What in the fuck does that mean?
I'm going to write whether you give a fuck or not?
And what makes you think this has
anything to do with sharing.
Where are you from?
AssHat, Montana?
When someone says
"Thanks for sharing"
I get that cold metallic taste
in my mouth like I've been binge-ing again
and have just woken up naked and
buggered at an AA meeting in
the Hollywood YMCA.
And Jon Bon Jovi
is thanking everyone
for his ten year cake,
and Barbara Eden's
copping a feel on me.
Please
Don't say
that.
I'm not a weekend poet
that's just arrived with a
message in a bottle
and a stupid fucking
umbrella drink with
a straw hat and camera.
This is where I live
asshole, thank you
for blowing magical yellow
smoke up my ass.
Fucking "cod".

Haha, who-ah! I agree whole-heartedly. Some lines ( in other people's comments) are completely uselessly mentioned and lame. But at least they read it, and hopefully meant well. Maybe it's habit they picked up. I said that stuff before, then looking at it in disgust thinking, why the hell would I say that?? All from habit of seeing it written everywherz.
Anyhoo. You are obviously well-respected for speaking your mind. It also makes me nervous to say what I do, hoping it won't become a rant in a poem...though I would be honored to be mentioned lol.

are you still gorgeous btw. edpeterson666 is melting on his page and his self portrait has got massive eyes and a drooling mouth thanks to bohb. he still looks dead sexy though. havent seen your photo around for a while are you in hiding? bring on more photos
-
thanks for sharing-maybe if they said hey! you made a connection and then why god that would make me feel so sick i wouldnt want to share...haha anyone who wants to put thanks for sharing please do not read my stuff. i hate thanks for sharing it makes me feel stupid like i shouldnt have bothered and that my words fell on deaf ears and never touched one bit of feeling or anything. its like talking to a robot. a lot of people are robots. thanks for sharing thanks for sharing this is how it makes me feel like i am talking to a machine one of those automatic answering machines.
-
thanks for sharing is just so alienating and patronising. it actually ignores what you have just said really and is dismissive..its off hand and isnt listening to the words just the sounds and pats you on the head like a good little boy or girl and in effect says thanks bye bye well done it makes me feel about three when really i am thirteen
-
nice peom thanks for sharing
-
my favorite:
"Keep writing!!"
--no....no really....that was my last freaking poem you stupid twat, Im NEVER writing again.
grumble

Always negative are we?....tisk tisk tisk...

Well I guess I am the real "Ass Hat from Cleveland" because I say that a lot, and yes, it may be that I attended far too many NA meetings. Although I am truly glad that people share their thoughts and feelings no matter how "raunchy, unbridled, stealth, and risque". I like your work because you do step outside the box. I have taken that step on ocassion but that's not what inspires me. You are the poet that I will refrain from saying that little irritating phrase to but I would like to thank you for this poem whether you feel like you shared it or not. Honest wording is penned throughtout and all that shit. Thanks! For not sharing then! Thanks for the ability to pen a damn good rant, and thanks for making me write this restrictive, inept comment, damnit!

Okay .. I'll take that.
-
I am the horse, I am patty smith's foaming horse.
-
LMAO .. yes .. yes .. I can definitely see the humor in that.
But respond to those you DO respect .. ignore the others. -
I rather like the "tonto"
(Who is the horse?)
And .. I've no problem with your poem at all, in fact, I like it .. it isn't specific to an individual here .. it is more a general gripe. If you make it specific by pointing them to it .. then we have a whole issue of "personal attacks against other AP poets" -- which changes it's category substantially. If the person doesn't complain to us, then we dont' have to do anything, if the person does, then .. it is hard for us not to respond based on what we've written on it. (Rule 3 in policies.)
In fact, we just deleted one for that very reason.

I mean, it's hilarious, could you imagine Bukowski spouting a rant in a bar, and someone saying to him "thank for sharing"? you might as well be saying "I'm sorry, I'm an idiot, and I don't know what the fuck I'm doing here"? I mean let's get serious, everytime I read thanks for sharing?I not only get the feeling that they didn't read it, but also that these people don't know what in the hell they are talking about. What is this a prayer group?

Easy there tonto, let's not over emphasize our position, this isn't the line into heaven. I think you're over stepping your opinion, and landing somewhere in 'totally irrelevant'. I'm not on your poem flashing my magical blue peter badge of placentia am I? No you're over here on my poem telling me what? If people say to me 'thanks for sharing'? I in turn can't share my opinion on their opinion? Last time I checked that poems in the adult category and this still is the home of the brave, not the home of the slave.

