  1. Aha, I finally see what you look like. I dont know if you could categorise this as a howler but i had a paper that insisted on, "...the pubic life of XXX." I thought Elegy (iii) was inspired.

  4. Yep, the first one's kinda noncommittal. Follows the "when you're unsure about something, keep it vague" rule pretty well, right Kim? Me I like the "pubic life of xxx". Has a certain ring to it :P

  5. It is a way of something that is frustrating and making me wanting to grab them by their necks and making me wanting to send our college students back to primary school.

    But if the truth be told I have no idea what a "Quatrain" is.

  6. Awwww my feelings exactly, ambs!! But you can't afford to be too violent, alas. A quatrain is just a poem or stanza with 4 lines....from the Latin quad.

  8. so if a 4-line poem is a quatrain, would a limerick be a pentrain? :P I love limericks, I even had a book of dirty limericks but I think somebody snitched it becos it's nowhere to be found now.

    Hey life10 nice to see you! I sure miss those forums. Hows your family?

  9. Lol I don't know about a limerick being a pentrain but a limerick isn't really considered serious, mainstream poetry.

    life10, a big thank you hug! And no I haven't read Inheritance yet. I've become sooo lazy about reading anything it's really shameful :(

  10. And all these time I thought a Quatrain was when four trains run parallel to each other... :-P

    And strangely, to me, a "stanza" sounds like some Nazi propaganda or Nazi secret police...

    "Herr Oberleutnant, this is Herr Kapitän from the Stanza, München Division, reporting for duty! Sieg Heil!"

    :-)
