I talk to Myself
I've made an appointment to talk to myself
That's what you call busy
We talked we argued and didn't settle a thing
That's what you call dizzy
I got so mad I begain to tremble and shake
That's called shaky
Didn't like the way the converstion went so I left
That's called flacky
When you argue with yourself and loose
That's called a dummy
you can't win an agurment with the kids
That's called being a mommy

I freakin loved it
Gloria,
Where have you been hiding this wicked sense of humor...I dig it.
One thing, in line 8 change "flacky" to "flakey".
Keep em coming,
Pete
A word about my spelling
my word was right my spelling wrong.
So even though my spelling couldn't be worse
Just be concerned with the content of the verse
Gloria
Wow, you too
First Willow and now you are coming back at me for trying to be helpful and offering a little editorial advice. I thought we were all here to help one another. I can guarantee you that after today I will offer no more editorial assistance to anyone on this site. It's obviously not wanted and certainly not appreciated.
Frustrated,
Pete
Darlin you are sooooooo wrong
Pete I was not in any way shape or manner putting down your advice I really do want and welcome it.Please don't stop and know I need all the help I can get.
Gloria
Sorry Gloria
I got bitched out twice by Willow for the same thing and then when you came at me it was all a bit too much. Accept my apology.
Pete
any time
I accept only if you continue to offer advice.Oh please do
Gloria
Well, Pete...
Forgive me for sticking my nose in someplace it
doesn't belong. But because of your critism, Willow has once again departed from Showcase.
What a shame! She is among the best and most respected members of the forum.
Her poetry is as good as Gloria's and Iroconnel's,
who are 2 of my favorites. God, I wish I were as talented as they are when it comes to poetry!
I know you are only trying to be helpful, my friend, but sometimes critism can be taken the wrong way.
Please bare that in mind okay?
Let me see now
tj,
To begin with I don't know you or anything about you. I can't recall any previous communication between us, I could be wrong because I'm getting a bit older and the memory ain't what it used to be. I am going to endeavor to be as nice as I possibly can in responding to your message to me regarding Willow.
My philosophy about spending time on a site such as this is that we are all here to post, read, learn and to help one another. When I noted to Willow that she had a grammatical error in a couple of her submissions I was not calling her out or showing her up, I was just trying to be helpful. We all are capable of overlooking out own mistakes, it is fairly normal and it happens with some regularity. By pointing out the errors I was trying to help her enhance her own piece. Her immediate reaction of umbrage took me aback quite a bit. I made an effort to explain my motives and she chose to get rather insulting, which was totally uncalled for. I did not feel being taken to the woodshed was warrented and I told as much. It was her choice to roll up into a big snit and take down her blog. If that was her way to punish me it didn't work, she's only punishing herself and those who follow her work. I have not and will not apologize for trying to be a helpful member of this site and when I return I will continue to do so.
On another point, for someone who has not found the time or the inclination to comment on my submissions you have a lot of temerity to chastise me. I have no way of knowing whether you even read my work. You may be one of those who reads and runs, I don't know. I will tell you this much, I will put my work up against just about any other writer on this site, with the possible exception of David Lewis Paget who is absolutely incredible. If you have read my work and don't care for my style or the stories they tell don't touch you don't be afraid to say so. My skin is extremely thick and we can learn from negative reviews as well as glowing ones.
I hope Willow simmers down and comes back into the fold. I will nto take any responsibility for her abrupt disappearance.
I would hope that the next communication between us is of a much more positive nature.
Pete
