Moonlith: When writing a Clarity poem, the first word in bold should tie in with the last line of the poem. Check out my poem "BUDS" for an example.
    Moonlith: Do you need to use puncuation in poetry?
    Not a great deal. Poetry has rhythm, and so it does not generally need much punctuation. Prose has no rhythm, and so it needs punctuation. Any "poetry" burdened with punctuation, especially periods in the middle of lines, is most likely plain ol' prose pretending to be verse by spreading out in absurd lines and pseudostanzas on the page, instead of honestly retaining the structure of blunt paragraphs it is actually made of.

Well, a resume with a multitude of schools and a variety of professions is meaningless when one is a novice 'again'. None of that really matters. I am a sum of it all. Kind of like the 'BLOB'. Remember the movie. I just keep rollin' on. -

    barkingdog: I did not. Repeat. did not re-enter the above message. The Iternal Server God announced on a big white screen that he was having some trouble with my 'blob' message. When I came back the 'blob' was there and he had 'thrown up' the other again. I guess he DID have real 'internal' problems. Ha -
