Beautiful birdsong bequeaths bright rebirth
Telling tuneful tales to those that torpor
Willow witnesses warbling wrens well-nigh
Singing such sweet salutations to the sky
My mind may mellow, my memory mar
But birdsong brings brio to my body by far
-------------------------------------
The birds woke me up at 4.30 am this morning (they're very loud here). Bastards.

I doubt we'll get on, I speak my mind, don't take kindly to idiots and rate on the harsh side.
Don't like the kinda person who'll go find a 7 month old post to give a revenge rating to either.

Hey Woody, maybe we can start again. I'll bring the wine. You bring the cheese. (I saved olives off the branch). And I don't even like olives so you can have all of them. And there is plenty of humble pie to go round. And, er... 'make-up' cheesecake.
Yes, I am pretentious and condescending and extremely annoying on Ubersite, it brings out the worst in me sometimes. Sorry.
To round off on a nice note, one of my favourite scenes in The Simpsons - 'The Homer They Fall' is when he enters the boxing ring with the theme tune "Why can't we be friends" by War. Makes me laugh every time.

Jesus fucking christ.
You complain about sucky posts.
Then you post a shitty six line poem. And Another shitty poem, and a picture of your dog.
Then you complain about people pointing out the hypocracy.
The standard on Uber is higer now than it once was. There are a great many people who think the shit on this site is the people posting about their dog or their weight or how they just broke up or someone they know died.
Posts like than can be good. But there are a lot of people who would +2 a post like that no matter the standard on the general principle that someone who just got dumped or who's Uncle just died or whatever deserves good ratings.
Stop fucking whinging. If people -2 you its because they do not like your post.

I wouldn't give you such a hard time if you hadn't posted some drivel about "ubersite sucks now" when you first came back, and then proceed to make it suck WORSE!
That's a lie, you're annoying enough to have bothered me either way.
-------------------------------------------------------
corn_nugget, my very first post (back in 2002) http://www.ubersite.com/m/4581 was a whinge about Ubersite. Me complaining about it is nothing new. Why are you taking it personally? You have a good rating here, you obviously post things of interest. So why would I necessarily be talking about you or your posts if I say that things about Ubersite suck?
Do you mean to tell me you were offended by my comments because you love everything and everybody (except me) on this website? You don't like someone attacking a website you cherish?
I think what you didn't like was someone leaving a website for a year and then coming back and having a pop. That in your mind, I had left, so now I am a newbie and have to 'prove' myself again with posts that are worthy of your attention, because now you are an important person on this site and I am a noob. Or worse than that, you think that I'm someone who thinks they know it all because they used to hang out here a long time ago but I'm not 'with it' anymore, like a old lady who smells of wee telling you about the 2nd world war and what an important person she was then. You're saying to me, "Fuck Off Grandma you're boring and smell of wee and a nobody. NOBODY"!
Ok, so let's get to the crux of the matter. What you are actually doing, when you minus 2 my posts is being as immature as all the idiots who I think suck and make Ubersite suck. You aren't rating my poetry on content, you're saying you don't like me. And the only recent post you did +2 you said you DIDN'T READ IT! http://www.ubersite.com/m/88756#2005939
Why comment or rate a post you don't bother to read? I think Ubersite is (or at least should be) about rating based on content, not on if you like or dislike someone, or rating based on a topic you like or dislike. You don't like poetry? Fine, don't read my poetry. Don't say that it sucks if you dislike all poetry, read something else. Or at least be consistent and minus 2 every piece of poetry you read on Ubersite (not just mine).
Me posting poetry isn't anything new by the way (an example) http://www.ubersite.com/m/33532 and people didn't use to consistently -2 it like they have done recently. I don't think that my writing has changed or reduced in quality, I think the majority of people have changed - there are more and more idiots here, being more and more aggressive to people who can actually write properly and who have things to say, that they don't want to listen to because they are ignoramus cunts.
I can see why Bigmike prefers to post on Pulsehead. It makes sense to me that people like Bart and Razor and Loren1 and Insanethemind (and all the people whose posts I used to adore and come back to here for) don't post here so much 1. because they've got better things to do and 2. because they think the site is going down the shitter.
The saddest part of it is, that some people who are thought of as good posters like you corn_nugget, share the group mentality of the bottom-feeding herd. When you could be setting a good example you're encouraging newbies to act like arseholes. Congratulations, and I hope you're proud of yourself for behaving like a bitch.

Agonizing alliteration always aches and appalls.
----------
Isn't that more assonance?
===========
If you're a purist, perhaps it is. Older English texts refer to it
as alliteration, while Modernists say that alliteration only applies
to the use of words beginning with consonants.
-=-==--==--==--=-=
I always thought Alliteration was the repitition of consonants while Assonance was the repitition of vowel sounds.
