However, I, er, felt it. It's pretty decent. Keep it up. Now it's time to kick out the jams, motherfucker!

Now it's time to kick out the jams, motherfucker!

I don't bother with grammer in my poems... I never pause.. I just write... though sometimes I'll go back and fix error that affect the meaning of the poem... Erik Mortis BrookshireCommoner of Alexandretta

Quote:True...but it is not necessarily the focus of a poem...I think that messy grammar and poor spelling makes the reader lose their focus and actually detracts from the overall effectiveness of the poem. Now it's time to kick out the jams, motherfucker!

unless that's what you mean to do...I sometimes use words that don't exsist.... About cliche... I will use it sometimes to make sure the reader understands what I'm talking about... Erik Mortis BrookshireCommoner of Alexandretta

[Erik Mortis]

You're allowed to NOT-break any rule as long as you (don't?) know what you are doing? Erik Mortis BrookshireCommoner of Alexandretta

A double negative that doesn't mean the same as a positive. Sun Bless, Earth KeepZirandorthel I of TreesiaThe Golden DarknessNiirus Tinenetuwar, Tivitha e'TarasGrand Duke of Lac Glacei

Double negation. not not P.. = P ! YAY LOGIC CLASS! or... ~~P.. though I would write it ~(~P) for my own ease... Erik Mortis BrookshireCommoner of Alexandretta

[Ari Rahikkala]

If P and not-P, then Q. Do you really believe Project Bluebook revealed EVERYTHING the Army Air Corps knew? Do you know what REALLY happened at Roswell, New Mexico in the late 1940s? Have you even heard about the Men in Black? Do you have any friends who have `missing days'? Do you sleep with your window unlocked?Be seeing you...
