Greetings All,

Realizing my website is not very popular with readers I have made an
effort to find topics more to the liking of the american public.
My last "poem" (at least it's what I thought poetry was) was poorly
received here. People far more interested in poetry than I am didn't
find
it "poetic" at all. That is okay with me. I was greatly pleased that
such
people took their precious time to comment and critique.
My website is a bit more comprehensive; about poetry, politics,
science
and religion. Perhaps no surprise, it isn't doing well either.
To improve it I have gathered a wide-ranging list of other topics
and
made a survey so that readers can have some control of the topics.

Here is the survey:

Here is the last poem:

Tsk.
Stringing archaic words and thoughts from old pomes doth not a
pome make. It doesn't even make a good case for plagiarism.

You're too kind.

Have you followed the politics lately? Not that I am proud of the
turns it's been taking, but have you? Did you catch Hillary saying, "fool
me once shame on you ... "? Isn't /that/ plagiarism? It makes one glad to
be interested in poetry, you have options.

Anyway. A really important thing to me was getting those commas of
apposition in before you guys had a chance to say anything. Whether I was
successful because you had the grace to wait for me to fix mistakes on my
own or because you were insufficiently interested to examine the poem
sooner, it worked out fine I guess. Remember how careful Joy was about
fixing mistakes?

And is my survey software not working right or what? My last survey
had more responses and wasn't as "interesting."
