10-Aug-02/10:22 PM
personally, i only like the last line. but hey, way to go anyways.
Re: The Nude by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.	9-Aug-02/11:55 PM
one of the dumbest things i've ever read. not even worthy of a vote really, but i'm going to in hopes it will lower your score even further. technically i shouldn't vote a 1 because at least you wrote something, but no, it sucks too bad to even be 'something'. congrats on being the holder of the 3 worst poems though!
