Okay, seriously, I'm starting to get pissed off. Why don't you guys ever use my "rants & raves" thingy?? It can be just like e-mail, honest. You can even make your comments private, so no one visiting the site can read them but me. So PLEASE, PLEASE, leave me some frickin' comments, so I can have a better barometer of who is reading my stuff, and what you think of it. I'm not going to ask again. (Well, that's probably a lie) Don't make me come over there!!!!
DISTINGUISHED
She regretted her children.
She told me so.
It ruined her body
and stole away her soul.
The world dropped its offers
for second chances,
took away its revery
and pageantry
turned her life to sacrifice.
She thrived in private madness
fueled by fantasy and vice
Valentine
Crissy Hynde
Every rib was offered
just beneath the skin.
Paradise for misanthropic playmates
is a warm staple gun
and castration
for women
is to take away their fun.
"It's not a look of contempt,"
she said,
"I'm just allergic to fur."
I feel like a spy
or an alien
laying low on the lamb,
relating to a life I never knew.
When the endless servitude of woman is overthrown, when she will live for herself and by herself, man,--hitherto abominable,--having given her her release, she will be a poet also! Woman will discover some of the unknown! Will her worlds of ideas differ from ours?--She will discover strange, unfathomable, repellent, delicious things; we shall take them, we shall comprehend them. (Arthur Rimbaud)

Noobloo, the true blue voodoo
Froth, flute, fin and quill...At poor peace I sing/ To you, strangers,...Into the dogdayed night. (Dylan Thomas, Prologue)

Here's a whole schwack of things I've been meaning to tell ya (and i'll do so via blog so you have a "rave") -
#1 - Just last week I scored an awesome job with PCL Construction writing proposals and a newsletter for 38K a year. Before I landed the gig, I was about to sign a contract with a company called MindTravellers Inc. www.mindtravellers.ca to be a Communications Manager. They are a new company specializing in branding and web design for homebuilders among other things. Anyway... great job, great money, 35K... great people...but I chose PCL because of the security. The point: I recommended you for the position as it requires superior writing skills and a upbeat personality to schmoose the client. Please check the site and if your interested prepare a resume. The job is basically yours if you want it. Let me know and I'll let you know the next step.
#2 - No prob about my birthday. Thanks for the email - letting me know yer breathin
#3 - Weren't we supposed to feminist, poetry writin' spinsters? Now you're married and I'm hopelessly in love, hence my new poem that I sent you yesterday(give me some feedback, eh?) Will be at the next raving event. Hope we can go together.
#4 - Check out www.nunt.com! Mingus Tourette, the bastard who makes me want to pack in my poetry, cause compared to him there's no room in this town for any more genius. Really peruse the site, there's lots of hidden goodies.
#5 - Your poetry. Distinguished is killer. Especially "warm staple gun" and "laying low on the lamb" -Horrifying, in a good way. I check your blog all the time. Will be sure to rave more.
Keep in touch.
Mandie
