Love might be blind
But
Lust isn't.
Liked yours - and Witzl's review too.

and as for the stuff with holes in it...
Liked it  very funny - although not so much when you have to buy the stuff...maybe there's another reason that feminists burn their bras...

| Depends where you buy your lingerie from... |

All my string vests have holes!
Hope your lingerie is not as brief as your poetry, nor quite as revealing (bottle blonde indeed!).
Jane, Darling...is not the problem that one has been reduced to buying one's own?

Hey, I just checked on Ebay! The price of these "hold-all-your-extra-flesh-in-genuine-whalebone-sixty-strap-bomb-proof-corsets" is just ATROCIOUS!

| Oli - you shouldn't be buying corsets darling - not a good look for you. What you need is magic knickers (Phil's type where the holes are for you to put your legs in ) |
Epic Epigram
Written by patterjack (1328 comments posted) 14th January 2007 |
It is fitting that the aspiring poet placing her early verses before the public should be given the respect of serious consideration.
Coleridge is looked upon by many as a major arbiter in regards to verse and versification and he spoke thus of the epigram , and indeed this piece of work follows that form faithfully :
What is an epigram? A dwarfish whole;
Its body brevity, and wit its soul.
Derrida would be proud to add his thoughts about it .
Let us , as would they , first consider the body. It conforms to functional requirements most precisely , with a brevity and conciseness of expression befitting the techniques of such masters of the form as Swift or Pope .
It professes the question If love is blind and calls upon that great body of poesy from the earliest times of the Troubadors , the great Shakespeare himself , the Augustans , the Romantics and right down to the present day which continually affirms that proposition wherein the hypothesis of the immensity of the romantic passion for a loved one encapsulates the soul of the lover to such a degree that he sees no imperfections in the beloved .
Thus is set up an almost Aristotelian logic , with the break at the end of the line giving the reader pause to reflect back on that long long tradition of both poetry and logic , a vital pause allowing the contemplation of an idea close to the infinite .
That pause given , the short line that follows brings in the element of suspense and the reader asks himself , what depth of revelation will follow?
But the contemplation of the complexities of life are not there brought to an end , for the next line sweeps the reader further out into the mysteries of the universe with its unanswered question .
Thus the very structure of the work takes on a universal application
But consider the emotional impact of this piece . Think of the reader whose mind is driven to revert to the actual physicality of the subject in question , its variety , its importance to all , even more than to the lover .
And there is such a subtle inversion of the points of view expressed , beginning with the universal and narrowing to the particular , from the ever reaching question first expressed to the anguished cry of the beloved herself , who , we may infer , would wish to satisfy her lover with views of inexpressible delight .
Such a forlorn wail , like unto the Romantic vision of the demon lover , brings us almost to the final sense of despair , capitalised in THE END
A most moving and enlightening work .
This young poet must , for the sake of humanity , bring further enlightenment to her readers. |

| Sorry, Brian. I missed the point. Can you go through it again? |

I think this has had far more attention than it deserves and of course you don't understand, gerard, not being a woman. I do think that Brians review deserves a post of it's own, urine duly extracted

| Loved the shortness of it. It really got straight to the point and that made it all the more funnier. |
Hilarious!

Short and sweet, yet decisively insightful!
