Dear boy, you are the most paranoid, hypersensitive person I have ever not met. Do you know how many poems I have inspired here (I believe this one is #5). I am honored. But when I am asking you questions they are not loaded, so have a drink, settle down. I thought truckers were tough guys with a ton of hair on the chest. I shave all mine off, legs too, so see, I am really just a wuss. I just wanted to know if you preferred the tuck stop ice cream or the porn? 10-4 good buddy. Horus8 will not save you so maybe you should learn to say fuck you. Get out that poemranker rage. Please do not take it on the road. My favorite part of the poem is the mic feedback. Hey, geat stuff. Did the wife like it. Everytime I read my poems my wife leaves the room. Guess I will be losing yet another one. Oh well, keep on keepin' on, good buddy.

It was intended to be a complete square, but it dragged all the way over the page. so I broke it up for poemranker. and you are right, it is horay. 1, 27 without a proof. If I proof, it may shoot to 1, 30. And of course yours are better. They take 10 minutes. Write one under a minute and see what you end up with, eh.

This is merely a tribute poem written in honor of your speed writing pal Tintagles. I actually clocked myself, which frightened me, I think.

I (in the most non possessive sense) can dig it, but the ...s are killing me. Can't you number these things or something? Do you have something against that? I need clarity.

Does this mean you are coming to Denver? Have you been listening to Def Leppard or Steppenwolf. Are you lookin' for adventure or whatever comes your way? 10-4?

Well minus the predictability of your bud razorgirl simply wanting to be on the opposite side of my viewpoint and going with the i-swear-it-is-a-word girl, this argument is pretty much a no brainier. Limonade, do you Newfies say "eh" a lot?

In Barcelona, you can pay to watch two lovely people perform live on stage for you. It is quite a beautiful sort of thing. And stunningly arousing. I had to hurry back to the hotel room. Good thing it was only next door. Ice cream at a truck stop tastes different than ice cream from a store, so it will not do.

I think we all need a little tug tug now and then, eh?
Re: a comment on There is no end by INTRANSIT	13-Nov-02/10:47 AM
What does that mean? You do not like truck stop ice cream? Or watching two people have sex when you are lonely on the road? Over and out.
Re: a comment on There is no end by INTRANSIT	13-Nov-02/10:26 AM
I was driving my grandmother from Florida to Misery in August. There were four of us in two cars and I was the only one under 80. But anyway, we had a CB to communicate with one another. Old folks do that sort of thing. And I almost watched your brethren with 18 wheels take out my grandmother's 84-year-old sweetie a few times when he poked out into their lane stuck in cruise control. Anyway, on the CB we heard all sorts of rants, especially sexual, which made my granny and her gang blush. Was that you? Are you an OTR pervert? 10-4. buddy. I like the truck stops for the ice cream and porno booths.
Re: a comment on One Country by poetandknowit	13-Nov-02/9:44 AM
Wow. I could have used that advice six years ago in Honduras when I was do hungry I looked to the bottom of my shoe and put what I though was old gum in my mouth. Well let me tell you those dried mushy dead snails on the coastal beaches may look good and at first have a nice taste, but they pack a punch indeed. Maybe pollution, who knows, but you will wind up in a third world hospital three days later with a staff of student doctors who only speak tribal Spanish poking and prodding at your thingys. Where were you then, oh, you were only 10. Damn. I could have used you as my errand girl and Shin as my driver. Limonade could have been my genius dictation girl. Of course, the embassy was 600 miles away and no one was home.

I thought we already established that I was gay and wanting of you. It is Settle who truly loves you though and wants you to be first and last. You are the Madonna/Whore of poemranker. Take a bow.
Re: Few Words by Tom Colebrooke	13-Nov-02/9:12 AM
What are you trying to prove here? go back to writing about football and spare us your goof rants.
Re: Child of my Buttocks by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.	13-Nov-02/8:54 AM
Why it is Settle and DA himself that is who. How sad DA, how sad. I didn't figure you that way. Maybe you have died and someone took over your user name.

Re: a comment on One Country by poetandknowit	13-Nov-02/8:05 AM
Thanks for the hug! And I do not live in Kansas City. read "What Went Wrong" by Bernard Lewis. You will impress all your friends with you profound insight into the Middle East situation. Even limonade. Call her today and tell her I am being nice to you! And if you do not look both ways before you cross the street, you may not have such a long life. There is a bit of fatherly advice to go on for the day.
Re: a comment on Cancer Haikus by poetandknowit	13-Nov-02/7:56 AM
Actually, I love constructive criticism, but I would still like for you to be gentle with me. I am an old man, you know, and you young girls give me the shakes. Ummm. Gnawing on your leg. Let's keep this a secret from the boyfriend.
Re: a comment on Cancer Haikus by poetandknowit	13-Nov-02/7:54 AM
I absolutely disagree. A poet should try to tackle and make sense of everything within their scope of experience, no matter what emotion is involved. Read Sharon Old's "The Father" or David Ray's "Sam's Book". How would the Jews have made any sense of the Holocaust had they not sat down with pen and paper? Using the haiku in this sense was a way to simplify the emotion as it was being experienced. Thus, it would limit any form of emotional rambling and still help me to figure things out while experiencing emotion that would steer longer poetry straight into sentiment. Thus, working in the haiku I had to think in a limited format and that thinking stunted much of the sentiment, while keeping any emotion on a bare bones level.
