cynosure commented on: Analysis of Andrew Marvell's poem "To His Coy Mistress". by cynosure 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Moment of clarity. : I finally understand what is going on here. I recently discovered that much of my intellectual property from this site, like my poetry analyses (from my year 11 literature) has been stolen and plagiarised completely unadulterated (complete with spelling and grammar errors) in other people’s undergraduate and Master theses. Many of these theses were published recently, which begs the question of why the university wasn’t using plagiarism detection to check them? Further, I have found some to be profiteering off my work by selling it to the likes of Barnes and Noble (Bartleby) and others. Admittedly, I am partially to blame. I uploaded my work under a pseudonym (with references removed to try to deter potential theft) to a public poetry website. My reasons for this were to spread my love of English literature and, perchance, inspire young minds to appreciate it as much as I do. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Tiny Little Gears (Ticks of Eternity) by lyrycsyntyme 47 weeks 1 day* ago* I quite enjoy these exchanges, myself: Dialing back to a time that had no time - you might be inventing time in reverse. I feel like this would make a unique and challenging Sci Fi story/script on time travel. Might have to steal an already existing title, though: The Land Before Time. ; ) Thank you, again.

Teytonon commented on: Tiny Little Gears (Ticks of Eternity) by lyrycsyntyme 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Question for you..: Question for you. Or anyone else who might know. When a poem is created, the system will note the time. Sometimes the time is accurate, sometimes it's not. I'm not losing any sleep over it, but do you know why that is? Thanks. [ go to comment ]
Teytonon commented on: Tiny Little Gears (Ticks of Eternity) by lyrycsyntyme 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Hmm. That’s a very..: Hmm. That's a very thought-provoking question. I need a minute to think about it. Though if I went back to the moment before the concept of time was invented, I wouldn't know what a minute was. Hmm. Another thought-provoking question. Will someone stop provoking my thoughts please? Seriously, I enjoy chatting on topics like this. It keeps my mind engaged. I'm an admirer of your work. Keep it up! [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: 35 INCH SCREEN by georgeschaefer 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Such mourning to a massacre: Such mourning to a massacre of the hours. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Tiny Little Gears (Ticks of Eternity) by lyrycsyntyme 47 weeks 1 day* ago* haha. Thank you, sir. As: haha. Thank you, sir. As usual, your wordplay adds to your critique. Here's one for you: If you had a time machine and wanted to go back to the moment before the concept of time was invented, could you? [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Tiny Little Gears (Ticks of Eternity) by lyrycsyntyme 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Thank you, Patricia.: Thank you, Patricia. Particularly appreciate you sharing your sense of the rhythm in the poem. It came across to you just as I intended in writing it, and that's yet another helpful share among many you've been so kind to divulge. Also, how you picked out the four lines you've highlighted above and granted them stand alone value is not just a much appreciated compliment but also speaks to your poetic senses, because I wrote them before much of the second stanza and built around them. I appreciate the generosity of time you've given to my poems over the years. I'm surely far from alone in this appreciation. [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: Tiny Little Gears (Ticks of Eternity) by lyrycsyntyme 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Thank you, once more, for: Thank you, once more, for such kind words, as well as the way you can connect something so small as my poem with other, grand things. Your description of the way in which atoms charge the stars is quite poetic, in itself. : ) Regarding Stevens, I absolutely love the title "No Possum, No Sop, No Taters" - I think it's one of the most interesting and intriguing titles ever created. That's a real gift, to be able to create such a specific title, yet not give away the poem. He had that. Again, my gratitude. Thank you for taking the time and sharing - as you do so well - what about Tiny Little Gears made it for you. [ go to comment ]

arielle commented on: thoughts I keep from my father by arielle 47 weeks 1 day* ago* I am very glad that you got: I am very glad that you got to reconnect after your heart surgery. I hope to reach that point with my father. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: Nights by Nolarak 47 weeks 1 day* ago* That truly is the sum total: That truly is the sum total of missing someone so much. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: thoughts I keep from my father by arielle 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Thank you. When I underwent: Thank you. When I underwent heart surgery in 2007 (with only three in twenty chances to survive), he and I began to reconcile. He died ten months after my surgery. I think at the end we were closer than we ever had been in my life. [ go to comment ]

S74rw4rd commented on: A Couple Of Ways I Used To Aggravate My Mother by J-C4113d 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Thank you for that kind: Thank you for that kind compliment. It seemed always fun to aggravate her, even when I was an adult. After my father passed away, some of my other relatives began to find out what a nut my mother really was. [ go to comment ]
S74rw4rd commented on: In Anticipation Of November 9th by J-C4113d 47 weeks 1 day* ago* Thank you for those words. : Thank you for those words. The theory has been online since early 2001. I have never seen it overturned, although it was plagiarized once and I had to take steps to assert my legal rights. A search engine query will bring up the crime scene photographs, which are a little rough . . . even considering the crude technique at that time. [ go to comment ]