excellent....dammit
You know, ninety-nine point nine percent of the time I really hate what you're saying. I think it proves both the existence of God and that He has a particularly wicked sense of humor that I (with about the same frequency) find your poetry absolutely exquisite. So, I really appreciate this poem...by which you've delivered unto me both another horrible point of view, expressed with unabashed crudity, and with a poetic beauty that makes me want to gnash my teeth (and I'm not, by nature, a tooth-gnasher, y'know), and you've given me the means for my revenge. Thanks so much for sharing this poem (why should I be the only one to suffer.)
-
I understand that .. but, it is my job to try and make certain interactions on this site are civil.
-
You must think I'm here to fraternize? Lol, when I say... "I really don't like idiots?" I honestly mean it. The poetry world is riddled with hacks, morons, and magical yellow smoke blowers. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to write poetry, this isn't fucking church, and I don't have to smile and nod, you might, I don't, and if they don't like it, guess what? Exactly.
-
Umm .. I don't know if that is a good idea. :|
-
Yes but see, exactly, now instead of just refining myself to commenting on people that leave "thanks for sharing" I can hit command paste
and say.
allpoetry.com/Poem/533835
Still putting me two steps ahead of your two steps ahead.
Until someone champions the phrase and we go back and forth into oblivion. see? -
just file me under vulgar displays of wormismo...
-
I have to agree with edpeterson on this .. I really want to respond "thanks for sharing". But .. I won't.
The phrase annoys me, too. As does, "blessings" or whatever other overly friendly phras that strangers use and seems a little too shallow-nice. -
Big Bird taught me that sharing is good.
He even convinced Cookie Monster to give me half a chocolate chip he dropped on the floor.
You know, I think I've left the "thanks for sharing" comment... and am now hoping it wasn't on any of yours... I shall re-evaluate my usage of this phrase.
You want a half-eaten noodle that my cat swatted at and decided not to finish?

That was gross... seriously gross.

we only have cod over here so i have to eat it with chips even if it is a lowly bottom scavenger..once i bought one and it had all round worms in little cases. what happened was i found this little brown case in my fish and when i opened it up it was a long wiggly worm. and there were lots of other little cases that i didnt open i just ate around them. i think cod is very apt. i share my cod cos i like people saying thanks for sharing -i like them to have the worms and i just have the fish.

God damm you girl for sharing. Why don't you keep your stuff in a black box somewhere until they come in to clean up after you, like Dickinson. LOL. Just kidding. (Do you hate that one, too?) Sunny, from Asshat Montana..
-
The comments that have been exchanged here are very amusing to me. Almost as much as your poem, I love the way you used the smiley face for background. Nice touch. lol You got your point across. Aimee
-
Oh DevilEd, you're so impressionable. Like a mouldy piece of forgotten clay left on the potter's wheel. But thank you for sharing.
-
You realize, of course, that every comment on every poem that you write and post on this site, from now until the end of time, is going to contain the phrase "thanks for sharing".
-
schrod then? i don't know it's quite flakey and tender when properly dressed put to bed in tinfoil and slowly grilled, ed petersondamaindevilman.

Okay.. who rattled your cage?? you rant well Nephew.. heheheheh found this kinda catchy..could almost be a song.. take a few of the EFFS' and Jff'S out.. and it would be a good rocky piece.. mind you I am listening right now to John Martyn singing "JOHN WAYNE".. which is a weird song.. hehehehhehehehe
-
I've been worried about you lately?
-
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting. LOL
And God Bless.
And WOW. Good job. Excellent work. Hmmmm (thinking real hard for some more lame comments....)
Ooh. Great Work! Pen on friend.. (haha)
You are good, keep writing...
Alright, I am exhausted.
I feel your pain. I am sometimes torn between "no comment" or "lame ass comment." Not sure which is worse.
and a couple weak *stomps (yeah, I am pathetic these days. Just deal with it. I do.) -
I have to disagree here horus12345678. I think the ubiquitous "take care" is more offensive than the "thanks for sharing." At least the latter is not imperative in mood.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA. Whatever. I would like to tell bohb that adult does not help. It is not only teeny boppers that say, "keep writing", or "don't contract AIDS" but also the Christians that infest this site like worms. Whatever. Funny poem monkeyfucker. -
Ed, coming from a man that bears the mark of the beast, I can merely say, amen.
-
Well... At least there is an honesty in motel toilet paper you can't get anywhere else, you know? And you have a job (I'm sure you'll pass) was there a gun cleaning multiple choice question? Now that would be funny. Today, however, I have all beat. I went to an audition and saw a two month old baby named "elody" standing in her father's palm balancing there, like a poodle. I looked at the father and said "wow, why didn't I think of that?".
-
Wow!
I guess it must be important to you. Thank you for sharing.
Hhahahahahahahahahhahahhahhahhahhahmmuuuuuuupphhhahhaaaaaaa.
God...I feel better.
I have just fried my brain taking a US postal exam and I come home to this. Sigh. I should have stayed at the hotel and OD'd on a sanitary toilet seat in one of the generic bathrooms.
I have now begun to tag all my work as "Adult" so the teenyboppers won't mistakenly click on my work and leave "Thanks for sharing" comments. Perhaps I'll just write them on toilet paper (stolen from the hotel of course) and keep them in my pants (yah...various reasons for that, eh?) -- and then I'd never hear "Thank you for sharing".
I'm more or less done now.
Thank you for allowing me to share. -
Cod is a parasite ridden bottom feeder. Do not eat this fish.
I like the emotion in this poem, and the way it flows. You use really good metaphors, and similes and alliteration and...
well i just really enjoyed the write, interesting and unique.
With Christian love.
HugsXXoo
Take care.. and thanks for sharing.
I look forward to reading more of your unique poetry.
Take care. -
my only complaint is the negative reference to "cod." Cod is rather tasty served in a variety of ways and of course it's where i live. Haven't seen vulgar..nice to have him back. Did you ever get Bohb that sparkly asshat he wanted? or was it glittery. oh well. nice to be in some sun anyway. it is cold as hell here.
