Hmm haven't been around the boards as much lately. I'll be up and around more once I get settled into my new place.
Jennifer~Thank you for your comments again. I'm running out of ways to thank you girl. :-P
Max-Rom~I loved your latest.
I'll have more comments later but right now me and a few buddies of mine have to lift an over-sized refrigerator up a flight up stairs....ohhh I can see all the band-aids now.
Take care and all that I-Hope-I-Make-It-Out-Of-This-Alive stuff.
-Jon
LOL Jack squoozy wuv..., I'm up for it man! Hehe, I'll try it on my g/f tomorrow. Either she'll eat it up or I might lose a few pride points. LOL...by the way great piece.
Take care and all that No-Jack-is-DA-MAN stuff
-Jon
Jack~This is one time that I don't mind the fact that my boyfriend never comes to this site.(He's not much for poetry even though he reads all of mine) No offense, but if he was to try saying that to me in a baby voice I know he could not keep a straight face for the fact that I would be laughing. However, if he said it seriously and in his own voice my heart would melt and I would fall in love with him all over again! It is too cute! Good luck to all the guys that try it and for your sake I hope your girlfriends can keep a straight face while listening.
Gala~What can I say....your poem was wonderful! You are such a great writer as well as everyone else on this board.
Jon~Your welcome, you are too sweet! Just simply saying thanks is good enough, it's short, sweet and simple and it gets the point across. I will probably always comment on your poems, you're a wonderful writer, you put your heart into your writing and you have a way with words.
Take care all, sleep sweet and sweet dreams!
Jennifer
Jack~I meant that comment in a good way. I really did like that, it was very sweet. I just know how my boyfriend is and what he would sound like talking like a baby. Ha ha ha! :) Just reading it made me laugh. So I apologize if it sounded mean.
Take care,
Jennifer
Gala---
those are SOME fireworks!
Once again,
you cross the line.
Hey - kiss my big red rhetorical BUTZ!
GUTENTAG to Jesus for dying for our sins...thank GOD somebody was willing to do it.
Love and marshmallow Peeps,
Feena Mint
By the way,
JACKRHYME...
you're a dick.
I got an inkling of an idea...a new challenge...and this one is gonna take some serious work...Imagine an anthology on the theme of Lover's Etiquette. Not like the Emily POst type---but a time when someone near and dear did something you regarded as heinous...or maybe you yourself.
Write a poem on that theme---nothing adds insult to injury quite like a person looking at you with a dumbass look that suggests they had no idea why you are ticked. So let's write the book, shall we?
BE SPECIFIC. Lying. Cheating. Omission, Or maybe my all time favorite---"I thought you'd be more upset if you knew..." This would go hand in glove with this week's question. And it's a great shot for catharsis and maybe a bit of closure as well...
So who wants to help write the Book of Love?
Sounds like an interesting idea Gala. We can focus our energies on that idea while other energies remain ignored and unanswered. (hint, hint)
Max-Rom ~ Of corse I noticed, silly! Your stuff is incredible, and when I don't get it I crave it!
scqueen ~ Conjured has put into words the way I have felt some nights. I have a black-eyed angel too. Mmmmmm.......

Hi everyone, I'm back.
so... FEENA MINT.. go play on the nearest freeway and leave Jack alone, he's mine!!!
JACK, you twat, I have just tried squoozy wuv... on the misses and 'A'.. got kneed in the nuts!!.. and 'B' told to " F******G GROW UP"!!!!! Cheers Pal.
lol wordley ... did you remember # one? and when all else failed did you refer back to # one?
umm oh ya as to the spelling prob. its JACKRYHME and yes i, quite proudly, am ... thank you
I expanded the book of love to my own site...and if I like the results, will ask you to post it for a permanant archive there...just posted my own...and BTW...multiples are welcome---so long as you switch topic!
Dude, Jack, too bad that requires you to have a girlfriend,
or partner. I don't think I can see it as a pick up line in
some crazy Irish bar. Just me tho..
;-)
lol Stephen.... wont know till you try k? hey if everything else fails to sway her... heck why not?
to JACKRYHME, No1?....if my face had been any straighter it would have been in a straight-jacket... must be an American thing, English women don't appreciate 'wuv' as much as our cousins colonial, again got told to "shut up and put your face where it does some good.. slurp slurp!!"

