...and if I can bring up a previous thread...no fair shona  . Some of us are earning our titles honestly without <multi-posting>. All this talking to oneself seems pretty fishy to me.

Hey Shona In reply to:
only sad to the extent that it means shanks may feel more inhibited about posting further delights from e.e.cummings
Very little inhibits me. Despite all the apparent undercurrents that Jo seemed to see, I was genuinely simply posting a great poem. And yes, there are a number of sites dedicated to cummings. You should be able to track down any one of his poems, if you so desire. You mentioned a few favourites. Well, one of mins is (was?) "buffalo bill's defunct".
See you around.
cheer

No, only wishful thinking (and a bit of "stirring"). I just thought a bit of on-line romance would be amusing. I was quite disappointed when I realised that Shona was Adam. Sorry if it inhibited anyone - love the poems!

ello sunshine,
Yes, I can take some inhibiting also. As you may have gathered!
Haven't seen "buffalo bill's defunct" I don't think, but I'll do a search. Ta.
P.S. I'm half looking at what I write as I write it in an attempt to suss whether I talk in sentences or not (re: your thread). And basically, I use sentences about as often as I use a diamond-studded nose-picker.

Ah, wouldn’t it be so exotic if I could say I knew these ladies socially. The answer is a tad more prosaic…there has been a rash (ooo maybe the wrong word to use while discussing this subject) of disciplinarians in the courts lately trying to have their profession legalized. Can’t help but catch your eye.

Could not the same be said for the tools of their profession, if wielded ineptly?

Very apropos to current topic and original thread post...
And the cat-‘o-nine tails kissed him gently like the fangs of a viper.
Now is that a simile? A mixed methaphor?

The Canadian courts rule so bold
How Miss Discipline tenders her hold –
Yet a movement too rash
Means the slash of the lash
Catches eyes, closed in judgmental cold

A simile in currency in Northampton when I lived there, describing someone who was in the throes of indecision, was, "He wore (i.e, was) warnderin' abowt like a faart in a colander, wonderin' which 'ole to drop threw."
