the enigma

[Epmd607]

I know that, my suggestion is that sometimes you suggest to the writer a way to improve, via comment. I have left a few.

You suggest something I've been doing on this website for half-a-dozen years. That's why I take you to be a fanciful creature. I've been around commenting on Lit poets and Lit poems consistently and just because I haven't joined the recent PoetGuy enthusiam, posting, "Look here, Chap, that poem is stellar, went down as easy as a slice of aged gouda!" on every third poem, you take me to be a freeloader? I've read the current comments, because I've read the current poems. And I hold the opinion that you say nothing of discernible substance in your comments or reviews or message board posts.

And still, you're welcome to do all that you do and even comment and spam my thread and posts, because I assume there's someone who can decipher the jumble that you present when asking or answering a question posed.

ta-ta-ta
spam your thread???
Charge he said.
I said why?
You lead How much fucking clearer do I have to be.

Now you're idea of NPR, is a bit of paraphrasing of what the poem is and whether you like it or not.
True, there is a bit of consistency. I give you that. As for your taste, your value, well I'm not buying. It is a little too close minded.
No, I'm still not impressed.

As far as threads? looks like I started this one, I'm welcome to comment?
Strikes me as a little arrogant, don't you think?

Impress me. Get off your high horse and comment. Or is the limited audience you don't like?

Where are you?

True quantity does not equal quality. So are you going to make the point, what you posts far exceed mine, as far as quality. I don't think so.

Do you know I can say exactly the same thing, about you. If you where here 6 years, what was done?
Now I've been back a few months what I've seen is nothing but a rather bad reaction to what you perceive is your authority. You have no authority, nothing to show as deserving as respect. Contradictions and cheap little semantic ploys.
A wee bit of paranoia.

You still haven't responded to bflag's criticism. YOUR comments on New Poems are a fucking joke. There is no criticism or any discussion why you do or don't like a work. You're just meeting your quota for the day so you can continue in the poetry program. My authority would only reside in one to one interactions. I'm more knowledgable in poetry matters, either recognize and receive my gift or cease spamming my posts with your psuedo intellectual gibberish.

 

[twelveoone]

I believe your this above is your quote.
I look at your contradictions
I look at your cheap efforts of attack.
I've looked at your new poems recommends.
I've looked at some of your work.

Unfunny, pedantic, and rather pedestrian. Your idea of furthering poetry seems to be putting the word "pussy' in an otherwise serious poem. The 21st century?

Your contribution, in my opinion, is rather nil, and self serving, nothing wrong with that, but shrill and nasty.
I suppose your "contribution" includes that tirade against person that was nominated for MIP, about shutting her down. Missing the fact that she came on a thread, apologized, and said she didn't deserve it.

As for bflag, I did not see see that criticism, nor do I care. I don't care for "preachers". Especially when there is nothing novel about the message.
What was that that I've wrote nothing worth remembering, in a thread, but never in a comment. Sorry, not valid, in my eyes.

Have fun in the future.
I will.

As said before, I've seen nothing from you, comparing a new writer to one that has written, is not high criticism, or that insightful.
This is a ..., I don't care for this word... fuck off.
I take you as worse than a freeloader.

 

[vrosej10]

vers libre to me means, do what you want, just be prepared to work your balls off, take the consequences, and don't listen to jackasses. the paradox inherent in this once you work your balls off, now you don't have them and you join the jackasses.

All forms where invented by someone, they were modified. Turco was not divinely inspired by God. It is a guide. So when Frost screws around with a fixed form, Yeats creates, vers libre? Don't know, nor do I care.

You either work, or you don't.
It either works, or it doesn't.

Fuck the crusaders,

Verse Libre is fucking hard work. I try to listen only to my inner jackass but am prepared to entertain others if they are interesting enough...you, your cryptic self, usually are.

one word after the other, tie than all together, minimize the compromise.
to your own jackass be true, now think about it, a jackass, trying to lead other jackasses, how absurd is that?
A great braying in the wilderness.

there's a lot of eeyoring and general braying going on around here of late. We are all donkey's, just some more conscious of our innate donkeyness.

whoa, we are getting somewhere.
why should I be listening?

God, disguised as the muse, hath spoken to me, charged me with bringing the word disguised as blah, blah to the infidel, to convert, and failing that to kill, perhaps
Roll off the pulpit, preacher, I ain't buying.

But thanks, I had my laugh for the day. More than one.
Should go over and check out the new poet.

i'm not putting my oar in here, in the 'debate' between you guys, but i am querying this ^

there is no set quota, if you refer to Poet Guy's thread: it was more a concrete display, a push, to get people on here commenting and voting on poems submitted to Lit proper. it served its purpose, and has been fundamental in boosting the views/ratings/comments awarded. some of us, myself included, have voted and commented way beyond the number i have entered on my virtual form, also submitted more than i've notated. i don't have the time, or need, to continue to fill in that virtual form - i'm out there doing it, as are a goodly amount of posters here.

if you're referring to something completely different, i apologise and remove foot from mouth.

as for you guys, it looks as if you must agree to disagree and, as long as you both consider you're giving something of value to the community, then live and let live.

i'm not big on the whole sackcloth and ashes look either, truth be told...

In winter I don't trim as much. Luckily my back stays barren. There must be some women who like a hirsuted man...perhaps hirsuted women? She's just a hirsuted woman, looking for a hirsuted man. I wanna be your hirsuted man. -Mick Jagger

I adore hairy men. Hairy backs, butts, the whole nine yards.

I hadn't really given male body hair much thought until I found that it was a big turn on for my wife, so that worked out well. And my son has even more.

poetguy has certainly done more for the life of this place than non commenting crusaders.

And as far as my comments on New Poems being a fucking joke. Well as matter as fact, more than once I have gotten emails, Pm's, stating that some of them are funnier than the poems. Ah, well.
