Real dudes would not say this. Undereducated dudes at the piss trough at a football game would be more apt at saying this. Please, for future reference, do not lump us all into the same category. I for one when using the word always complete the gerund and never place a consonant behind it. It is beneath my dude heritage.

Re: Triangle of the Courtyard Square by OneFingerAnswer	24-Sep-02/6:15 PM
I suggest a threesome. Problem solved. No more curses. But the poem, oh yes, the poem. You manage to keep the whole he she, we, see, me, I bit intact and relatively clear, but I just do not feel the desire for the boy across the way or the remorse for the girl. This makes me think you really do not care and that transcends on the reader. Reply X

Pretty good stuff. Are you really z's friend or are you z. Do you garden at night? Are you prettier than she? I need to know these things before we go on. Anyway, minus the fact I tripped up over the caps on each line except for beautiful, which I thought was unnecessarily blatant, this is a fine piece.

Of course it is only an obvious attempt to exact revenge that has made him(being ASTRO Glide in this context) look like a bigger idiot. Except to maybe you nentwind. And fair use or not, I have some lovely lawyers who are quite the sharks when it comes to this sort of thing. But such is life. Let the kiddies have there fun.
Re: Father worked Nights, Thats why I am fucked up by bigbigdog	20-Sep-02/10:41 AM
Have I hurt your feelings so bad that you attempt to make even a bigger fool out of yourself than you already have? Because you are a plagiarist, most people will not see these poems, but I will direct everybody to bigdog's revenge against Poetandknowit. Everyone, come hither and see the bigdog disgrace himself further. It is like self-flogging, self-humiliation. I do not need to do it, because he is doing a fine job on his own. It is lethal and yes, most of it is stolen. Now that I have your computer number I will be more than happy to have my lawyers call yours. Shall you just give me their phone number?
Re: a comment on Tugboats by poetandknowit	20-Sep-02/10:14 AM
Whether you know the author or not the work was not yours. You knew that and yet you still thought it humorous to post it as your own on this site. Then let your goof of a friend drag his pathetic self into the fray. It is about one work: plagiarism. Look that up! I have contacted the estate of Ogden Nash and informed the owner of this site (who is a dear friend) to reveal your ISP. The proper authorities will be contacting you soon. Good day.
Re: a comment on Tugboats by poetandknowit	20-Sep-02/10:10 AM
Oh yes, your reason continues to show exactly how clever you are. It was not a joke and you know it. And the only people who might think this resembles something to laugh at are underdeveloped weasels. I am sure you and you canine friend fall into this category. Where exactly do you get patriotism out of this? Again, I will tell you what I told your friend. This has nothing to do with self-promotion on my part. I know I write well and have quite a successful career producing work that is my own. On this site, I am also well respected and I also realize this. Besides this is not about me, it is about your friend and now, I guess, you. What is funny and pathetic is that you defend him, because he surely cannot defend his own honor. Therefore, it is a question about self-respect. I have it. And you sir, have none.
Re: a comment on Tugboats by poetandknowit	20-Sep-02/9:49 AM
Dear sir: In your pathetic lifetime as a plagiarist you will never write anything even close to the stuff I tossed in the litter bin long ago. This is not the site for your tomfoolery. You claimed to write it when you posted it under your name. You did not say, "Hey, check out this poem by Ogden Nash." You know what you intended and you were caught. And you are a plagiarist hack! There is no excuse for you or your actions. Write something original or get lost. Simple as that. I am the Poem Police. Remember that next time you try to rip off another persons toil. Have you considered shooting yourself? It might help.
Re: a comment on Fleas by bigbigdog	20-Sep-02/9:20 AM
