...name...? I think he has influenced everyone here in some way....I do take his advice on board, even with his critique on the poem I collaborated with Nancy, might have seemed we were at heads, but I see his point of view.
Here is a Man
July 3rd 2010
Let me tell you about a strange man
Poetry is his chosen passion
Originality he demands
Otherwise prepare for a lashin'
Don’t pen lines that are so damn cliché
Or employ chatty words such as “the”
He writes in his own quite unique way
Did I mention that grass is green? Duh!
Won’t come out and say that your work sucks
Uses constructive criticism
Name happens to rhyme with the word “f*ck”
Blend of joy and stern cynicism.
You see him, wearing the green beanie
He rules the whole roost here like top cat
Likes a smoke and perhaps a weenie
Someone said that he was also fat.
Would poetry section be the same
Without his odd humor and rough grace?
A man you cannot possibly tame
Still haven’t actually seen his face.
He won’t like how I have written this
With my shaky meter and bad lines
On this work you should take a long piss
Crap structure and silly forced rhymes.
A mystery, an enigma here
One who I haven’t seen follow rules
Guess he’s been here now for a few years
Don’t listen to conformative tools.
So there you have it, my complete ode
To a man who will never behave
His legacy on here is now sewn
The one, and of course the only, Dave.
I am actually proud of this poem, and put effort into it, despite poking fun at it myself. So comment it seriously

I don't force rhymes ever, I don't think Buk ever accused me of that. He just said the poem Nancy and I wrote was cliche....but I stand by our poem, because we wrote it. But of course I respect Buks opinion, and if I looked at it from the point of view of a reader, I might agree with him. I have to be stubborn with my own work though, we all do.
Intrusivosity With Medium Doubt
Bah, we should have a poetry duel! I'll bring the salami, ravioli, lasagna and red wine. I'm italian and you know that's how we roll.

Dave
