NO. <BR/><BR/>And let's just say right now that if I ever tell someone I've written a poem about them, it's more likely to be a threat than a seduction. ;)Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-77665718472722246662007-08-25T21:26:00.000-04:002007-08-25T21:26:00.000-04:00Peeve, pet variety: People using "poetry" as a syn...<I>Peeve, pet variety: People using "poetry" as a synonym for "beauty." E.g., "When James Blake hits a killer forehand it's pure poetry."</I><BR/><BR/>Oh god, yes. That bugs me too. Also, when "poetry" is used in a way that means "sappy love crap." Like I was taking some dumb girly quiz online the other day, and they sandwiched the question, "Do you like poetry?" among a bunch of questions like "Do you like red roses?" "Do you like long walks on the beach?" Like poetry is just an accessory for a cheesy date. Do people really think this way about poetry? Ugh!<BR/><BR/>--Meg aka quiet_flameAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
