I disagree that Ozzie Smith is the greatest SS of all times. He only got recognition because he did a back flip and played in a SS deprived National League.

RE: Adios Amigo's

lol, I hear that, Im a Shawn Dunstun fan a Cubs SS,
No it says that in the video, the best one I could find.
The analogy is Ozzie rising out of poverty, and as for
Poetry, poetry is looked at as a lost cause art to most,
and that bothers me. There is a thread here about
the newspaper industry and what we said,
Its still an interesting discusion.

My intensions are clear to make this site even better.
If I have to do it alone so be it, lol
You all do what you do, and let me do what I do.
lol, as I cut the paths. lol

Poetry is the supreme Fiction, madame.
Take the moral law and make a nave of it
And from the nave build haunted heaven. Thus,
The conscience is converted into palms
Like windy citherns, hankering for hymns.
We agree in principle. That’s clear. But take
The opposing law and make a peristyle,
And from the peristyle project a masque
Beyond the planets. Thus, our bawdiness,
Unpurged by epitaph, indulged at last,
Is equally converted into palms,
Squiggling like saxophones. And palm for palm,
Madame, we are where we began.


I love that poem, one of history's best.
"Madame we are where we began"

but we will be heard and written down helping to change, record and encourage others in our own humble special way, the poem may be fiction, but we are living breathing POUNDING HEARTS, SOULS AND SPIRITS, using our mighty pens to change the world. We are what we are and we are unique and special. We think in rhymes and meters to tell the world of how things are from our hearts and souls and we WILL leave a lasting memory in the hearts and minds of HISTORY to come. What would life be like without poetry. Can anyone answer that question?

great post darling..love ashagrinsmilewinksmirkrolleyestongue laughtongue rolleyetongue winkkisskisskiss

"Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside."

"A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser today than he was yesterday."

"Blest paper-credit! last and best supply! That lends corruption lighter wings to fly!"

"A wit with dunces, and a dunce with wits."

"But blind to former as to future fate, What mortal knows his pre-existent state?"

"Act well your part, there all the honour lies."

"All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body Nature is, and God the soul."

"And all who told it added something new, and all who heard it, made enlargements too."

"Aurora now, fair daughter of the dawn, Sprinkled with rosy light the dewy lawn."

"In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me."

"Beauty of whatever kind, in its supreme development, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."

"I wish I could write as mysterious as a cat."

"Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary."

"Poetry is the rhythmical creation of beauty in words."

"That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful."

"There are few cases in which mere popularity should be considered a proper test of merit; but the case of song-writing is, I think, one of the few."

RE: Adios Amigo's

yesterday, I was amazed at what I seen in my email, but
hey don't tell me I didnt tell you.

1 I dont work for OP
I work with OP

so lets get that straight..

OK a literature competitor has been watching and as taken the extreme.
and taken this is idea of mine for us, and taken it even further.
So that doesn't mean it can't happen here as well.

Like I said, I'll find a better way to take poetry
out of poverty to benefit poetry, and the poverty,
and believe I am.
But I need taken seriously.

Sling, you'll have to refresh my memory, or the loss of it. What exactly
are you telling us here ? I think what you might be saying is that some
other entity will be taking over Original Poetry........and, whoever does,
will decide whether to keep things the way they have been, and also
they would be the ones to publish future Anthologies. Please define the
essence of your post.....

RE: Adios Amigo's

No, The idea I mentioned about a book store,
and a team here to publish all poets that are willing to,
have been done, and started on another site.
I wont mention the site, but OP knows about it.
My idea generates more opportunity for
Poets here to be available, and in print,
also it generates review for the site, so
Papa has more lead way in marketing, and
Much more. It also takes the site here, and the
Modern world of poetry to the next level.
So for now on just pm Papa-pacman ideas
Because the net has spies, and the ones that left
From here I imagine are running gums,
Some where all is.
I am all about poetry, and this site.
I have built a foundation here,
And I call it my home.
We still need to find ways for poet
Friends here to be happy,
Like knowing when a poet friend
Has posted a new poem, or a book.
I am just offering my ideas so all
Can have a wonderful experience here.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
