Dear Ms. Sexton (Lyric) by <{Baba^Yaga}>
It's Summer time at the funeral You're so divine supernatural I see you there but you don't see me I'll keep on hoping we were meant to be But, we went crash, boom, bam I thought you knew we went crash, boom, bam I thought you knew how to love Someone like me It's Autumn now at the carnival I follow you there instinctual That lemonade sure stang your lips As I stare, at your growing hips But, we went crash, boom, bam I thought you knew we went crash, boom, bam I thought you knew how to love A fool like me It's winter-time at the festival Ice sculptured rows of chilled denial You're skating on the pond, with your new Bo You're so in love that I turn and go I go crash, boom, bam I thought you knew I went crash, boom, bam I thought you knew I see through Your transperacy It's Spring at last in the hospital I paint all day 'habitual' I'm better now, and so high above The Doctors cut out all our love It went crash, boom, bam I thought you knew It went crash, boom, bam I wish you knew how to love Border-line.. Serenity......

first off sweety bachus, is baba yaga, is horus 8, it's called being well rounded and style oriented, and the reason i was fucking cussing so much is because i don't appreciate spineless talentless cowards mentioning certain members of my family (my son micah) as being tortured and me as being homophobic if you like the song i'll send you a live acoustic version, just email horus8 an address.. okay okay.now i am going to take my family to the beach now, so that i can torture my son and put on my best homophobic posture, i have to laugh now of course cuz it's just so far from reality, but still my son is off limits to spineless lacklusters..who can't even control their weight let alone make an honest debate out of a topic.

Notwithstanding Bachus's rather crazy tirade, I think, Baba-Yaga, that you have stored up some bad Poemranker kharma, especially in your acid comments on Memorybabe's poems. Therefore let me come to turn the wheel...when you stop recycling Tom Waits lyrics, you can start to berate others for their poetic failings.

I hope everyone who uses this site explodes. It's all your fault, horus8. You weren't content with being a peddler of vaguness under one name; you use at least 3 or 4 that I know of, and all that's happened since then is people are confused since they don't know who to desperately suck up to and who to smugly but ignorantly condemn. How is the Gentry supposed to command the Peasantry if there is not even a semblance of order? You are a cad, Sir. Moreover, you are a talentless cad. And as for you, 'christof', could there be anything worse than someone who one minute smugly and knowingly drops a name in lieu of actual criticism and then gushes over whatever the fuck pops up next on his screen? I think there could. However, it would just be what I have just described but with a poo on top. Good day to you, Sir.

OK, horus8/bachus/baba yaga, you win, I can't be bothered with this split identity thing any more, you just keep on ranting in your clever/remedial way and I'll steer round it and maybe we'll both be happy. And Dark Angel - would you prefer that I hate everything equally? Surely one of the points of criticism is that you discuss a single poem on its merits rather than swaggering in with a predetermined persona dispensing shards of ill-formed and meretricious nonsense? And I said Tom Waits because that's exactly what it sounds like. Did you take exception to that comment because you don't know what I'm talking about?

Bleeding hell, this has nothing to do with Memorybabe - I just thought that, while you might not like her poem very much, there was no need to be so brutal. Just who exactly do you think you are? But now I find out you think you're at least three people, and frankly I can't be arsed to deal with your semi-literate Roseanne Barr-like affectations.

but since we're here are you implying that my lyrics suggest a tom waitish sound...cuz i still do believe you have yet to even 'hear' the 'sound' que no? or have you heard it?. doubt that...so what your saying is that "it"(my song about a childs crush on ann sexton) 'sounds' like tom w. but without actually ever hearing it ..yet...fascinating?, and how long have you been capable of this mind expanding anomally...you sir are definitely a cad, and an evil telepathic midget cloner....i assure you if you heard the song waits would be the fifth name that mouth popped not the first...the first would probably be...more jeff buckly, or leonard cohen, but who's to say really..i never took the waits thing as an insult anyway...i just despise assumersa

So it is song lyrics? Well funny. I read that, I hear the rhythms, I hear the 'crash,boom,bam', the carnivals and lemonades and Doctors and it all sounds in my head like Tom Waits. It would be interesting to hear you actually sing it to pick up on the Buckley and Cohen slant.

I liked the poem. Especially, of course, the title and it's relation to the 2nd to last stanza. The comments are well-written, funny/scary and I wish I had just a smidgen of your talent for pulling things out of your ass. "Look mommy the entire L.A. philharmonic"! Hows baby^yaga feeling today. no more 104 temp?

Do you have this recorded? I think this poem went crash, boom, bam as well. It's average...a bit cheezy too...5
