Re: Atheistoxity
[ QUOTE ]
Wiiiiiiman has been pwned but if only this he'd knowned, he'd toss god on a dung heap and dare take the atheist mind-leap. (apologies to Phil who really did do a fine job) [/ QUOTE ] Phil has a unique talent. His writing style is pure poetry even when he's writing prose. I realize this obsequiousness is off post, but then I think Mr. Man has retreated. |

Re: All-in a gay
Um, formal poetry has a thing called meter. Almost all of the above are godawful.
For instance: Why should I try, were all just gonna die, ' - - ' - ' - - - ' my body will decay, my loved ones tears will dry. - ' - ' - ' - ' (-) ' - ' The second is a passable (though not especially fluent) line of iambic hexameter, while the first line is a complete shambles. Nor is it matched by much if any hexameter in the rest of the poem. Basically, this is a very poor poet mangling syntax to produce cheap rhymes, with no sense of the #1 feature of poetic competence, metrical structure. Phil: sorry dude, but your version is hardly better. At least you don't have the hubris of the original "poet" and fans of his belief system, to think the importance of the belief justifies spreading such literary junk. |

Twisting words is not my game I was looking to be fresh. The final stanza I really liked I thought it would impress! Shakespeare said that poetry is music made from words But rhyming poems seem to me Like squeezing out some ... But threatened I am not And discussion I'll oblige But you need to write in prose And bring an open mind... [/ QUOTE ] lol awesome |

Me like, Phil, although you do have to give Limp Bizkit credit for the original cookie-nookie rhyme.
