Oh good god, yet another weak defense. The poem is boring in any language. I didn't lose anything in translation and quite frankly you sound rather ignorant placing me in a cultural generalization. The poem is a weak sentiment from someone who lacks the proper experience or depth to write a poem that has the force to move people. It is generalist. If it had the same title, was translated from Farsi, and was I good poem, believe me, I would be the first to compliment it. Do not bring cultural context into your defense. It won't work.

Re: Anfal: Our 9/11 happened many times over by kawakurdi	11-Sep-02/2:36 PM
Oh God/Allah/Vishnu please stop. You know you have an excellent idea here, but talk about long and boring and what a stupid title. I was not even interested until you started reeling over the names and that was almost at the end. Poems for political struggle are grand, but this is a weak, weak, did I mention, weak, first draft. .

Okay, this is the third comment box you have filled with web language. Cannot you make a real and valid comment? Do you also end your poems in I Love You?

This is as goofy as the last one. It has no umph because it has no valid experience behind it. Who cares?

This is stupid. A Haiku is supposed to be an image not some didactic attempt at a proverb.

Wow, you spent a lot of time on this goofy thing.
Re: 9/11 by dougsoderstrom	11-Sep-02/11:53 AM
A 9/11 poem on 9/11 with another 9/11 poem somewhere in here written by the deevil himself. I think it rather bold to try to minimize such a hefty theme into such odd schematics. I wonder if other great tragedies like the holocaust and such went through a period where the writing was generic and over generalized before taking effect in a more personal sense and thus developing its own genre of quality (albeit depressing) literature.

I think the 3 is really quite significant and if you were really a master of symbolism you would see that this is a deep personal masterpiece. That is all I know how to write, perfect poems, it is in my blood. And Beaker, what the hell does that mean. Make a better comment when you finally read genius.
Re: Ever Felt by nightii	10-Sep-02/11:10 PM
Oh I am afraid to comment because this poem is about drugs. Of it is risqu??. Jesus, Tar bog where do you live where they have that sort of fear. Well any, my problem is not with the subject but the fact that the poem is trite and one long rhetorical question. What are you trying to get at by asking the reader something? Especially when most readers will go, gee, no, why? Am I not hip enough?

Re: Words by PawnedTidal	10-Sep-02/10:13 PM
Sometimes you just get dumped. This sounds more like an angry ex-love letter, but I am not giving you a 0.
Re: a comment on The Writing Life by poetandknowit	10-Sep-02/9:45 AM
I like it better when you are nasty and fill my poems with 0s. Just like Frass.

Winged doilie? Why the pfft?
Re: a comment on Waking Up by PawnedTidal	10-Sep-02/9:04 AM
I never said it was about parents and I did not give you a 0. But if you are going to write an angry poem you could get the point across in much better fashion without using the profanity, which don't get me wrong, certainly has a place in writing - just ask David Mamet. But the sentiment becomes nothing but rambling, which ultimately comes crashing down as another teen angst poem. Geez, you even use the word anger in the poem.
Re: a comment on Oaxaca city fragment by poetandknowit	10-Sep-02/8:49 AM
Thanks for the catch Christof. I want to keep it in present tense considering it is only a fragment, at least now, in a series of fragments taken from doing work south of the border (US that is). The cocks (as in fighting), many are let loose and roam the streets, and pups (everywhere) have already gone by so what they have done, sniffed and pecked, is past tense, and what the women are doing is present and future perfect (butcher) I suppose. Quite the scene though if you are ever down that way.
Re: a comment on Russian Roulette by <~>	10-Sep-02/12:18 AM
I thought the hole was in him.
Re: a comment on Russian Roulette by <~>	10-Sep-02/12:14 AM
Put something in the hole, come on, we need more poetry that is sensational. Does she have a cat, put that in the hole or maybe the kid has a gerbil. That would do. But for a real shocker, have her put the kid in the hole. Like trying to use the life and blood of the toddler to put the man back together again. A Humpty Dumpty image, yes, that is it, a child's rhyme showing the loss of innocence....
Re: a comment on Russian Roulette by <~>	9-Sep-02/11:59 PM
You think the kid could fit through the hole?
