Homecoming

[Lightning Rod]

there was a poem here?

[Doreen Peri]

however, most people that haven't a clue fear the thought of participating. it's akin to the same fear that the homophobes have towards gay relationships and, now, marriage. they have a problem seeing beyond their fears and lack of knowledge of this subject or any other subject that worries them.

[enough]

wow... well.... I didn't have a clue and really don't care to read up on it like you have, cecil, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of it.

I have cornered Fear.
He is held captive in a scalding bath
while I lie nude on tile, sweat cold
between my breasts.

>> FEAR

[mtmynd]

wow!

[Doreen Peri]

Sorry. I'm a slut. Just took the opportunity to link to my poem about Fear

Apologies.

Oh and just because I'm not afraid of it doesn't mean I'm gonna do it.

I may be a slut when it comes to poetry but that's as far as it goes.

lol

Dor' : "Oh and just because I'm not afraid of it doesn't mean I'm gonna do it. "

I believe you. And I better not ever catch you doing it, dammit!

[Lightning Rod]

doreen, don't ever lecture me again about hijacking a thread

scott, as to the poem

I give it a six for beat
a seven for dancibility
as far as subject matter:
whatever blows your skirt up

[Doreen Peri]

doreen, don't ever lecture me again about hijacking a thread

I've never done that before and I won't do it again either.

But now that I've hijacked this one, I might as well keep posting to it.

thanks LRod, how did you know I like to wear kilts, they are the best (regimental of course) and thanks for your grades, I respect your opinion.

Doreen mentioned the beat early in this thread. I have never actually read out loud except to myself. Some of my other rhyming poems seem much smoother to me but I'm not a musician so I doubt my abilities in these areas a lot. I can, however, feel a beat in this and read it without much struggle. i saw a criticism of the beat in one of Doreen's poems earlier in the week and she responded that you have to hear her read it. It was a revelation of sorts after hearing her read it how differently it sounded when she placed emphasis on words that I did not.

I would fuck a knothole in a tree if it had hair around it. But to make excuses for adultery by having an organization is just a bit much for me. Why don't you just call it what it is? Cheating with consent.

<<<adding knothole fucking to my growing list of fetishes for LRod

as for adultery and making excuses...ok we'll change it to cheating with consent just for you..... but you must remember that the majority of fetish play involves no sex at all as traditionally thought of. Sex play is actually a very small part of the fetish world. Some folks like to dress in leather, some latex, some get off on tickling, worshipping feet, needles, suspension, electricity, some like fire, some like to dress like big furry animals, some like golden showers, others are turn on by smell ...some dress in diapers...bootblacking, shaving, some folks get off on being flogged, whipped, caned, other just like to be cuddled, the list is a very very long one and growing every day (see above note about knotholes).

It is common to see monogamous couples who only play with one another. There are other monogamous couples who seek out specific partners to share a certain fetish that they might have that their life partner does not share....then, of course, there are those with open sexual relationships where the fetish involves something sexual. However it takes a lot of non traditional shapes. For example, you might be surprised how many people have abduction and rape fantasies, etc. Usually there is a board set up ahead of time where you can sign up to participate in these types of specific fantasies and there is a person who manages and organizes it...everything is consensual and safe sex practices are required. There are monitors who over see the whole process to insure no one steps out of bounds and woe be it to a person who tries to assert their will over someone without consent. Negotiation is the centerpiece of the fetish world.

scott,

Please know that I don't care how you spend your spare time.
you must have a lot of it to get into these kinds of diversions.

My main notation was that I don't understand why you need an organization to legitimize whatever it is you want to do or fantasize about sexually? My secondary point was that I have found these types of novelties to be singularly boring and hollow. If you need to look there for amusement then there might be something missing in your personal relationships.

It's sort of like Mensa. I've never understood Mensa. Why do people need an organization to legitimize their 'genius?' It's hokum as far as I'm concerned.

If you believe in dressing up like a schoolgirl or using meter-long dildoes or dying you pubic hairs magenta, go for it. I don't care. But don't try to justify the behavior that you are obviously defensive about by saying that just because there is a convention for it, that makes it ok.

If you are secure about it, just do it and shut up. Methinks he protesteth too much....

One of my fetishes is being direct.

[gypsyjoker]

just curious clay
you write about poetry quite a lot
your opinions of
what it is and what it is not


Clay wrote on another thread

How a poem sounds is as important as what it means

and

Final test of a poem---how does it SOUND?

from here

I thought it sounded pretty good even if I could not relate to the subject matter. What did you think of it as a poem?

My fetish must be curiosity
Color me a dead cat.

[Lightning Rod]

I hope you know how much I love you, jack
I don't know if you would call it a fetish
unless brotherhood is a a fetish
but I respect you like Tim Russert's peers respected him
you do your homework
and you are never mean-spirited

I think the poem was passable
most of the edges were square
still I ask myself what was there?

[gypsyjoker]

I consider you my best enemy here, well I have so many but you are definetly one of them. The Sioux had a saying about a man's power is measured by how powerful his enemies are. . A mangled quote from the movie Jerimiah Johnson.

I repect you clay, in the same way I respected those combat veterans I trucked with. They seemed to know me so well. And you have always been kind about my non sequituring, tolerant of my rambles. Showering me with benign neglect. gracias



I just wondered why you making such a big deal out of the content of the poem. And also thinking about the young ones here too. What they might think of it.

The poem gave me the squirms to tell the truth, maybe too close to home. but if it makes the poet happy to write about it and no one is hurt why the hell not.

Is it true, does scott really go to those gatherings or is he just writting about them. Does it matter?

We all got opinions and plenty of orifices to express them, not so?

You got yours I got mine. It is good we can exchange them in a friendly fashion.

Friendship is my number one fetish, practically a religion for me

[emel.scott]

LRod, leaving my magenta pubes out of this for a second (have you been peeking under my kilt again?) and getting back to the poem

most of the edges were square

can you help me understand what you mean. Are you talking beat, image, wording, everything...
