Elizabeth, it surely is most fit
[Logic and common usage so commanding]
In thy own book that first thy name be writ,
Zeno and other sages notwithstanding;
And I have other reasons for so doing
Besides my innate love of contradiction;
Each poet - if a poet - in pursuing
The muses thro' their bowers of Truth or Fiction,
Has studied very little of his part,
Read nothing, written less - in short's a fool
Endued with neither soul, nor sense, nor art,
Being ignorant of one important rule,
Employed in even the theses of the school-
Called - I forget the heathenish Greek name
[Called anything, its meaning is the same]
"Always write first things uppermost in the heart."

Can anyone remember/tell me what these ^ types of poems are called? A poem written to someone the writer is romantically interested is, and whose name is spelled out by the first letter of each line.

I think they're called acrostics? Maybe?

yeah, just acrostic, unless there is a special name for romance versions with names.

My girlfriend just said she thinks she was bitten by a snake on the foot.. but it was 2 days ago and its only swollen now, so I guess everything is fine.. still, strange

I know it's called an acrostychon in Dutch, but I didn't know the English term. I learnt something today, yay.


[QUOTE]That sounds like a very cool pub. I can't imagine everyone not immediately making out with everyone else when Morphine came on over the speakers.[/QUOTE]

Considering that I was with two guys there, I'm glad we didn't. It wasn't very loud though, only background music, that might have been it.

[QUOTE=Bartender]You made him* watch it, I trust?[/QUOTE]
*her, and of course I did. Though we were the only two who ended up doing so :confused:

On an unrelated note, do you have a Geordie accent?

Hehe, all of the ads at the top of the page are for Bartenders.

It's pretty lonely around here right now. I'm surprised more people aren't on in the middle of the day. I guess that's what I get for staying home sick from school.

Shadows, your comments on me in the R+Mer Of The Month thread nearly made me cry!

/Hugs.

Wouldn't you have gotten it checked out (by someone vaguely professional on the subject, I mean) rather than just waiting to see if it got bad or better?

Compared to my uncle and other stronger Geordie accents, I don't have much of one, but often when I'm talking to people from outside of the area (especially my Italian-American great aunt in Florida - she thinks I, and the rest of my family, have "such a thick Geordie accent") I'm told it's more noticeable.

I think I had more of an accent (along with the slang and mannerisms) when I was younger, but I've kind of 'tamed' it as I've grown older.

Yeh, but putting it in the words you did makes it all better.

Shame i'm just a drunken lout.

Of course. Your drunkeness is part of what makes you so entertaining, don't kid yourself.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Of course. Your drunkeness is part of what makes you so entertaining, don't kid yourself.[/QUOTE]

Don't say that! People shouldn't have to be drunk to be entertaining. :-/

Now Joe's gonna become an alcoholic, thinking he doesn't stand a chance unless he's drunk. :p

You would have gotten a vote from me too Arucard, except it looks like we're only doing a one-nomination-a-person thing...?

Joe will never become an alcoholic! I won't let him throw his life down the sh[SIZE=2]i[/SIZE]tter, now matter how entertaining I find it!

I think you can nominate as many people as you want.

yes, you can nominate as many people as you want, but as of now, I can only think of one person ho deserves it.

/thinks of what happended last month

What happened last month?

Well I think each person only needs one nomination to go through to the next round, so it doesn't matter if you vote for him again or not, for example.

magik - why do you ask?

Wow, this new Cryptopsy album really, [I]really[/I] blows.

Al is looking for Geordies to add to his collection of people with cool accents, he puts them in glass jars. He already has Welsh and Scousers (?).

Well I knew he was seeking Geordies, but I thought I was safe, being miles away from him :(

This nails it pretty well.

Adding more nominations never hurts though because it'll just give that person more recognition for what they do anyways.

My Geordie accent is cool. People make me say Byker Grove or announce what day it is in the Big Brother house. :upset: Loads of people hate it as well which is mean.

To make a thread on the new HIM album or not? I'd be interested in real opinions but....

Don't trust him. He's a peeping pervert.

Very true. I find it to be poorly speeded up noise, i don't see what the big deal over them is. I'd rather listen to Behemoth than that hyper speed shi[SIZE=2]t[/SIZE]e.

Old Cryptopsy was great - their first three albums have some really cool stuff on them. But the new one is just garbage. I'd rather listen to other bands like Behemoth (who I love) than this crap.
