I love it when you stick it to all those clowns who demand obvious literal meanings. 555

:-D Thanks Johnny...I knew you'd find a Moody Blues one sooner or later. This one was fun.

you know what, old-fashioned minds DO meld as one - nice observation - 555 adagio (should help cure the effects of 3s-guy)

Thanks Stuart...for the words and the boodt in score. ;)

Stuart, I meant boost.

the mis-spelling didn't flummox me adagio - whenever I read your stuff I apply a lateral approach to every word :-)

Fine write, and great spoken part at the end.

Still waiting for that fantasy novel.

(SOTM) Very vivid and poetic. Although I have no idea what it's about. But that's typical of me when I read poetry.

Thanks, Rick and Scathe

SOTM--nice job, Adagio.

(SOTM) Particularly like the "Just where my youth is..." couplet! Nicely done and perfectly scanned!

Thanks Melhi.

Paul Robinson - December 13, 2004 - Report this comment

(SOTM) - Wonderful work - 5's - your replacement words matched the OS lyrics just about perfectly in pace & cadence, flowed poetically and also made complete sense (at least to me they did). Can't be done much better than that.

Adagio - December 13, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks Paul. :-) That's very sweet of you!

John Jenkins - December 13, 2004 - Report this comment

I agree with Paul, except it did not make complete sense to me. Of course, a lot of things don't make complete sense to me so I can't hold that against you. Well done, Adagio.

Thanks John J.

Phil Alexander - December 14, 2004 - Report this comment

What JJ said... I always had that problem in English class when the teacher would ask what the poet meant - at one point I answered "How should I know - he's obvious couched it in poetic language just to confuse poor schoolchildren like me" ;-)

Thanks Phil!

I guess I'm less like P-Rob, to whom this made "complete sense," and more like one of Johnny DD's "clowns who demand obvious literal meanings." And you managed to "stick it to" me once again. But kudos for making me feel moody. And blue.

Paul Robinson - December 19, 2004 - Report this comment

Spaff (and others) - so now you can really begin to comprehend just how demented and deranged I REALLY am...(maybe) ~ ~ ~ be careful when you demand literal meanings, though...sometimes they can really give you the blues...

Adagio - December 19, 2004 - Report this comment

Thanks Spaff...I really didn't try to make you feel moody or blue. :/

Paul , thanks. I think if I look close enough at your comment, there may be a slight dig, eh? lol

Spaff.com - December 19, 2004 - Report this comment

Kiddin' about the moody and blue thing, Pat. Just a little wordplay I couldn't resist.

Tim Mayfield - December 22, 2004 - Report this comment

(SOTM) Adagio, I should give you a lower score because you brought back high school memories with this one. Ugh! ;-) Seriously, this is so opposite my style that it's hard to grade it. I wrote a poetic imagery poem in high school that I thought was atrocious but the teacher gave it an A+ and kept berating the other students about doing better. I just don't know good poetry when I read (or write) it.

Thanks Tim...but did you like it? There are no additional votes. :)

Hey, two SOTM entries in a row using the word "loom"; I bet that's never happened before. Anyway, great pacing; nice job.

Interesting, yet confusing, Adag! Yet a good read, I would write more but I now have a sudden need to visit my therapist!

(ABC05) Lol, the irony Adagio. I said on the parody I made of NIWS that nothing further need be said, yet now something further need be said. Already voted this 555. As far as saying something other than "good job" here, I'm still at a loss for words at the moment, other than "surreal" I suppose.

Note: Surreal is good.

Stuart McArthur - July 03, 2005 - Report this comment

(H) already commented, and already made the point that I've already commented - gotta admit that, like Spaff, I prefer literal meaning too, but I make exception for your stuff Adagio, because it comes across as personal and poetic

Adagio, reading your poetry is like having a giant spoonful of chocolate icecream slowly melting down the back of my eyes. Wonderful work as usual.

Jeff, I love it when somebody takes enough time to think about different styles of writing!

Luke.....LOLOL...I got that image in my mind!

ABC--I read this before for SOTM...and it WAS like a captivating poem...as others have said. Not that I could understand it...but...; )

2nz - July 06, 2005 - Report this comment

Your use of the original song is so clever in certain instances, that that in and of itself is funny and captivating. So this gets a 'clever and captivating' from me, Pat. And that's all I have to say about that.
