This poem is semi-autobiographical.

This poem is clever and insightfull on approximately thirteen distinct levels. Until you can understand at least the first seven, I suggest you refrain from commenting on this site.

Excellent.

Without a doubt, ?-Dave_Mysterious-? is very amusing. My confusion arises from the fact that our Dave does not have the air of a newbie. He seems very sure of himself, and acts as though he knows the character traits of the existing users. Either he has been observing quietly from the sidelines for a long time, or he is an existing member with a new username.

Certain similarities with -=Dark_Angel=- but no clear indication that they are one and the same person. Besides which, they have very different obsessions.

I assure you I am not -=Dark_Angel=-, though I have collaborated with him on "A Haiku Haiku". -=Dark_Angel=- is about 4'10" with a peg-leg and a tic. I have none of these predicates and therefore cannot be him.

As for the charatcer traits of other poets, these are easily estimated from the knowledge that they like poetry.
