I like to write poetry, and stories and when I'm not writing I'm usually working a sixty hour week. My time is limited and I would rather read good poetry than listen to others that feel they have a moral obligation to force everyone to view the world through rose colored glasses. Drive by post, moving on. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My Friend, A sixty hour a week work schedule is quite a heavy load. In Jamaica , a forty -hour per week is the norm. Not many companies offer over-time work with extra pay-hours.,and never in government services. I recognize that you dislike forums, However , I sincerely hope that you will continue to share your poetry with your Friends, and others, on the OP. site. Jobs are becoming scarce, in USA,. My brother in California was out of work for many months MY brother-in-law,in Miami, is jobless even now, after several months. The condition is no better in Jamaica. I hope that your job is permanent, and that you are enjoying it. My regards. LOVE, PEACE and CONTINUING ENLIGHTENMENT. Last edited by cousinsoren 10-27-2010 at 04:09:08 PM |

I know that most will say, "If you don't like 'em, don't read 'em." The only problem with that declaration is, I have to at least begin to read something before I realize that it is another dismal real-life, gory, blasphemous piece. Oh, there are a lot of poets here who still give us some wonderful pieces to enjoy, but, woe, there are some who seem to be leaning toward the occult...............If any of my friends notice that I haven't commented on their work lately....well, it is probably because I am displeased with what they have been penning..... I just wanted to get that off my chest......... Thank you for listening............................................................gogant G, If you want to live in a bubble, then you have to buy a bubble blowing pipe. Life is everything the poets on OP write about, it may not be your life but it's certainly is theirs and theirs to write about, and we must honor their feelings, emotions, and words. It's a good thing that we have you and your poetry to keep us lighthearted. dah  ************************************************************************************************************ Dah, . Your reply to the complaint of a few of us, including myself, is very reasonable. THANKS |

I usually try and toss 2-3 poems per day up on Twitter, but I've been reluctant to put some of the dark poems up. Some are ok, but some might scare some people lol -Papa Paczki &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& A few folks, primarily Americans,. celebrate Halloween , over the years ,in Jamaica. It has never taken on among Jamaicans,although we adopt many American lifestyle and culture in the island. Our kids and adults prefer to dress in costumes for the annual Carnival, which is an awesome event.. Papa, Let us not be weary in well doing. Let the Dark Poets and their fans have fun . It's the season of Halloween. Last edited by cousinsoren 11-02-2010 at 02:01:59 AM |

But now I am up on this stage Can you guess my age? I have no girl friends Because none of them wanted to dig me up I’ am romantic, and play music by ear, My last girl, freaked out with fear because I left my head in the piano And then I dumped her, And wiped my butt, oh You should’ve seen her face I never won an award, or a contest just a Deadication I was almost killed before I died, doesn’t count right? I was hit by a truck, and I filed a law suit: I cried I lost because I had no leg to stand on At the hospital I learned a few sick jokes But I won’t tell you them because they’re to long I learned all these jokes from your children Let me tell you about heaven, hell sucks Every one is burnt, I hate burnt brains Heaven is to be filled to the nasal cavities with all of God’s best-tasting creatures and be wheeled out after midnight satisfied in my digestive triumph The majestic feast of artery clogging Brains brings a greasy smile to my face Then I want to sit and drink Pabst Blue Ribbon beer And Reminisce, about my previous diet of dear Seattle has fine restaurants, all kinds of walks of life So many homeless there, looks like a street buffet Ok my last joke; is it a BBQ, our a cook out? You all figure it out, because it doesn’t matter to me I’ am just starving Thank you for the good night….. I’ll tip the waitresses……. And the lights go out……  &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Bravo, WordSlinger, Your satirical ribaldry , in well written vibrant poetry, ( Clownish when you want to play the clown with a purpose) never fails to offer a bellyful of rib-cracking, riotous, rollicking fun and laughter. On with it, GUY! We need humorous poems badly, like how a dog badly needs to get rid of fleas,...LOL>, There is not enough laughter being generated on this site. I intend to install a Poetic Humour Forum on the OP site in 2011, with poems, limericks, local and original jokes, humorous jokes, poetic anecdotes. riddle, proverbs, poetic chit-chats. amusing cooking recipes, etc, etc, You don't have to apply, You are invited to be the chief raconteur and chief toastmaster, master chef, waiter, errand boy , host and bottlewasher.

RE: RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???Quote: Originally Posted by cousinsoren Gogant has made it very clear. No offence is meant.

Those who are asking for more of the gentle type of poetry, have no right to object to other types, and we are fully conscious of that. We wish not to be misunderstood nor taken out of context. There is not "a serious absence" of gentle poetry on OP. My feeling is that you are hanging out with the "wrong friends" as in, time to make new friends, or support the friends you have through their trying times. |

RE: Where have all the gentle poems gone....???I fully understand what Gogant is saying first and foremost I'm not gonna rip or shred or demean and this will play a little into what Dah has said as well about making new friends instead of bickering and debating point of view which common sense tells us is pointless when poets with "gentle poems" see this thread leave a link for Gogant and cousin and whoever else wants to peruse and like I said this will play into what Dah has said because this to me would be a good way of how new friends are made. So I leave on this well done human race well done for even with the simplest of subjects ego and self could not be overcome to find a logical solution. |

Hem your shortest skirt three ( 3 ) inches shorter, though it is now Autumn , and leaves and hemlines are falling, and sit on the throne as "Queen of Humour". You have earned the crown and sceptre, with your first strike on the yet unborn .Humour Thread. Post a picture of you sitting on the throne in your abbreviated skirt, "unexposed" , "exposed" or is it "unopposed?"

A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
