Tristesse said:It is Sunday and fast approaching the "Season of Goodwill" so this in no way a shot at R/F alone but "tha" "n" and "lil" just make me move on to the next poem. Unfair? No, because someone else finds it cute and catchy and, in their eyes I'm the loser.
While I'm at it shouldn't it be "bows humbly" or "a humble bow"?
Angeline said:I don't mean to be difficult. Maybe the "season of goodwill" is starting to get to me. ee pointed out today that the people three houses down from us have a life-sized plastic Santa tied to a tree with a rope.
ee: (pointing as we drive by) Santa is tied to that tree.
me: You think they want to do bad things to Santa?
ee: I think Santa's done.
Merry Christmas!

I heard a getto boy came to town once, he disappeared 'n' ole Betsy looked like she had a rather large meal <bigrin>

Do you boycot M & M's ? You know I like ya' GrassHopper, the Shakespearian poet, I find that the 'thees' and 'thou's' are distracting...perhaps the same way your uncomfortable with country slang. I find them to ADD charactor and spice a poem with something a 'tad bit' different which I see so many asking for something out of the norm. Dare to be different.
I for one enjoy the 'country charm' of RF'S writes. Like most poets her more serious poems are 'Grammar' correct 'n' 'tha'.... fun, silly, play with words are 'tha' cats meow 'n' poetic writ's.
just my opinion <grin>

TheRainMan said:They certainly aren't obligatory (is that what you mean by 'de rigueur'? Compulsory?) where I come from, nor where RhymeFairy comes from, I'm pretty sure. To me, in her poetry, they read as someone who is trying to be something they are not, streetish, a sort of poet wannabe street punk. They don't read 'natural' when she uses them.
I haven't seen anyone here use 'thee' or 'thou' yet, though I suppose they are lurking about somewhere.
bogusbrig said:I was just being playful.
When something sounds artificial and superficial I think its worth pointing it out to the poet. Nothing more off putting than affected language.
As a local saying goes 'if tha ever does owt for nowt do it for thee sen.'

My Erotic Tale said:your new...been here less than a month with 15 posts and over 5 poems ...yet talk as though you been reading folks here enough to judge their poetry?????
I would have to guess another anonamouse or another angle in the sack <grin> We are talking one poets style that they are comfortable with and makes them unique ...but of course the task to perfect every one, must over ride reading some one that does not write as you... I heard it said in another thread that if EE Cummings was posting poems at lit they would probably be thought to need improvement and perhaps be more clear of their poetry...so I tend to enjoy the unique and it seems that most here all have different styles and different avenues of thought, I am almost certain not every likes everyones poetry <grin>
