Steak and Satin (Free verse) by Dovina
Tiny pearl earrings, delicate and black, concealed in flowing hair. Dainty ankle bracelet, almost hidden in lacy folds of broomstick skirt. Moving curls, tickling shoulders, induce seductive smile. I slip a shoe, slide a foot on side-calf soft, slither a hand to sense neat shape of knee. My little secrets. Sitting straight and proud, wearing nipples as jewelry, sensual, alone, with maybe a watching eye.

Up the ladder: Just For Two
Down the ladder: Both Sided Acrostic

Nice streotype depiction. Sorry, I won't take the bait.

yes it is. Now please comment on the poem, how you react to it, what you think it says, what you agree with or disagree with. And what do you have against voting?

Really, must I keep nagging? Will you never listen? It's something dignified and Christian. I'll give you one more chance, and if you're close, a Busch.

re: "Your pattern is predictable". The original subject is resolved; our conclusion is you have no leg to stand on. Except in the course of resolving that, you've made like 10 other egregious social and grammatical blunders. Which are as follows:

1) People who are Republican are less likely than non-Republicans to own passports. Do you agree with that? Passport ownership isn't a definition of Republicanism, but it is related. Don't think I'm changing the subject. This is called an analogy.

2) No, you wouldn't.

3) To that I'd add, what is any discussion of race good for?

4) You didn't say the black race and white race are widely different. You said "the most different race from his [-=Dark_Angel=-'s]" and "about as different as it gets". Surely even you can make that distinction.

This content filter is so frustrating. I can't even get on comments-recent anymore. Someone's bound to get the idea to post a bunch of scatology and fillibuster me.

I've got a third one but it's for sitting on.

Predictable,in line with the pattern. Thanks for the demonstration.

Look, all I ask is that when we have a discussion, you stick somewhere near the opening topic. You usually pick up on some side issue, and get so stuck to it that you won't even listen to my suggestion that we get back on track. It's so easy to criticize on issues like wording and implications that your comments on them are hardly worthy of rebuttal. Anybody can find a little flaw and magnify it. The harder and more constructive thing is to stay with a topic.

I'm sorry, we were talking about racism. Please retract the following: "negroes, the most different race from his [-=Dark_Angel=-'s]... about as different as it gets", so we can continue this conversation normally. It's a very easy thing to do. Here, I'll make it even easier:

---------------------------------------------------------

I, Dovina, without reservation or qualification retract my statements of 01-Nov-05 to the effect that the black race is the most different from the white race. I did not mean that there is only a wide difference between them. The black race is not the most different from the white race.

Until you do, I'm afraid we're stuck on this nightmarish tangent. In my defense, I thought this was going to be resolved a week ago.

If you really had integrity, you'd do it. As things stand you've Hitler's integrity, clinging to the death to some groundless, hideous, arbitrary notion. When you wake up and find what a bunker your ideology's reduced to, you're going to shoot yourself and everyone else in the room.
[n/a] Dovina @ 209.247.222.89 > zodiac | 7-Nov-05/7:16 AM | Reply
The hideous and groundless thing here is your insistance on dwelling in a side issue of no importance. What will happen when you wake up and realize?
[n/a] zodiac @ 217.144.7.195 > Dovina | 8-Nov-05/5:44 AM | Reply
If you believe the black race is the most different from the white race, you are a racist. The original topic of this conversation is whether -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. is racist or you actually are. I don't see how I could be more cogent. In addition, your insistence on talking about whether or not I'm talking about side issues is itself a side issue, and of no importance.

The original topic of this conversation is not whether -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. is racist. Try again, and actually read this time.

You've been here long enough to know when -=Dark_Angel=-,P.I. says 'I'm racist' he really means 'you're racist.' No excuses for not getting that one.

PS-Can I ask you a question? Do you believe - that is, will you say, today, irrespective of past conversations - that the black race is the most different from the white race? Imagine if you will a blank slate. Yes, I'm letting previous topics go, but you have to admit we didn't seem to be getting anywhere on those. The new topic is the question posed above.

I see now that your passion will never subside. You will clutter each and every poem, mine or not, until I give in to you and answer why I said blacks are the most different from whites, or retract it. Well ok then. I now commit to doing that, but it will take some time which I don’t have now. Perhaps this will abate the onslaught.

In the first and second you need to bring out more of the body part and less of the decoration. Lose "induce" altogether. The rest seems to move nicely.

Now. would you kindly tell me who put the lefsa in my pants?

Wow, a comment on my poem. This can’t be Poemranker! This site is reserved for gut punches and shin kicks to the poet, the poem being there just for openers. Still, I see your wanting more body parts and less decoration. Most men do. It’s a girly kind of feeling I was trying for here, not really designed to be seductive to men. Still, a few men out there understand this sort of female sensuality with ourselves. And, no, they’re not all gay.

As for the lefsa in your pants. I must first ask if your mother was preparing Norwegian Potato Lefsa in the kitchen while you were doing chin-ups on the counter.

Solly Cholly. My mother is not alive. Nor was she Norwegian. The only time I've done chin-ups, was when I kissed pavement with my chin at Concrete Curl skatepark in Aurora Co. Mid, Erm, 70's?

And I haven't had anything to post lately, can I have a shin kick on credit?
