Free verse. I am just an idiot if I try to rhyme. I know the rules but I simply cannot do it. I use poetry in a cathartic fashion and free verse is suited for that. I can write a haiku, but I would never on my own - only as an answer.

Well, it is about skill and cleverness, you know iambic pentameter and then this line has to rhyme with that line. Actually the first and third the second and fourth then fifth and then sixth and seventh. The whole time going da dum da dum da dum. I don't rhyme I write in free verse because it...

The kitty cat has a good side? I was afraid of what the last line would say. Thank God for wings.

A certain sweet someone, named Ms. Susanna, wrote us a poem, yesterday morn. She conquered an obstacle and instead of offing my hat to her, I went off on a trail of my own. Ranting and raving with no logic whatever about the State of Tennessee. Who knows the workings of my misguided mind...

Can you live silently? Can you train your ears to hear every footfall, every blade of grass that bends with your weight? The wind in the trees tells when to breathe. Eyes become large, alarmed, if leaves betray your presence. You can do it, you know. Just make sure you move slow, pause, and go.

Here, a small Freedom found in the night, when They sleep. Open the door, stealthy, slow, That old skill at silence returning. Low in the bushes a rustle and startle - stifle that laugh. A small turtle flees from me? In the sky a star falls down, a streak and I wish. Isn't that what you are...

I go with Islam. Yes, both religions are terrible but many Christians are much more modernized than their muslim counterparts. At least christians don't stone people to death or behead them. Christians also have a better understanding of birth control than muslims, although not by much. Also...

I do understand there is difference between lyrics and poetry, but it seems slight. I mean Eleanor Rigby by the Beatles was in the poetry section of my literature textbook in school. I just love Mr. Wait's words and wondered about other's thoughts. And of course the music, I mean he went to...

Thank you for the help :) I love it when people burst into laughter! :D

I just added some theme packs yesterday, no problem. Ordered from work around 2pm, and were available when I checked at home around 6pm. It seemed to be a Java thing for making selections and I had to wait about 30 seconds for it to load. After that, very easy.

I just bought a 9242 (HD PVR PLUS on web site) on Friday and installed it myself (I've had a single 3100 for years). So far I love it, no problems whatsover. Even the SD looks way better than from the 3100. Hugh has a point I often have to remind myself, how many regular Bell subscibers who...

I have the same problem with a 3100 on my LCD that replaced a CRT that blew up. I noticed a big improvement with S-video over composite, but still there. I just figured it was the cheap LCD I bought, so it doesn't really bother me. Its the same problem with everything I tried except the DVD...

I have a new item under "Programming charges" of "Le Special Gros Appetits" $3.00, only taxes listed under "Fees and Taxes". The rest of the bill is english, so would this the new service fee? I would expect they would be able to list it under "fees and taxes" and put it in ENGLISH, or are they...

I just received a new card for my 3100 on Friday, I have 1 3100 and 1 9242. It was very clear that the 9242 does not need a new card. When I registered online, it showed that 1 receiver was already setup (the 9242 I would assume even though it didn't indicate). I think the system is smarter than...

The system must be more flexible than we're led to believe. I had the old HD package put on a month after the new HD packaging was introduced (I think because I sent in a 2 year old coupon for a $90 credit), HD just appeared and they started charging me $10/mnth. After about 6 months of not...
