    Boll/ocks..you do it all the time..pretentious mare!

    Esme… all words should stand in their own right, whoever the author. Lyrics or poetry.

    It really doesn’t matter to me who wrote something, as long as I like it.
    You obviously feel you need to know who wrote something before you can decide whether to like it or not.

    Ha! Held up for plagiarism and being pretentious by the Esme! Priceless. That’s like an accusation levelled at you by Bin Laden about being a bit over the top with your religion and politics.

    Genius.

    Thus spaketh the resident wit and ars/ewipe. Actually, Minim was held up for no such thing.. I suggest you give your monacle a rub with your hankie, old boy. I pointed out that she never provides the title or the author, I said NOTHING about her pretending the works were by herself. But then you never miss an opportunity to have a go at me pikey. It’s as blatant as it is predictable..now go shove ya philip k. di.ck in a mangle, there’s a good man.

    Wtf are you wittering on about you silly woman? If work required no acknowledgement of authorship, the library shelves would be heaving under A for Anonymous.
    You are trying to put spin on your idiocy..well go ahead..but don’t pretend you do it for any other reason than to assume intellectual superiority. As for arguing that giving the name of the author predjudices the appreciation of the work…one might at least expect to be given the title.
    And darling..I ain’t hoisted on nuttin’
    Simple. :wink:

    At the Bomb Testing Site

    At noon in the desert a panting lizard
    waited for history, its elbows tense,
    watching the curve of a particular road
    as if something might happen.

    It was looking at something farther off
    than people could see, an important scene
    acted in stone for little selves
    at the flute end of consequences.

    There was just a continent without much on it
    under a sky that never cared less.
    Ready for a change, the elbows waited.
    The hands gripped hard on the desert.

    The Cable Ship

    We fished up the Atlantic Cable one day between the Barbadoes and the Tortugas,
    held up our lanterns
    and put some rubber over the wound in its back,
    latitude 15 degrees north, longitude 61 degrees west.
    When we laid our ear down to the gnawed place
    we could hear something humming inside the cable.

    ‘It’s some millionaires in Montreal and St John
    talking over the price of Cuban sugar, and ways to
    reduce our wages,’ one of us said.

    For a long time we stood there thinking, in a circle of lanterns,
    we’re all patient cable fishermen,
    then we let the coated cable fall back
    to its place in the sea.

    Cath, I love you with all my heart, and Toybulldog, thank you for the magnificent poems, I’m not familiar with the work of either of those authors, but will make a point of seeking them out where possible.
