Don’t mention it. That’s what i’m here for…to make the world more audacious thru fascetiousness. …and the third sinning nun tells the vicar: “I peed in the holy water”. yuk yik yak.

Dude- you’re gonna make me cry. My flailing feminine schemes brought out Bukowski on serenade.

Pretentious, Pointless ,Narcissistic,
and Downright Silly Minimalist Dream Poem #3
For Halifax ‘Pablo’ Scalafax

At the foot of the Sphinx,
me and my muse have asphixiation sex
in sleeping bags.
Bukowski fingers ‘moonlight sonata’
on a young chang made of plywood
and pops off:
“Hater, you slurp jello shots
from that hot puss like a champ!”
I smile
and fuck the make out of love.

Ah, continue on Halifax. While I do post “questionable” writing at times to simply see how others will react I wouldn’t leave you completely out to dry. After all, you provide the laundry.

I’m always shocked at how others feel about certain posts. And it’s one of the reasons H and H continues. The simple enjoyment of watching the latest, greatest and certainly not so greatest unfold. We all fit into all of these categories and that’s why H and H is a wonderful place for writers to develop, hone and submit their respectively perfected voices.

Thank you for the editorial warning. I had no idea. Will be more careful with my play in the future, officer. Saddled with the trust factor. Damn.
This mean I can’t fall back on your previous sentiment that you’d not post anything bad to save the writer embarrassment? I may have to reregister with a different assumed name.

Resting on laurels can give one the haemorrhoids. All reputations are bad.

Personally, I don’t enjoy rhyming poetry and whenever I begin going through the countless daily submissions and I see something starting to rhyme I instantly stop, hit delete and move on. But this is Halifax and I trust he’s got something going and will give him a shot at it.

Great comments here. I enjoy intelligent dialogue as much as Robert Bly might and simply wanted to see how the crowd (or those who choose to appear from it) would react.

Keep writing. We’re making one another better at what we do.

Quasi-mofo and I are currently in a armistice over what constitutes pretension. He asserts it is a antonym for post-tension. I’m not completely sure what I claimed it was. Suffice it to say, we were being silly. I can only hope silly isn’t a synonym for pretentious.

No doubt, I went off the rails a bit regarding Quasi’s quasi-literate critique of your I-really-do-think-this-could-be-great poem (and I really do), but I just couldn’t help myself. An overlong screed that rivals the length of the Bible, regarding a 21 line poem, is pretentious, pointless, narcissistic, and downright silly, but I digress. There is far too much needless pretention in the poetry world already, and when it presents itself in such a blatantly obvious way….sometimes pointing it out is ok.

Now don’t be catty.

Time wounds all heels. He’ll get his too. I thought that apart from the brief meander against you declaring war in pieces, he kept his words on point. But I like you Quasi…you tell me to throw poo- throw poo I do. Handfuls. You can’t see it but I narrowed my eyebrows at Ag.
