A silly young burro named Bobby
Joined a poetry group for a hobby.
His output was thin,
But he tried to fit in
By acting exceedingly snobby.

"A silly old fool named Dance
Once again pulled down his pants
No one expressed any shock
At the smallness of his cock
Or the fuzziness of his thoughts
Since he cannot connect the dots"

It comes from an old discussion about writing a rock song in limerick form.

Billy Joel came close, I think I remember it mentioned.

You really do seem like an interesting, intriguing, enigmatic character, but you seem to feel compelled to label and stigmatize some of us, at times, in a very judgmental, "black and white", simplistic way... Would it really be such a problem to try and be less judgmental? One "group" here you appear to 1000% excuse, no matter how hateful and vicious their behavior and others you want to completely demonize at all costs... Do you really think that is fair? If being fair is what you want to achieve... believe it or not, I often admire and appreciate your eccentric, quirky style, and that you are more unusual and subtle and idiosyncratic in your criticisms than the exceedingly puerile, childish, immature, one note insults that others spout here, appreciate your imagination and creativity, but would appreciate it you would be try to be a bit less one sided in your opinions of the posters here...

Yes, I can be black n white when I forget about being gray. I'm compelled by what I see my enemies post in a similar stigmatizing ways. As Desmond Tutu said: "I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't."

With you I stigmatize behavior, not you. I'm not completely your enemy, so I leave you alone half the time. Those responses to your poetry and music threads had messages under the menacing facade, just like this one. Remember this in your charity endeavors: "Do your little bit of good where you are; it's those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world." Desmond Tutu again.

I'm one sided because when I first came here, to bring others here for SS/AYoS, I spoke to the "other" side first- they listened. I went to speak to "your" side- they spit in my face and back stabbed me which started a personal conflict separate from that that was already going on with your enemies. If the flame war here was ever to stop, most of my posting opportunities would disappear, and I would have to abandon my personal conflict since everyone would be looking at me at the source of trouble then- so I would have to go somewhere else to sow my lore...

Also concerning the other side, some wisdom Ash, learned from Napoleon, Hitler and Sicilian in "The Princess Bride": "Never start a second war front, never get caught up in a land war in Asia."

But don't worry, it's no great loss, enjoy your spoils.
Jim and HC understood this simple fact which two fools cannot fathom-- the more poets seen active, the more varied and larger will the audience be. Which to those desperate LAM*ers, would possibly mean more readers for their work to gain attention from. When people come here looking for poetry or a poetry group and all they see is one person's same old threads, they will move on, to look elsewhere. I believe those fools may have screwed the pooch.

Not tired of the fighting yet? Hell, I've been active for 2 months and I'm more than tired. You know I just found Dental River's now not so recent poetry post? And I got lost in the muck and don't know where I was supposed to be being candid? But you'll probably ignore this like my open letter to you yesterday.

This covers issues you have brought up...

You know the fighting is never going to stop. You won't change so they won't change and vice versa. They can't force you to change and you can't force them to change. Both sides have to have a reason to change and there's none here in this no man's land.

It wasn't always this way-- WHAT has caused this? WHO is going to answer truthfully? Any that do not will condemn themselves to the penalty of truth and much more grief to come.

You don't want moderation and now you're getting the unmoderation in full. Did you think that there is going to be restraint in a flame war? Everyone's worst comes out.

Victor and Vanquished
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

As one who long hath fled with panting breath
Before his foe, bleeding and near to fall,
I turn and set my back against the wall,
And look thee in the face, triumphant Death,
I call for aid, and no one answereth;
I am alone with thee, who conquerest all;
Yet me thy threatening form doth not appall,
For thou art but a phantom and a wraith.
Wounded and weak, sword broken at the hilt,
With armor shattered, and without a shield,
I stand unmoved; do with me what thou wilt;
I can resist no more, but will not yield.
This is no tournament where cowards tilt;
The vanquished here is victor of the field.

Nice motivational poster material i must say...

Look out! Ash slaughters the sonnets... with an AI!

Ode to the Silence
A Sonnet by Ash

My glum silence, you inspire me to write.
I love the way you slither, writhe and fade,
Invading my mind day and through the night,
Always dreaming about your serenade.

Let me compare you to a dead ember?
You are more faded, desolate and glum.
Rum fogs hide the oceans of November,
And autumntime has the fated doldrum.

How do I love you? Let me count the ways.
I love your dark despair, echo and soul.
Thinking of your lost wail fills my days.
My love for you is the despairing howl.

Now I must away with a mournful heart,
Remember my doomed words whilst we're apart.

Did you think after all of that mocking me with you being some kind of Who's Who, that I would stop because you're tired of what you created?

And my inner demons and I have no beefs with Mr. Burrows, we consider him one of the neutral parties along with HC, Karen and some others that most likely have moved on now...

Only fools desiring their safe places erect fences

Fences serve no other purpose here for they don't stop trespasses,

“Many are guilty of buying into the common misconception that ego and confidence are essentially the same thing. They equate both with a brazen attitude that’s seemingly unflappable under pressure. It’s even been said that taking on such an attitude at work will get you ahead in your career.

The reality, however, is that these two concepts are quite different. To have confidence is to have faith in your own abilities and believe in yourself, but the ego is something else, entirely. Unlike confidence, the ego operates out of self-interest. It seeks approval, accolades and validation at all costs in order to be seen as “right”. It is resistant to feedback and assigns motive where there isn’t any.“

I'm getting my first limericks ready, the plan is to tell a story with several limerick verses.

Stay tuned.

Since those attempts are lost (as far as I can tell), I don't count them and hate to think about them also, since those poems and several others are missing.

So, I'm making a new beginning with limericks.

Whitman’s Sampler

Before this gets any more hectic,
Realize that my style is eclectic
Currently, I think verse
as I read, write, rehearse,
then I sing my body electric.

I'll accede to fate for my fault.
I've littered that lettered assault
with reference to deference
and poetic preference,
'cause when I think Whitman, it's Walt.

You may read this, and think I am joking,
then wonder just what I’ve been smoking
to get me this high.
It’s obvious! Why,
I use “Leaves of Grass” when I’m toking!

Exactly.

These attempts by the others above remind me of what I remember my attempts 25 years ago were similar to, decent tries at limerick, but flawed.

Since those are lost to time and were not successful either, I don't consider them worth discussing, except for possibly using similar "plot" ideas, say, from the Spring of 1997.

Now that's an interesting idea.

“Potato” is meant to be biting satire if you read between the lines,
a cruel joke if you take it personally, or a simple template for writing
limericks if you just want to have fun, depending on how you look at it.

My friend in Florida, Megan, mentioned that I left some notebooks and papers there when I quickly came back to Georgia in late 1999, and the poems might be with those, which she's been keeping for me there.

A couple of notebooks of poetry, which I used to carry with me, writing as I moved around.

The metrics of musical cadence,
amusingly start when we say “Dance”,
as if dancing was one
of the ways we have fun,
which is funny, but no coincidence.
