  1. Ok, I've got nothing against John Lennon or his love for Yoko. You know of my involvement with the Top Ten, and I believe 2 of his greatest songs 'Woman' and '(Just Like)Starting Over' didn't do very well because they were about Yoko.

    Anyway, I'm digressing. I still don't see any reason at all to use the Lord's Name as a 'lyric filler'.

    That's it from me. Oh - I do like funny religious jokes. Your's wasn't.

    I don't like to be negative, but there's just about nothing in this post that has merit.

    I like Woman and Starting Over, but they aren't particularly great songs, no matter for whom Lennon wrote them.

    The use of profanity and "Christ" are common in art. In fact, it used to be that nearly all music and art was religious in nature and mentioned Jesu or Christ or the pagan gods.

    Crucifixins is a decent pun. If you can't acknowledge that, then you're too uptight.

    Finally, your post is almost wholly off-topic.

  2. Udo, the point of the poem is that the person doesn't want to end the realsionship....they are doing so regretfully and sorrowfully...They are letting the other person know that it's a regretful desicion....

    No, I totally understand that.

    But, from reading the poem, it seems that the protagonist really doesn't have much choice in the ending of the relationship, but may not quite understand that. The other person seems to have already moved on.

    Also, the several poems I've read by you tend to be from this same point of view. I was wanting to see if you'd put yourself in the other person's shoes and write their story. Take it as a challenge. :)

  3. Teachers grade down for misspellings, editors correct them. Why not try to be correct?

    There you go. Part of being an artist is making technical mistakes that editors/producers fix. Sometimes even the editors miss.

    Consider Steven Brust's The Phoenix Guards which contains the line "Not is the time to depart." The sentence makes no sense, until you realize that it's supposed to be "Now is the time to depart." The writer missed it, the editor missed it, and about 50,000 people wrote to the author complaining.

    Get over it. Seriously.

  4. Why has no one responded to this? I suppose I should ask myself the same question. I'm really fascinated by this piece. I don't know if it's all the religious imagery on the boards lately, but I'm thinking the other guy is God. Right? Or am I reading too much into it? Either way, I like it. Good work, brother.

    You're exactly right. I'm agnostic and being rejected or dumped by women who require a particular religion is a common theme in my life. Getting a divorce because your wife has become a born-again Christian makes you wonder.
