Hey how are you?  Send a gmail soon...I think we need to catch on heart and soul...the story hour.

-
never noticed it before, but i disagree with your therapist.
-
ew... figures.. there are always problems that evovle... especially when they are far from being needed >.<
-
Meh. Computer ate it. Had to buy new hard disk, have spent last 2 days making it agree with Linux ...which is fundamentally superior to Windows in every way.
-
Heh.. no worries... we all have those hectic, crazy times in our lives. How's your paper and all that coming along?
-
Ive not been on myself much. Move house next week to a temporary location and our furniture is going into storage so am mid manic packing at the moment.

Sorry to keep you on the line. Life is nuts. I am still breathing. Good enough for me.

Thank you for your comment on my page... although don't be in awe of the number of poems it holds. Most of them, in my opinion, should be deleted. A tumble of words that hold countless painful memories in them. A time gone by that (hopefully) I wont ever live through again. Theres a few poems on my page that I like, some that I am even proud of, but I do not profess to be a poet. I just play with words and sometimes, very rarely, I get it right.
I think a talent like yours is much more something to be proud of.
You say that you are known for your honest critiquing. Well there was a time a while ago, that I was known for just that on here. I cant read a poem that I dont like and critique it with rose coloured glasses, I always have to say in a round about way what I am really feeling about it. Although, I probably have more tact these days, but that comes with age.
I found myself on here again the other day and thought I may as well read a few poems and see how I felt. Its awakened the need to write in me again, although, at the moment the words are blanks... followed by more blanks, and I cant break the blockage.
Maybe one day I will get there again.
Thanks for popping by.

That "Sensitive Artist" thing is pretty funny
-
...you know, 'cause "raving" just has such a ferile Rrrrraaarrrrrrrrr to it. And I like that.
-
We've all got to stay sane somehow.  Sometimes insanity is the best means to that end. I left out "raving." What I meant to ask you was whether I seem like a raving egomaniac. You've already said no to the noun, but I'm attached to my adjective, and I've not heard the final word on it. Without the egomania, can I still be raving?
Thanks for reading my poem.

You could be considered and egomaniac... But I don't think of you that way... I think of you as that funny guy... with the randomness. =)

OK, so I do win gold trophies ...but not nearly as many as I should be winning. I mean seriously! I'm the physicist son of a psychiatrist and a nurse/social worker. That fact alone is enough to make me cringe each time I notice there aren't at least 50 yellow, pixelated cups on my page at this point. Throw in the fact that I grew up in Iowa, and ...I mean it's just inexplicable that ...I should be a GOD by now! Kevin should want to change his screen name to "Morgan." I'm even a "Gold" member, for crying out loud. Shit, and look at all of my poems! I run out of digits when I try to count them all.
There has been quite a rash of "You must really be that cartoon character" comments on my page lately, and all by people I don't know. I guess I do enjoy the attention. Yeah, I'm just basking in it. Look at that: If you go back and count the number of "i"s in this little message, you'll have to agree that I (another one!) must be an egomaniac. What do you think? Do you think I'm an egomaniac?
Please write back soon.

I never win gold trophies. My therapist says it's because I'm a bad person.
^that's so mean.
I love the randomness on your page.
But you lie! you have gold trophies!!!
haha
talk to you soon, (I hope)
-x-

I must say, you really sound like an interesting individual. I'm quite glad I decided to randomly click on your name. Oddly enough, your sense of humor and outgoing personality makes me think of my music teacher I used to have in high school..So eccentric yet full of surprise. Hmm...Yes, you seem like a very funny person. At any rate, I figured it would be nice to leave you a lovely comment on your page instead of acting like the "stalker" type and just watching you from afar (without allowing myself to be known). You seem like a great person..perhaps, in time, I'll be able to get to know you a little better.
nods
Toodles.

Think funny, yes. Not so much write funny of late, though, and I hope I don't look funny. That was funny. Laugh. I hope I am interesting. I do enjoy the laughing thing. Thanks for your positive attitude. Life is rough right now, which you'll understand if you read the column at the top of my page. I'll shut up now, and get back to writing my ()& %$^^%^?! paper. Namaste, Kumbaya, and Supercalafragilisticexpialadocious. I am a flexible hippy with a special umbrella and a spoonfull of sugar. Also lots of socks.

haha.. you sound interesting, Morgan  ... your author page had me laughing hard... love you for the same!!  ~parul

This is sick ima lovin it ya know

Just stopped by to wish you well...

Hey, Morgan! I've been missing you. Hope you're a doin' something else that's fun or productive or both or whatever you want it to be. Toni

Wow!! "Sensitive Arstist" is an awesome poem. i think everyone who is honest has had a moment like this where no one got your poems and your patience as an artist finally led you to the conclusion that you were from another planet far more superior than the one you're on now or else they'd understand the flippin poem!!
-
random hugs for the bestest poet ever. 
-
ohhh sirs. 
-
Aha, another cummings fan. I was begining to think I was the last one. I am also half of a husband/wife poet duo. Its good fun, isn't it?

