I have to wonder why you decided to omit Larkin's name

Maybe you have to wonder because you lack the intelligence to either work it out for yourself, or to bother to read the other thread. I note also that you have failed to find any justification for your peurile outburst. However please feel free to keep digging your hole. If you ask nicely i will provide you with a ladder to get out of it once you are prepared to apologise.
Best wishes,

"Only constructive criticism be given regarding your poem. Be that as it may, I hope that's what you'll get. I know the 'leap of faith' [that Laurie has also past referred to] it takes to post a poem you've written," from Elizabeth.


Erm, "your poem" "You've written."

I must be totally out of the loop here. If I am missing something that everyone else is seeing, I apologise sincerely.

However, (and there's always an however) there was no disclaimer about "your poem....you've written."

These words were allowed to pass without comment p? I am definitely missing something.

To any reader passing through this thread, they might have left the forum never knowing who Larkin was, or, that he wrote the poems.

Thanks for the offer of the ladder, but you could climb up and have a look through Larkin's 'High Windows' and get a sense of his perception on youth, ageing, and his lifelong fear of death. Well worth the effort of finding it and reading it. The last words of each stanza/verse flow easily into the next. A point raised earlier about your previous offering of his work.

Bye the way, Albert's flatulence is legendary. Ignore him not.

Partisan is trying to be so smart in this thread. It's him that needs the ladder, to climb up to the rope!!!!

tsk, tsk, partisan, you and intelligence shouldn't reside in the same sentence.
In future try not to confuse your explanation with exclamation or marks shall be deducted.

Just saying.



partisan.

use of multiple explanation marks

Very cute Martine. However as you, like Byron, deem it reasonable to insult someone's parents with no provocation i don't really care what you think. It is fortunate that i won't be seeing either of you soon. That kind of statement is not one that can be remidied with an apology. If, unlike Byron, you have some shred of an explanation(more likely an exclamation) i will do you the courtesy to read it.

"but your own perhaps."

p, get a dictionary and look up the word 'perhaps.'

It carries a weight and breadth that far exceeds its shortness.

How on Earth can I apologise for a 'conjecture'?

Whose poetry will p be bringing to the forum next? That is a rhetorical question with a hint of conjecture. If I ask a question such as this one, am I to be asked for another apology? Yet another rhetorical question.

Many is the time when contributers have commented that threads they started have taken on a life of their own. This is another example. p started it. As yee sow p. As yee sow.

Hosea 8.7 could be applicable...

some p-ple never change, it seems

"Only constructive criticism please"

You asked and you got.

Dear Partisan,
This is my first viewing of this thread : it isn't "peurile" (sic) but " puerile "(from the Latin "puer", meaning "child".)
Also, what does "remidied" (sic) mean?
I think this is my first post to you: I like your avatar.

Andrew,

I believe those were just typos. Do you know the Latin root for pedantic?

This is my first post to you.

Well, well! It doesn't take much to stir 'em up eh, P?

The funny thing is, I thought your reference to it being your "other entry" was a dead give-away as another joke like the "Chelsea Hotel"... only waiting to see if any would recognize the author (not one familiar to me).

I remember Lightning playing a similar joke with an obscure Halloween poem of Leonard's last year. Fascinating disparity in reactions based on presumption and prejudice, isn't it.

Also interesting were the presumptive snipes at me at the time when I cryptically implied suspicion of its origin, but didn't 'blow the cover' for the "Prank" to play out.

To refresh your memories...

Ah feeling left out Makera having to dreg up old posts which if my memory serves me correctly were heavily edited and changed to show a more ambiguous post that the original one. The orginal post quite plainly showing you didn't have a scooby doo.

"scooby doo"! excellent CRS. I have never heard that one before. My saucepans will love that one.
