Fulmer" Subject: ET: poetry awards, a theory, and the antagonizations Hey everyone, How are you all doing? Someone had said that they missed receiving comments on their poetry. I know I personally do too but ok, like all of your poetry Rocks! I know a lot of my poetry is not exactly stuff they'd quote on a Barney episode, but it's got meaning and I've been trying to vary the style a bit to make it good. Annie, Claudia, Cymbaline(your real name is Kelly right?), Naomi, Courtney, Tara, Stephen even. Janadell I loved your "A Kiss" poem. I just went like "Awww!" and sighed when I read it. There's a lot of good poets and songwriters on this list and I don't know about most of you but it's difficult for me to send out an email a lot of the time. Even when I have a poem, I have to find sufficient time to type it out and send it to the list and usually I don't get to a computer until late and I don't feel like it then. Just know though that none of your poems are bad in that poetry can't be bad. I personally believe that because if poems/songs can be bad, who is the authority to state what poems are good and what are bad. I mean, who is to say that Shakespeare is good and "Roses are red, violets are blue, you are beautiful and I am jealous" is bad? or that Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" is good and Britney Spears "Hit me baby one more time" is bad? I'll try a bit harder though to tell someone if I really am touched by their poems. Also, I will comment Stephen and Cymballine for their poems antagonizing each other because I thought a couple of them sounded funny, however I believe poems carry more energy than real speech, even if the statement is indirect. Please don't start up another name-calling-fest :) Thank you :) Well, I'm off for now. Take care and Have a most excellent Day/Memorial Day Weekend! :o) Seth D.

If I was alive during the 60s or 70s, I wouldve been a groupie. Song of David (for David Gilmour) Laying in a field of green staring at the moonlit sky; hypnotized. Stars twinkling, blinking, winking at me, shining down, carressing me. I like it here all by myself, alone and isolated with my thoughts and the echo of a voice filling the air, with a beautiful, melodic sound. He is a god. Indeed, he is. His eyes... his lips... he is an image.. a symbol of perfection. His song embraces and captivates me He steals my soul; I will not ask for it back as long as I hear more from his sensuous lips. A child, with only a dream, am I, to dance in the starlight, in his arms. He dances in spirit; I dance with air, his melody moves over me swiftly. With closed eyes, I twirl around in circles. My arms, they turn to wings. My feet are lifted off the ground, and just like him, I learned to fly. 1/98 cymbaline ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 23:47:52 EDT From: BRONCOBAND@aol.com Subject: ET: pity party well, i've done it again...let my own desires rule over my common sense...in a mess...guys...why do i crave that attention so much that i dissreguard others? --because I am a bitch...the nicest girl at work and yet deep down this is me...gold plated trash. so now what do i do? these people see each other every day...these two guys...at work -- i have to work with them both. To admit to my behavior is sure to make one or both my worst enemy...i have to work with them...do i lie? : That would be cowardly, wouldn't it? I should have just cooled it off with the first one when i knew it wouldn't work, but i didn't because I am weak -- a coward -- and I didn't know what to say...i didn't have reasons really, i just wasn't enthusiastic. Excuses. Anyway, so thanks for letting me babble...I know I am terrible...god i don't know why i can't just keep myself out of these messes...
