Ok...Ess pulls out words from time to time...so I checked the dictionary just to make sure lol... I don't see a stetch in there...so it really must be 'stretch' (which does make sense) but honestly? To me, this poem is a stretch... it just doesn't.....gel?  K |

But now's here Forever my dear and never done.  I like it!  Although it would look better with the "R". |

I very much like the profound, simplistic imagery of your poem. It really is quite artistic! [however, i first read it as "SKETCH."] Grover. |

You all are so optimistic. I interpolated it originally as "stench". A reflection of my worldveiw I guess. |

I think I like the original better too, especially since you got your R back Same rhymes as before but it seems to have lost its spontaniety. |

Say what prayer, amulet or gear may shield one's arse from Severn's spear? Who may escape it where it flies what arse ever out run her eyes? Has sunray pierced fathom so deep? has dream dug so far down in sleep? wounds are merry when Beauty sends woe is wellsome, and ache amends [This message has been edited by Essorant (02-03-2004 09:53 PM).] |

first a missing R, ("THIEF!"), now a new verse to go with it. Me like! I think that people (except for the author of their poem) should have access to the edit/delete icon doncha think? I am a member of www.poetrypoem.org (where i got my homepage at) and the maker of this site should do that, i really think so, that way you don't have to worry about tamperere's. but overall i like the poem. |

i give you props for doing the three liner. i didn't think you quite pulled it off though. it was good, don't get me wrong. i just thought it didn't have the lasting effect one hopes a shorter, one verse poem could have. i think you were onto something though, i think a few more verses may solve your problem. |

But then it wouldn't be a three-liner, would it? |

no it woulodn't be a 3-liner. its actually prettty good just the way it is. "Changing what is meant to be, changing yourself to be like the cool, means killing the self-being, and killing yourself" Phil. Phil |

The problem is that 'now' is describing two different events... is it begun and done simultaneously? That's hard to swallow. Maybe 'Once begun' or something else to start out with? I dunno... I also got the gist of time flies with this and I don't really see it being rpesented in a new, or interesting, or fresh way... there's no real spin I can get into here. Hope I've helped. |

The delibrate original poem is overshadowed in this case by Essorant's (presumably) spontaneous later effort with Severn as his "target". That really came across as raw, humorous, without artifice, and skillful. Too bad outside this string of posts it would be meaningless. To harness that energy for a wider audience would be E's challenge. |