Happy Easter. I was HoosierDaddy and HoosierMama. My original intent was to rid this forum of the obnoxious individual who has gone by many names...OneNutJim, Derelict Daisy, Mark McNabb, Ophelia and Feenamint (among, probably, many others). Just wanted to get that out there in the interest of truth. Did I go too far? Yes. In the making of the omelete, too many eggs were broken (attacking jackryhme and the guppy). You'll note that all of these personas don't actually contribute anything...and yet they are allowed to stay. I did this because it was the only way to make this person shut up. And it worked, until, that is, my voice was silenced, as well. The whole time HoosierDaddy was allowed entrance to this forum, the other aforementioned false identities did not speak up. I say all this just to put on the record how an individual like this is most effectively dealt with. Take that for what it's worth. Over and out.
AMEN, sista! Oh, the humanity, the humanity...
Sorry, I meant to say AMEN Rhetoric/Jennifer. Oh what a tangled little web our darlin' Laura weaves in and out of so many people's lives...
If you're gonna pitch bitch fits, come clean about all YOUR little games, Ms Carosyrupoetry...
As I have so many times stated, perhaps this shall be my last. Idiots.
E-diots.
Laff out freakin loud.
Sincerely,
All Of The Above
Hey, I don't necessarily blame you. Everyone here, including the one at the top, has let you continue. It's the old "fool me once and it's your fault, fool me twice and..." etc. And you don't actually write much, do you? Kind of ironic in light of your past rants about this being a POETRY site. What a coincidence that none of your personae do either... Actually, it's no coincidence at all. Your talents clearly lie elsewhere.
Well, so much for people ignoring the oozing, pus filled wound.
sounds more like someone is on the proverbial

YES, HE'S BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
...but my dear Lone Rhetoric Gorgon, I propose that you and I and the beast work this out finally in a friendly manner, once and for all...over breakfast at a place known as being so kitsch (I'll even treat) Monday morning at 7:30 am. Be there or be your own same bad selves. Alone or in a sad sorry pair, either is fine. As in tomorrow.
Jimmy
Wordley~ Damned fine wordsmithing
Love.. Truth or video
if I do say so myself (which I do)
shark why?
The point is: why are personas such as HoosierIdiot booted off the Blender while our overeductaed hillbilly is allowed to continue unfettered? TJ, ignoring him isn't enough--because he's never gone away. He just keeps mutating like a virus, inventing new, more annoying personalities... In the past, all that's ever effectively wired his mouth shut (for brief moments) was playing the game on his level. Alas, for those who actually have a life this is an inordinately difficult pursuit to continue for any amount of time. But time seems to be all this individual has. If anyone has ever made a better argument for the premise that academics get paid too much to do too little, I've yet to see it.
so lucky777 ... how many sites have you been booted from?
Rhetoric has absolutely nothing to do with this.
Just wondered if anyone had any feedback fordesert flower I would appreciate you opinions you all have such wonderful talents...hayley
Stardust / Hayley ~ I did like the poem. It reflected the way I have felt at times. Nice.
Anyway All...I'm outta here for a while. (maybe popping in to check out the April Blender Picks) Not interested in reading the demented comments of sociopathic people who have found a niche for their lame-assed issues here on the net. It used to fascinate me as a new phenomenon, now it's just tired and boring. They know they'd get their asses kicked and their faces punched if they interacted this way with people in real life, so the only human 'contact' they can scrounge for is cyber-borne. Chicken shits. Negative attention is as good as any, and like the poor, deprived little children we all knew in school, they'll do whatever it takes to have someone glance their way (with hating eyes, or annoyed glares...no matter which). Sad. Sad. Sad. Catch y'all when the stench fades from the air.
Stardust: I liked the poem, but... I would try one wee change: remove the "it"s and replace them with "I"s. I don't know why by the rgular repetition of the word "it" is annoying to the ear, so spoken word artists generally avoid it. The poem is about what you feel, so write that. Make the simile a metaphor.
:) It was very evocative of the suffering and ecstasy of life in love, and the comparison worked for me! (Are you the same Hayley that writes in the PubScrawls list?)
Teej: I'll miss your thoughtful posts and your feedback, not to mention your *great* poetry, but I understand the whole need to get away from the neg crapola now and then.
As for anything else: I advise that we continue to post good poetry on the submissions board and co-operative feedback here, and simply not participate in any other topics of conversation in the feedback forum. It only encourages the troll(s).
If everyone were to speak only of poetry, the world becomes a more poetic place.
With love,
Briana Kassia
