P., my finest upper school writer did a magnificent "portrait" of the former last year, but would not grant it a place on one of my classroom bulletin boards until I read some of the latter. I was easily converted: what a world I fell into. Ms LDM turned not of few of her classmates onto HPL as well, one of whom purchased a stuffed Cthulhu "doll," which now sits atop the "flagstick" on my classroom's west wall. Mornings, he receives our syncretic pledges of allegiance.murat11https://www.blogger.com/profile/00663364407992075130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-87625200098687893592010-02-15T08:47:41.284+08:002010-02-15T08:47:41.284+08:00Excellent work, Chris!

I had fun with this one, though I struggled with the word parameters. Thanks.<br /><br /><br />Dear Teresa,<br /><br />With the first one, I was thinking of working in the rank and file of the renegade angels, newly fallen, into the black defile, but I wasn't sure how many folks are Paradise Lost afficionados. Besides the omnivorous knowledge gourmand (et gourmet) that is you. And I mean that with the utmost in respect and appreciation, as I trust you recognize. :)<br /><br />Regarding paragraph two, I concur. That structural diversion was more a slight reply to a comment someone left a couple of 3WW ago. :)<br /><br /><br />Dear Andy,<br /><br />Thanks. Possibly it screams the loudest as Pandemonium has not yet sprung up (seeing as how that doesn't occur until the next chapter of Paradise Lost).<br /><br /><br />Dear Jay,<br /><br />Of these three, that was my favourite too, but I always Milton.<br /><br />And I am delighted that you enjoyed the jazz manouche from my (originating) home and native land.<br /><br /><br />Dear Madeleine,<br /><br />Thank you for reading and commenting! Creation usually loves an audience; even Milton would likely argue for that. I am sure that Lucy would, too.<br /><br /><br />Dear Angel,<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br /><br />Dear Thom,<br /><br />I just run with the words. You provide the prompts, the cues... and we all queue up to receive.<br /><br />Thank you, Thom.<br /><br /><br />Dear Peggy,<br /><br />Absolutely no offense taken, Peggy. You know that I prefer honest feedback by far, and poems are, of course, highly subjective.<br /><br />I have been e-away for a while; I look forward to returning to the rounds and to seeing what is new around town.<br /><br /><br />Dear Cloudia,<br /><br />And the same in return, amanuensis of dreamtime and brilliant flowers.<br /><br />And, sometimes, of Chinese lions.<br /><br /><br />Tschuess,<br />ChrisSepiru Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600130405222535830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-32473815168748696822010-02-11T11:45:13.086+08:002010-02-11T11:45:13.086+08:00Gung Hee Fat Choy!!!!!!!Gung Hee Fat Choy!!!!!!!Cloudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05853753108637831069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-7794240533299348992010-02-11T11:02:17.869+08:002010-02-11T11:02:17.869+08:00welcome back!

The tree hugger salvages funds and thus finds or saves paradise. And the last one, it seems is about losing the paradise of a competent mind and finding that j'ne sais quoi of insanity tinged with genius. <br /><br />Your lesson on the forms of your art was quite interesting, but I would remind you that true art takes the forms as a foundation and transcends them. Therefore, I would not call your efforts "haikuish." If you really want to be a slave to semantic form, I guess you would need to call them "haiku art!" <br /><br />TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831169405732892599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-84297334462796245522010-02-10T23:46:41.803+08:002010-02-10T23:46:41.803+08:00I especially liked the haiku about the tree-hugger...I especially liked the haiku about the tree-hugger.David Mastershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12809185582216906363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-60512654495249758042010-02-10T23:36:31.815+08:002010-02-10T23:36:31.815+08:00Excellent post!Excellent post!Crystal Phareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14881609059618148820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8812618609344904057.post-13058247701383021202010-02-10T23:15:14.837+08:002010-02-10T23:15:14.837+08:00welcome back Chris and a Happy New Year to you!
