but it wasn't real cool

[K&D]

it wasn't you, it was me.

strange reply
sitting here shaking my head
jeesh

My post was intended to be humorous and a little philosophically challenging to a degree. Just having fun.

But yours? You think your reply is funny just because it has all those laughing emoticons and a wink at the end?

Sorry.

NOT.

[Lightning Rod]

it was surely philosophically challenging

ooops, I feel an emoticon coming on

[stilltrucking]

To paraphrase Nietzsche,
"who has time enough for experience"

or
what i said here before I edited.

"once a pickle never a cucumber again"

[Doreen Peri]

"philosophically challenging" was supposed to be funny... glad you laughed

It was also supposed to be funny when i said i didn't learn anything...

that was the funny part

what's not funny is trying to imply that i'm a stupid person

so cut it out

i don't have time for this shit

[stilltrucking]

whatever it was
was it creative?

I do not have time for experience any longer
but it is good that you are grateful sweetwater.

That is all we can do
be grateful
for our education
they can't take that away.

sincerely

its interesting and I hope people see light in this (double entendra)

its funny Rotheke had that poem with women and their wanton ways (he measures time by the way a body sways)

but sometimes i think maybe its the men who are wanton, eh doreen. its just thats not what society measures them by.

men, you can't live with em....you know the rest.

smile, wink- wink wink smile (this is for Dor)

posting because wanton is a complex word not that i though anyone might not know what it meant, i'm just covering all basses. i had to look it up myself to make sure i had right def.

Alyson, that is one of my favorite poems in 20th century American poetry.

I Knew A Woman

http://gawow.com/roethke/poems/122.html

I think it might be one of the perfect poems

[K&D]

Its one of my favorites too forever! since i was very young.

weird eh? I knew it before I knew it (well actually truth be told genders a construct and so in reality it could have just as easily been written about a women)

but for whatever reason i find women a lot harder to understand then men, in the best way possible.

i too have come to masure time by how a body sways...often in the opposite direction of me

wanton is a great word and i will use it in my next poem!

L-rod i kind of stole from him very recently "something like I felt it in more places then one..." what poem was that in, one of the ones i wrote, its not an exact quote but i find more in more like T.S elliot or early Morrissey, i just string some of my favorite misqotes together and there you have it an true Aly poem.

[Lightning Rod]

I find that women are much harder to understand than men too
that's why I am eternally fascinated by them

my sickness is that I want to understand everything
it's a curse

my favorite lines are these:

'I swear she cast a shadow white as stone.'

and

'Love likes a gander, and adores a goose'

[K&D]

my fav

I nibbled meekly from her proffered hand;
She was the sickle; I, poor I, the rake,
Coming behind her for her pretty sake
(But what prodigious mowing did we make.)

and of course

I'm martyr to a motion not my own;

I think my most recent poems have been about following swiftly behind something i don't understand but desperatley want to....but alas

one thing i know from being a women, it isn't their responsibility or duty to give up anything. My first boyfriend, he didn't get this, he wanted me to teach him and the feeling was not mutual. its got to be a mutal teaching learning thing...curiosity- never a duty.

right thats the difference between eros and thymos- friendship and erotic love....erotic love just is...thymos is a little bit more noble.
