If i ever find a heart i might give it a go, but i suggest you read on dear boy.Can you not find it in your heart to encourage even pretend poets?

Very wise of you to use the inverted commas. The scribbles masquerading as paintings and drawings the master does are no better than a kindergartner. I think he laughs himself silly every time you lot take them seriously.I love Leonard and his "art"

I couldn't agree more. This does though bring us back to certain aspiring "lousy little poets" on this board. George(s), you are not a pretend poet. You are an assault on poetry, an affront to every great poet who has gone before you. You and your fellow heretics on this board have taken no time to consider your 'art'. You have absolutely no grasp of stanza, rhyme schemes, structure, form, alliteration, assonance, simile, metaphor, and imagery. That was not an exhaustive list. The poets you claim to admire take great time and care in their work. You pore out any drivel that comes in to your mind and think it is worthy of consideration. However, before you start choking on your cocoa i only point all this out because of the themes of this thread. It seemed rather apt.Most "modern" artists can't draw...they will not put in the time and discipline that it takes to master the basics..because they can't wait to be "creative." That's why there's so much crap out there masquerading as art.

Do have a very merry Xmas.
And now the best for last in this festive season.................
Suzanne Elrod is not the Suzanne that Leonard was ever with. She was married to a friend of his, and he and she were friends. The song was written about her. However, the Suzanne that he could be considered as having been with, is the Suzanne who is the mother of his children, Adam and Lorca.

Some things are boundless, like the universe. The Tysh's ignorance is one of them. I for one never cease to be amazed at the vast sweep of it. It is all encompassing. Now, there might be a reason. It may not have time to read the Files. Hmmm. It does have time to post over 6 times a day though so that does not make sense. It may be a newbie. Hmm. Been around for years, claims to be a Cohen fan for years. Ah, that is it. Can't be a Cohen fan. Doesn't recognise song lyrics in the chatroom. Bingo! The Tysh is an imposter. The fact that this is a Cohen board is irrelevent. It is simply a parasite looking for a host, and unfortunately we are it.*****read the comment by the webmaster on the next page ******
Jarkko, don't waste your time running around correcting it's mistakes. Either post a warning on the front of the Forum, or provide the genuine Cohen fan with a Tysh Filter to screen out the dross. It would make a wonderful Xmas gift to everyone.
Seasonal greetings to all from Circle 6.