Why are you an idiot? Tell me. It is not about like or dislike. Do you not get it with your peon, underdeveloped brain? Do you understand what plagiarism is? You must not be a writer. Only a fuck would make any of these ridiculous defenses: "Sue him." hahahaha/ Please, go the way of bigbigdog you mindless toad.
Re: a comment on Fleas by bigbigdog	20-Sep-02/9:02 AM
So we should just all steal others work in the name of our own self expression. Are you an idiot? And because we do not believe in blatant plagiarism, which is a major crime at most universities, you make some wild assumption the "we" do not get out much. Where did that one come from. Is your work your own or did you still it from Frost or Doybns. Geez. Do not defend his actions you stupid fuck. Why don't you leave also?
Re: a comment on Full Fathom Five by vulcan	20-Sep-02/8:55 AM
Ah yes, the Victorians. Coming to terms with melancholy. Reformists? Dickens! Wilde! Huysmans! I must say, I do like Tennyson (I want Lord in my name) but I prefer Carlyle (although the were both elitists). He is the only poet I have ever read that could put "pusillanimous" into a poem. Now there is talent.
Re: Glassblowers by Christof	20-Sep-02/8:48 AM
My morning Christof and one of my favorites!! Were you in Branson, Missouri. Glassblowers everywhere. Damn, you even have birds in glass, impressive. The last stanza is one of the best I have seen on the site! Excellent stuff! Now to the poo...
Re: a comment on Full Fathom Five by vulcan	20-Sep-02/8:43 AM
I loved old Jude boy although I wanted to slap him, and the Mayor was quite a read, but the woodlanders, crowd, tess and the like...well...zzzzzzzz.
Re: a comment on Regime Change by Nicholas Jones	20-Sep-02/8:39 AM
My favorite part of this website (next to people trying to label poetry) is when people write a relatively weak poem in regards to 9/11 that is harshly received (and yes personal attacks were made due to the subject matter I suppose, but I stuck to the poem) and then make a come back like, "well, okay you Americans lost so many people, but 5 billion people die each day, so there." What kind of logic is in that? Why must you bandy peoples lives? It is quite odd, but you are not the first to do it. It seems to be a natural reaction coming from people.
Re: a comment on Tugboats by poetandknowit	20-Sep-02/8:28 AM
bigbigdog: everyone on this site has the ability to read my 'about you" without out you wasting space in the comment box. At least you bothered to put quotation marks around it and did not claim it as your own writing. Why are you still on this site you stupid fuck? You are a plagiarist. The lowest of the low. Are you mad because I caught you, exposed you for the freak you are? Do you think coming to my poem and giving it a 0 is somehow going to assuage the ridicule I place upon you. Find another site. One full of teeny poopers and take your worthless self there.
Re: a comment on Work by poetandknowit	20-Sep-02/8:22 AM
Mate...My favorite aspect of this site is when fellow writers come on board and say something that cleary is poetry actually isn't poetry. Like you have all the strict definitions crumbled up in your pocket. Must we continue to make statements that show our preposterous knowledge of poetry? If you need me to explain why this is poetry to you I will be more than happy too.

Re: Fleas by bigbigdog	19-Sep-02/12:29 PM
Okay, fuck face it is one thing to be an idiot and have no one know you are, but when you display what a fuck you are to the world, well that is another story. You hack, you fucking rip off aritist, you fucking thief, you fucking plagiarist. DO NOT STEAL WORK FROM POETS, especially OGDEN NASH and claim it as your own. This is RUDE and FUCKING WRONG. This poem, one of the shortest ever written, has more profundities in it than you could ever think up in a lifetime. You are an insult, a worthless fucking trite of a human being. And if you do not die soon for this action, I hope your life is miserable just the same. Nentwind, we have to get control of this shit. Delete this poem.
Re: a comment on Fleas by bigbigdog	19-Sep-02/11:15 AM
hmmm. I don't know. I love this poem. I am always trying to find a way to match the sounds and pack so much into so little (hence bein' vegan). AND THEN THIS FUCK comes along and puts it on the site as his own. I am no proponent of the death penalty but this calls for a lynching!
