A little Anonymous reply

[Liar]

Got a polite and valid but anonymous comment that I wanted to reply to, so I do it here instead:

absinthe
got the beast
out you
missing a word?

the blend that makes diaries burn with confusion
i am you are we were somehow a three hour exception
commas?

This would've been much better if you proof-read your work before submitting.

It was proofread thrice and looks exactly as intended. The choice to omit punctuation and correct grammar in those lines may not have been a good one, but that's another question.

Other comments said similar things in that and another poem. So just for the record, I might make bad poetry calls, but never technical mistakes.

Just sayin'.


I get that from time to time when I bend the language one twist too far for some readers, the assumption that I just typed wrong or something. Does this ever happen to anyone else?

Perhaps this is the way to face off with the dreaded anonymous. Good call, Liar.

Dreaded by whom? It was a fairly nice comment. He or she just assumed wrong, that I was a bad typist rather than a bad poet.

 

[WickedEve]

I did comment on this poem. Not anon, though. I want my "of".

I received comments on occasions, complaining about odd verbal tense changes in places where I hadn't made them. The vebs just happened (?) to be irregular, like "set", "cut", or "hit".

Want to get of, do we?

Just for you:

OF!

Lauren got cited by the Grammar Police ...hehehe
and yes they were nicer than most. So this is how
to deal with'em, Last time I challenged an anon
on a thread I got tail yapped by the octagon <laughing>
Join the club <laughing> guess they didn't know lauren (~_*)

I was not near as articulate though <smile>

So your saying it was the verbs fault??

Thats what they all say....

I'm not adventurous enough with poetry. The "missing" of was quite worrisome and caused much fretting. I think omitting the of was too bold. You're like a renegade poet and that frightens many of us.

Don't you just hate that? You have something to say, say it, put your name to it. I don't understand the fear; of course the score leavers are worse. Oh, no, Oh, no, some people left a low score, why? Was it it something I said somewhere or forced rhyme, I'll never know.
I'll never care.

I have been leaving anonymous comments lately; not out of cowardice but out of frustration! The lit feedback system won't seem to keep me logged in, so i have to reenter my username and password for every comment-- I'm too lazy for that.

i think everyone is having these problems, fly. just sign your name at the bottom of the comment. i'm sure the system will be repaired.

i spent 2 hours doing the contest results and got signed out as i tried to preview them. i had to do them over.

Yes -- me, too. Fortunately, I always sign them "~Imp." The thing that concerns me is that ANYONE could do that -- and it might be perceived as ME.

So, I make an extra effort to enter my username/password each time -- but I still sometimes forget. *sigh*
