Reply to I Hate Online Poetry Sites! in Misc JoeUser Forums

I liked your poem, especially since I am not a fan of verse. I think it's a fine poem, but I also remember some advice to poets that when something like this: be sure you know where you're submitting your work - if the journal (or book) is lousy and filled with junk, if they publish you, then you'll just be one of the lousy, junk-producing writers. I haven't tried to submit my poetry because I just haven't made the time, and I generally think what I

Five Minutes in Poetry JoeUser Forums

Five minutes on the snooze bar blinks by five minutes of early morning prayer is my investment five minutes of trying to hold back an orgasm so I don't come too fast causes a headache but five minutes of laughing with my daughter is medicinal and I hope the last five minutes

Actually, it was more based on Lenny's Jewish and Goyishe bit, but Carlin was influenced by Lenny too. I just noticed there is a subtle code to what these words mean. Thanks for the note. - Moskowitz

Will there be bibles in Heaven? in Poetry JoeUser Forums

Will there be bibles in Heaven? or nations? or wallets? the first year in Heaven will be spent laughing at our previous imaginings of the afterlife and the Jerry Falwells the James Dobsons and the Pat Robertsons of this world will be there too looking for people to minister to bu

Dr - Thanks for the compliment, but I think I was fixating on an Peter Paul's Almond Joy (not the references to chocolate, coconut and Joy). In either case, thanks for reading and your thoughtful comment. - Moskowitz

Temporary Happiness in Poetry JoeUser Forums

Happiness is a short-lived fancy chocolate kisses wrapped in coconut promises to be savored for a moment but once savored is but a memory I sit in the aftermath of happiness alone with my memories and try to discern their precise moment that happiness died nothing good ever lasts in its st

Reply to Stern's $83 million bonus in Current Events JoeUser Forums

I thought Stern was a master satirist and I think it was a sad comment on our "free marketplace of ideas" that turning the dial wasn't enough to get him off the air.

By the way, he graduated magna cum laude from Boston University in 1976 with a degree<a href="http:/

My Kvetching Muse in Poetry JoeUser Forums

My muse visited while I was taking a shower on Christmas Eve. "Hey, asshole, how long are you gonna ignore me?" I continued ignoring her. "Fine, you want it that way, just remember your songwriting drought of the early 90's. When I split that time you kept writing the same so

Finding the Right Christmas Card in Poetry JoeUser Forums

In my previous coupling, finding the right Christmas card was a small but onerous task I’d approach the display with rows and rows of sentiment and imagery laid before me waiting to articulate all the things I should have felt: “I know I don’t say ‘I love you’ enough “ well, I did say it<B
