Re: Another Pepsi challenge
MaryAnn: We've faced such Self-Important Poems and their Self-Important Authors all too often here on Poems Fray, much more so in the past than currently, but all too frequently when Mr. Pinsky has put up. Rabbit, a few weeks ago when Robert Pinsky presented his monthly classic poem, he was available to all posters for, I think, four whole ...

Re: "the part of me that wasn't breathing."
But if so, shouldn't that be ''the part of me that hadn't been breathing''? wr ()()

A kosher Chinese restaurant...?
What, no reaction to my HOTR parody, even from you? (Maybe that art form has played out around here.) I would love to find a kosher Chinese restaurant (or at least one that matched the biblical dietary laws of clean and unclean, holy and common: not precisely the same thing). I'd take up the culinary arts just so I could open and run one. wr ...

Re: "The Fate of Pleasure" by Peg Boyers

They place great importance on havings things orderly and systematic in their outer world. They hold a special place in the heart of people who they are close to, who ...

Re: The "adaptive personality"
denny: I find much to like in the chameon Lothario in ''Cafe'' - definitiely an ENFP with the emphsis on the F.

Re: Another thought for you Wabbit ()()
I am pretty sure that the protagonist would be seen much more readily as the fool that he is. And the poem would've become very interesting, rather like a train wreck is interesting. :) I have to admit that these are my favorite lines: After a few years, they get over him.They tell their new boyfriends how amazing it was, like living with ...

My turn (from my front-page review)...
I suppose I could argue that form(Were it stricter: some classical norm)Would improve this as such...But (no doubt) it's too muchTo expect those near death to conform. wr ()()
