Very beautiful SingMia. Would love 2 hear it on piano

Pls record it.

that's cool but i think if you're going to do poetry, you should know how to punctuate. there's an apostrophe in you're (you are) and there's no apostrophe for ownership (your).

otherwise, some very nice imagery and wordplay.

ok you're obviously a nutcase. i suppose correct grammar, spelling and punctuation is some sort of evil designed by the powers that be? nevermind then.

A "nutcase" because the writer of a poem doesn't care about correct puncuation/spelling? Then making a judgement on someone based on the rules you were taught?

How's Prince's grammer/spelling? Lecture him on spelling and puncuation or appreciate the art and take a

Grammar.

I wrote a lengthy response, but I can predict your rebuttal, so nevermind. You need to take some of your own advice with the stuff.

Part of my original response was that Prince was a high achiever in school. He has no problem with spelling and punctuation. Apart from the obvious "2 U", et al, he has a good command of the language.

Like anything in art, you have to know the rules before you can break them.

I love the SENTIMENT behind this poem, though.

JohnP said:

Whatever, we'll agree to disagree but when you judge people and call them names here I'm not going to accept it. or no

The only rules are the ones you impose on yourself and I misspelled grammer on purpose but that cleverness was lost on you.

Slave2daGroove said:

Come on, Slave, that's pretty ridiculous. The kind of thing a kid would come back with. I highly doubt that was your intention - very easy to say after the fact - but in any case, I don't care. I don't want to argue any further on singmia's thread. I wish I'd never commented on this thread at all. The internet has a way of making reasonable people butt heads.



No further comments from me, except you don't need to apologise to ME singmia...I apologise to you.

I'm not positive about this, but if you are saying, "I hope you are laughing by now", then you are making a shortened version of the two words, "you" and "are", which would result in the word "you're". See how you include the e at the end to make sure people do not think that you are talking about some object of theirs that you call a "laughing" - because the word "your" means "you own that thing that I am talking about", whereas the word "you're" means "you are".

I am not sure if anybody clarified that or not. Your = "you own it" and YOU'RE = YOU ARE.

Let me know if your confused.

respectful said:

TO HELP EVERYBODY just change the You're and anything ya wanna in your mind to "U".

GODBLISS.

Personally I can't help but think that a person isn't edumacated if they can't differentiate between things like "your" and "you're" or "there" and "their" or even "hear" and "here". Sure we all make mistakes and typos and what not... but once you realize you wrote something the wrong way, why not fix it? As opposed to continuing to look like someone who missed that day in school and just doesn't give a shit.

Now every once in a while I get confused about "your" and "you're"... but it's only because I've been exposed to so many people here on Prince.org using these words incorrectly. So now the wrong way is embedded in my brain.

respectful said:

I really don't understand why you don't fix it. You take enough time to color, bold and italicize what you type...

VinaBlue said:

vina, you always come through.

that's what i've been trying to say. i feel the same reading some of the stuff people "write" in this place....it's really hard to think anything other than them not being particularly educated. i don't mean not intelligent, just not educated.

singmia, you'll never get published if you don't know how to use contractions. simple as that. but i guess you don't want to get published. you're a little stubborn with this.

jack kerouac and william s. burroughs are two good examples of writers who broke the rules, but they did KNOW the rules before breaking them.

it's not clear that you actually know the difference is the thing.
