Hey there, just letting you know that I accidentally hit 'Mark as spam' on one of your comments because I was using DA on my phone and I can be clumsy. I'm not sure whether you get notified or not, but if you do, just know it was an accident and all your comments are greatly appreciated.

once i enlarged the photo i realized that the eye wasn't yellow though it had struck me appropriately as a goat's eye. mis-saw what was there, saw wasn't but could have been there.

Hey! Thanks for the favorite on Blood Relative. And the earlier picks too.Β Keep promising to re-visit your archives don't I?Β Can't seem to get there. Must be the demands from the other 26,998 people on here. Β

***SECOND notice: Β new member, belcanto2. 3rd poem posted today "Crippled Bird". check her out, she satisfies Pound's "only emotion endures" and Larkin's "substance, substance above all." *****

Β Swep, you sometimes remind me of the undercover FBI agent in Mercury Rising, played by a fiercely determined and righteously pi**ed off Bruce Willis. I do believe I'm going to grow up to be a poet one of these years because you insist on it, no matter that I go kicking and screaming every inch and line along the way!!Β Thank you for your belief in me. And for yet another fav.Β Β Β Β

Hi Swep! Came across this site via bing and just spent an age figuring out how to add/edit a submission. Coming back to civilization, bit by bit.Β Will comment on your videos, promise (guess you've been told the link on here doesn't work?). Off to add chant to my watch list. Later....

shelagh: you probably have figured out that i'm replying to your comments because they showed up on my home as comments on given poems. Β off to take a look at your poems.

OK. Understand now. It is what it is. Quit ABC because I
felt so cut off from everyone.Β No site I've found works as well at helping people connect as the 'home' I left for good a few months ago.Β

Β Swep, thanks. Have only received one email and that was to confirm registration. Can't figure out why I'm not getting notifications.Β I'll try sending you a note/message.Β Maybe you can help me work this out.

Herr Lovit, speak to me. I have a gig this Monday, 2x 5 minutes. Got any performance tips?
π: 0 β©: 1
take your time with the reading and invest it with energy. speak to the audience as if you're sharing something important, and with each and every one personally. *if there's an attractive woman in the audience, catch her eye and lick your own eyebrows.* how to handle a woman in heat will be the next lesson.

I can't even reach my nose with my tongue. How am I supposed to lick my eyebrows?

I was truly amazed to read that you are male.
I have never considered myself being sexist,but
your Butter poem,just implicated you were a woman,somehow.
That lead me to a thought that you write just as same a Virginia Woolf,and
that is awesome!

yes, male. thanks for reading and for "awesome." swep

maarten: just discovered your remarks. went to taos, new mexico for a while and have been teaching 3 young possums to drink bourbon. they act awful silly, but while drinking bourbon so do i sometimes. i will die 30-40 years before you (actuarily) and so want you to carry on my love of the noble marsupial.it is your charge, you can't refuse.

I'd take care of the marsupials with all my love. Do I have to teach them to drink wodka?

I'm not sure if I can be in Amsterdam those days, but Amelia sounds like an interesting possum.
