Thanks for the comment on my poem. I'm glad you liked it. ^^ I LOVE your about me section, btw. We have a lot in common. . Tolkien and FF. A lot of the same interests, too. Woot!
ya this is awsome! i go 2 a christian school and som of my school friends are on here so i never thought i'd actually meet another christian outside of that!!!! this ROCKS!
ya totally.. it was just one of those days we all have when we think our lives are the worst... but as i have learned things will usually get worse before they get better :P thanks :)
I just left a comment on your journal entry about the poetry found on this site. It is merely the beginning of a thought... the most elementary principle of a far more intricate doctrine. Poetry is in a sad state everywhere, and that which is to be read on Mibba is mainly a result of a) the youthfulness of those writing (a Rimbaud is hard to find anymore) and b) the poor state of poetry everywhere else, and the shallow regard with which it is now held by the semi-literate public. That people have more time for long and terrible novels than they have for short and consciousness-altering poems is a reality that I have had little success in comprehending. Now write! Write, you lovely sphinx!
Sorry...didn't see your comments until today.
I didn't show up on Saturday...sry. Perhaps we could communicate more via e-mail? Seems the chats aren't always at the best times and they're scarce, plus I don't even get much onto Mibba anymore these days because I found out most markets for poetry want stuff that is unpublished...and putting it Mibba officially publishes it. )-:
Nothing can be thought good once it has been advertised; this is true of love especially. Love is not a brightness, but an opacity; it is hard, not soft. Love is a form of refusal, not of acceptance. The old [i]Dracula[/i] movies have a lesson for us in this regard, namely: never trust a door that opens before you reach it.
I left a comment on "Indifference House." Go and read it while I sleep a moment beneath this grizzled elm....
I don't mean anything abstract by "explore" - merely to search, to delve, to seek within. Appearances can be a false door, I realize - they can beckon you to ascend, and then open into nothing. Words are just as untrustworthy, especially in abundance - as the profusion of stars belies the overwhelming emptiness of the cosmos. As always, I'm reaching for something. But blindly.
