Man what a landing where are we now? puppy, you're bigger! How, puppy, how? you're not my puppy! speak! who art thou? prove you're my puppy do me a trick if you're my puppy you'll fetch this stick! there! go and fetch it? a bone? are you thick? Man what a landing the system is blown Bazooka is broken but I'm not alone I've got my puppy and I've got this bone The sun was born, so it shall die. ~VNV Nation, "Further" |

Interesing, very very interesting. I have many ideas as to what this poem is about. All of which seem to contrast brightly with each other. I had to read it many times to even get a slight crasp on the idea. Well done. |

 I didn't say it was a bad game. I liked some things of it, but Secret of Mana (and Seiken Densetsu 3) was better. It can't be! |

Ya.  I thought the symbolism in this piece was incredible. I believe that the puppy signifies the downfall of modern civilization, and the narrator has found joy in this gift. The bone: a mere accessory to the madness bestowed on a young traveler. Keep up the intensly magnificent work, my dear.~Carly Many miles behind my eyelashes, there always seems to be the strangest things, the slightly sane, that only I can see...

What a landing indeed, Allan. I was expecting hellfire and brimstone from you on this board, but I've yet to see a single post about Mike... It looks as though D-Day was cancelled.. Either that or else it was held in a different forum... "If history is to change, let it change. If the world is to be destroyed, so be it. If my fate is to die, I must simply laugh" |

Secret of Evermore is a VERY good game! I recommend going through it with the Aerosmith cd "Big Ones" playing the whole time. It's gives it a MASSIVE replay value! Ughh, there's one spell I got the first time I played,a nd I can't find it anymore! There's also a spell you can get in the forest :-) I have it written down somewhere, but it's a SWEET fireball :-) "Some men see things as they are and say why. |

How can you get a game out of this poem? Heh. Interesting, Allan. Very interesting. I liked the symbolism. Nicely done. Thanks for the read. --Marie It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. |

I liked the ending, but as for the rest of the poem....I didnt quite like it. Seems we're playing a guss-the-game game.... Sounds fun, but I don't play video games. Anyhow, nicely done. The ending was great.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