Sir, you have got to be the most devoted critic on this entire website! I just thought I knew my way 'round a critique. I read one of yours on my AP Niece's (a n g e l) poem from a March contest you held. If you have not done so, may I suggest that you write a column - no, a series of columns on how to write a decent critique? Thank God; I am vindicated! At last - someone who isn't afraid to speak his mind and has no need to trash at random. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Best regards, Toni
ps. As regards a remark you made in that critique I mentioned, about pissing people off - I do hope you know that is inevitable on here. I regularly piss people off and I still find those who love and accept me - even if I piss off their respective AP family members. Some people do not know the value of honesty, nor do they know that they actually make mistakes. Apparently, you are not one of those people.

I love that sensitive artist thing -- hilarious. Reminds me of Beethoven or something -- or even myself! lol. Its not easy being so byronic.

I love the quote on your biography by Lombardi!! I never heard from you after I messaged you about Guate! Glad to see you posted. will comment.
-
long time no see, hope you are doing good sir.

I would like to thank you for reccomending my poem, friendships, to someone else. It means a lot.

Morgan, you're gold now? because remember that poem I helped format for you way back--(the plaguerist vs. poet poem)? I still have a copy I can pass over to you and as gold you can now set up it up as a copy paste directly into the poem text if you want. it will take to the indents and all.
lemme know by message and I'll grab up a link to pass along to you if you want. I still love that poem!

Hm. I've sat through a great many classes, and I do love to think about things. I even like to think I'm pretty good at it. Know what, though? That doesn't prevent me from being a big, dumb animal, and not a single one of those classes had a course description containing the word "poetry." What I know about that I either made up, learned from my wife (aka SolsticeHorse--read her, or you are missing out), or else cobbled together from the words of poets on this website. Since your critiques number almost as many as the dollars I borrowed from Big Brother this past year, and since pretty much everyone I have met on AP who can form complete sentences seems to have read your work (I thought "Dog Beat" was genius, by the way,) I'm going to conclude that where poetry is concerned, I'm the less educated of the two of us.
What am I saying? In my unseasoned opinion, you're legitimate (if contraversial) as a poet, and I know a lot about stuff that mostly isn't poetry, however curious I may be about the same. At the risk of gullibility, I try to assume the best in people. Despite the ravings of some I respect, you have seemed quite genuine in your dealings with me. Maybe that's a definition--I don't know. I choose to read your words at face value, and I thank you for your compliment, which I consider as a high one coming from someone who has written and read so much verse. Also, I really hope I don't look as old as my words apparently sound.
I think it's best not to define people. I can't see how it serves any purpose other than to save us all the trouble of really knowing each another. Thanks for visiting, and thank you again for your kind words. I wish you very merry unbirthdays between now and next month.
Best,
Morgan Edited on May 02, 10:50 because ''.

I thought you were in your 40s or something. To think we're almost the same age (I'll be 29 next month).
Perhaps it's "education" that defines someone, I have none, so I guess that defines me.

Hey, you won 3rd place in my contest, and the prize is 100 points. However, I can't give the points to you, but this is not by choice. Every time I use the donation points thing to try to give you your prize, it says something along the lines of "this person does not exist" or "remember to space the thingy's between Just and Be". SO, is there anyway I can give you the points, or would you rather have me continually featuring your work and/ or applauding them?
Congrats, by the way, on being so damn smart. I appreciate genius.

Above is a group I've recently formed together in conjuction with jaunty pill for writers we believe are talented and deserve to be part of a community of other inspiring and creative poets.
We hope you decide to join.

Well, you've posted it on my author page. Perhaps I might ... but only if you quit insulting yourself. That's supposed to be my job, rememeber?
-
I have seen some of your critiques on other people's poetry, and i think they're wonderful. You really do just dig right in, don't you? I think it's hillarious. I don't know why. I'm just warped, don't mind me. Altho, if you have some time, are bored, and need some aweful poetry to dice up, check out my page. I'd be honored to hear your oppinion of my work.
-
Thanks for the suggestions. I did do some editing and I think it still stinks but is all the more better because of you.

Yeah, I know rhyme isn't strictly evil. Hell, I used some in Crime and Conscience. I just keep that part because it's I like the subtlety of the jibe it implies, and because I almost never rhyme.
-
I absolutely love your first quote; phrases that twist meaning with intonation are so entertaining, neh? It's on a par with 'Eats(,) shoots and leaves.' I don't know, rhyme can be powerful when used judiciously. Unplugging televisions is all very well, but it's infinitely more entertaining to just destroy the remote... or feed the arial to the compost heap, then watch younger siblings wail in dismay  You have a ferret?!? I want one!! Stupid sensible parents... *grumble* Those lyrics just crack me up

Hah, I was thinking the same thing as Nick

Well you've won a gold trophy so I guess you're not as bad a person as your therapist says. lol
