Don't kiss my butt! (a rant)

[WickedEve]

I was surfing a poetry ring and came across a site. On the home page was a pic of a friendly looking lady. Her site mostly consisted of her poetry. I read some of it -- clichéd rhymes. But beneath it I could see she had something to say. I viewed her guest book. All the entries appeared to be from friends. They told her that they love her and how great her poetry is. She seems to have what she wants/needs. She's sharing her poetry and she's receiving praise. But until she leaves her cozy, secure place, she'll never grow as a writer. And that's true of all of us.

Now getting to the matter of kissing my butt. Most of you don't. Do some of you? I don't know. But don't do it! If I write something that isn't good, let me know. Help me be a good writer, and not a mediocre one that gets undeserved praise.

Thanks for reading my rant.

But I want to kiss your butt! By denying me that, you are, in effect depriving me of my rights and therefore oppressing me!

Did you see it? Did you see Eve oppressing me?

I, Wicked Eve, hereby confess that I oppressed Lauren.Hynde. To make restitution, I will bend over for her pucker.

Very sexy though....I will give you a 5 just for the idea of Lauren kissing your ass...haha. No poems needed just post pictures. I hope all you poets have a great weekend...I have to work 12 hour shifts for the next 4 days....isnt that nice of the hospital I work for...ruin your weekend and make you really fucking tired in the process...I love America !

P.S. Lauren are you working on the German Bier connection...I think we could start our own black market.

Well if you really want me to....

You look, at least from some of your AVs, like you got a pretty nice butt, so sure if you want. Actually, I was going to praise you for caring enough about poetry to support it here by doing the space poem contest, but now that I've seen this thread, I'm not so sure I should.

I haven't been here long enough to make a great assessment of this, but in the time I have been, it seems to me that when the butt-kissing (of your's or anyone else's poems) begins, the butt-beating starts (grinning broadly at Daughter here). Actually, I think that thanks to Daughter, you, Judo, and a few others, there's much less gratuitous praise here than there could be. There seems to be a decent focus on this board on discussing the specifics of language and structure that strengthen or weaken a piece of writing, rather than empty gushing.

But just in case you still want some kisses:

Booty bussing

I would kiss your butt, but I'm afraid your man would shoot me.

 

[WickedEve]

Kisses back to you, Angeline!

Kdog, I thought you sniffed butt instead of kissing it. And Master wouldn't shoot you, he'd simply crush you with his manly hands! lol

 

[Angeline]

Karma?

Technically, don't you need lips to kiss? And dogs, well, they don't have them. Oh sure, they give those slurpy doggy kisses, but... um

oh never mind.

(this is really just a cheap ruse to get me up to 100 posts, so I can finally have an AV)

 

[WickedEve]

Angeline, you've been here long enough to have an AV. Stop dragging your karmadog-licked butt and do those last few posts!

(respond to this to get another post closer)

 

[WickedEve]

Then after you respond to the post above, respond to this one. Oh, you need something to respond to... let me think... Why don't dogs have lips? If they did, would they pucker up and demand kisses?

 

[Angeline]

What a great idea

I'll just respond to that first post of yours, Eve....

 

[Angeline]

And then the next one....

like this...

 

[Angeline]

Because

I just had to use words; I don't want to be like those people who simply counted to get to the 100th post.

 

[Angeline]

Y'know, counting

like 1, 2, 3,....

 

[Angeline]

This is it!

and I'm not wasting it on dopiness, so here's a poem by Pablo Neruda. I love the way he writes.

Love, what a long way, to arrive at a kiss,
What loneliness in motion toward your company!
Rolling with the rain, we follow the tracks alone.
In Taltal there is neither daybreak nor spring.

But you and I, love, we are together
From our clothes down to our roots:
together in the autumn, in water, in hips, until
we can be alone together--only you, only me.

To think of the effort, that the current carried
so many stones, the delta of Boroa water;
to think that you and I, divided by trains and nations

we only had to love one another:
with all the confusions, the men and the women,
the earth that makes carnations rise, and makes them bloom!

~~Pablo Neruda



ok. now what?

 

[WickedEve]

Like the AV! You're no longer faceless in the crowd!

(this is one of those meaningless posts)

 

[lickmyboot]

Nice Av Angeline

Now will you wait it out for 60 more posts from moi so I may do the same?

 

[nakedangelina]

WE, where do you want

to meet me for the butt kissing???


lik, post away - I wanna see you av...

 

[Elda Furry]

Lickmyboot, you should meet my friend, lickmybutt. You'd make a great couple.

 

[lickmyboot]

lick my butt

Ya' think? We'd have some sort of awkward 69 thing going on. I do take yoga...but I don't know if I'm that flexible!

NA--always up for a little butt licking...but biting is better though!

 

[lickmyboot]

Hey Nekkid!

Where in the Texas heat? Me too.

 

[nakedangelina]

I'll only tell

if you promise not to bite my butt.
(now if you want to talk about biting nipples...)



I am in Dallas, August just plain SUCKS in Dallas. We have has a pretty good summer, but now it is hotter than hell. I am tierd of sweating.

 

[lickmyboot]

...nipple biting is always good...at least nipple nibbling!

Me too! What a small world! We should go get a beer sometime.

 

[nakedangelina]

Oh HELL yeah

Beer to beat the heat! Wish I had one right now...
(*I take that back, I wish I had a 12 pack right now*)

 

[lickmyboot]

mmm..beer

Nothing better than kickin' back with a Corona with lime! Unless it's a Bass Ale in a hole-in-the-wall Irish bar.
