    I stopped by to see how you are, but I can't tell.

    Umm...I just read your comment on When the Radio is On. It was a true story. Just so you know. It doesn't offend me that you weren't all depressed like I was because it was my dog, not yours. I tend to have a sadistic sense of humor ( most often seen when I read Ima Jincs: Prologue, my friend and I laugh every time because we're horrible people) But thanks for the comment and what not.

    I hope all is well… although I guess if it isn’t I won’t hear… but just a small note to say I’m missing the ebullient style of the General that saved Europe – and that I hope all is as well as it might beˇ! Lame – indeed, but none the less sincere for all that.

    If you mean the site needs more bitter old men who aren't very good poets, than I appreciate the compliment. Though I have met a few people on the site like me and I didn't like them.

    Why hello!

    I just happened to read the whole 'FireNymph vs. CantHideTheseScars' battle and I just wanted to stop by your page to congratulate you on everything. When I say everything, I mean the time you took to politely correct lesser, in-the-wrong posters, the professionalism you handled it with, and the overall care and compassion you felt towards FireNymph (obviously) to help her out.

    Well, I’m off now, I just felt I needed to say something to someone so obviously concerned and passionate about making AP a better place. We need more people on this site like you.

    <3 Hastings

    In reply to silica.
    Hunyadi is the last name of a famous general in Hungarian history. Janos is his first name. Last names are given first so he is known by Hunyadi Janos. The S is given a sh sound and the J a y sound. So it would sound like Hun - rhymes with soon Yadi rhymes with body. Jan rhymes with gone and Os rhymes with gauche. I have a hard time getting past intellectual games that make my poems sound forced and uncreative. Most of my poems the words are more important than any meaning. Of course it is nice to have fun and be playful with words but poems are not very interesting when they are only playgrounds for the author's mind but the rules of the play are never mentioned to the reader. Besides the rules to many of my poems are like the rules to my last contest a labyrinth of confusion and unnecessary complexity.

    I went through a period of only writing poems about sex and I am currently in a period of only writing about mental illness or being fucked up so I figure my work as a whole will get tedious. In the period about writing sex poems I did write one good one that I am pleased with. I think I just wrote a good mental illness one in “To be or not to Be.” But it is too early too tell. It is only been a day since I wrote the original and I have only done three or four revisions so it can probably use a few more. However, I plagiarized all the best parts from many of my previous mediocre poems. So it is not totally new. More like the fermentation of a couple of months of writing.

    The new poem did give me a chance to use the word copraphagic which I learned as a child when I read the unedited Gulliver's Travels. The comments about the author said Swift was copraphagic. After learning it meant shit eater, it was one of my favorite words as a child. Good book besides and I never did understand why Swift ate shit. Perhaps I should reread the story as an adult and actually understand the satire. I figured I would mention this since you mentioned Swift in one of your comments. I always loved his “Modest Proposal” I once wrote a tribute to him about solving low test scores in the United States by shooting both the students who failed and their parents. My principal at my school did not find it amusing unfortunately. On the other hand I would have found it amusing if he decided to implement my proposal.

    By the way the idea of Nan Tuck being a woman is one of the funniest that I have heard in a while, I wish I had thought about that and used it in my limerick tribute to you. I agree that limericks are a fun change of pace when trying to compose masterpieces. Besides just because they are relatively easy to write doesn't mean that some aren't very clever. You will have to complete the limerick about Nietzsche. I quoted him twice today in my To be or not to be, definitely out of context to make my writing look pretentious and intellectual. Thanks for all your comments.

    Thank you very much for the gold and the points! But even more for the very kind words… I am well aware that limericks are perhaps the candyfloss of poetry, (although I think high queues take the main prize!) But I do try got get them to work as well as I can – there are some very classy ones littering the interstices of poetry books… like detritus in Descartes’ derriere, or the nap in Nietzsche’s navel… It also works as an antidote when the ‘major’ work threatens to rise up and strangle me like a rhyming kraken!

    As to the rules… well I did enjoy but think you should turn all that talent and effort into a ‘real’ write! Oh and while I have your ear… where does the nom de plume come from? Espanaż?

    First let me just say how much it means to me that you would not only read so much – but that you did so with such care as to find my feeble typos! I never mind any kind of critical comment – sometimes I do not agree but always see it a complement that any one reads so closely – that you seem to like it as well is even better – lol. The plot does all tie into one (I believe) ‘coherent’ story – but since I only had one person read it I have rather left it hanging and am now intent on finishing Driven before I come back to this one.

    I have been away for a few days to the other side of the country but I will try to catch up with responses over the next week or so – if there is anything you would particularly like looked at please leave a list in IM or on my page and thanks so much for the read – it is still quite raw but I think it will buff up okay… thanks for the help!

    On my poem about the Monkey's there is no hidden meaning I believe (But I might not have) that I put in the author's notes I did this in english class...I was asked to comprise a poem by starting with a line of my own then for the next choosing a line out of a page of lyrics from different songs and then switching back and forth. So basically I just threw it together to get a laugh...I hoped this helped you and thankk you for all the compliments on that poem!
