Great idea (not new but still). The starts quite well: the 2.. 4.. 6.. 8.. 10.. 12.. 14.. 16.. 18.. 20.. Then 22.. 24.. still ok. And then 25.. and it is not readable/edible anymore, hopeless. I tried to force myself to read it, it is just not possible, too boring and useless and it pushes me away, all that talk-talk-talk, very unpoetic, unanything.Rybka said:There were a good number of poems worth reading posted today. I won't mention the works by this poetry forum's regular contributors, since they are usually well worth reading, but here are two by authors that I have not read before. I consider them both to be at least 4 s.

If you have they time, they deserve a read [and a vote].

(BTW, I am getting tired of "U & r". I am about to quit these short expressions. It is a pity though that they r not standard . Starting with the next post, no more "U & r" from me. I don't know about poems. It depends. Occasionally "u" or/and "r" works real well, in a pleasant way.

I like your shortened version...alas I wrote the current version long before there was so much debate over what is and what is not "technically" haiku.

I seriously thought about English adopting U E Eir Em. And "r" would be also nice. With "E" plus derivatives English would be more expressive. But I don't have much energy for any causes. (I made up a new language a couple of years ago but the crazy start-up company for which I worked had folded on me. It was depressing).Originally posted by Rybka I will use single sign homonymns in poems for effect, but I find their use in ordinary writing to be affected, not effective [no offense intended].
I instinctively dislike the eye winking emoticon ;-) and I never Use it. I have to admit that some nice people use that wink-emoticon routinely.- Emoticons bother me a bit also, [...]
Thank you, Rybka, for your good words. I saw too that my new submissions showed in (a very) small font. I didn't change anything. I guess, Literotica did. This inconvenience I can understand, I can go around it again. But Literotica has imposed on me titles for my poems, or rather they have botched up the ones which I have provided. I am very disappointed because it is not an issue of a technical mishap (as with the size of the font) but of an ugly attitude. I think that it is Koran which says:I always enjoy reading your comments, as well as your poetry. [By the way, your most recent poetry posts are in very small font size again.]

Why would they change all lower case titles to versions having the first letters of their words in upper case? Why do they bother? Why do they go out of their way to hurt poems? Why can't they leave them alone?Rybka said:[...]
I would suggest that the changes in our work are not because of an "ugly attitude", but rather due to an attitude of indifference, and or a lack of understanding of poetry. Improving the poetry posting computer script apparently has a low priority.
