So I did, and it's here

What do you think of some of this stuff... Some of it is rather interesting, while other stuff makes me wonder if he was drunk while writing out most of this....

I had never saw it before, so it was interesting to read most of it.

man, this is crap, has he ever tried free verse rather than forcing sh1tty rhymes?



<< One day to the next day
My life goes on in agony
Cause I love you so much
Cause your heart is so big for me tremendously
>>

He told me to ask :D

Ya, I was going to &quot;try&quot; to fix up some of them, but hmmmm, I don't know...

I think the first few suck, then latter ones get better, but still, most are forced rhyming...

You should tell him that poetry doesn't have to rhyme...just let it flow...poetry can't be forced.

Everyone born in the last 20 years thinks poetry is just about rhyming, I blame Dr. Seuss. He corrupted the minds of youth with his perverted rhymes and his hidden sexual messages. Yeah, there was one fish, then there were two, and they were fvcking!!! I'm on to you Seuss, dead men always have something twisted up their sleeves.

On an unrelated note, I did not mean anything in that post and I love everything written by the man known as Seuss, excepting hop on pop, poor pop :(

I once knew a man
That was taken away
He had the gentalist hand
That anyone could say


LOL!

Whoa...when I first read that I thought it said &quot;genitalist hand.&quot; I was like, &quot;WTF? Did he masturbate in public or something?&quot;

Yeah, righ. Your friend wrote this huh? Your friend asked you to make a webpage for him, and then ask the people you hang out with what they thought? Sounds fishy to me. Your friend isn't by any chance named Paulson is he?

lol, thinking back to my public school english education, it is not too hard to wonder why. the probelm with lyrical poetry (rhyme scheme is an aural invention) that rhymes is our english language; our endings only produce a limited number of possible rhymes. the french language offers many more possibilities...

notice I didn't comment on the actual work of this poet; poets are known to be sensitive!

It's not me.

I don't write poetry, I hate it.

My friend is my neighbor. I was at his house last night and we were down in his room playin music, and I found his &quot;poetry&quot; binder or whatever. He asked me if I'd put it up (since he's too stupid to use ftp and html)

And if I would have did that, it would have been under my own site

Anyways, I'll tell him everyone just loved his poetry :D ;)
