Can You Relate To Confessions? Even When Phrased in Prose Browning Would Bury?

We, Asians (not just Chinese), are all too motherly indeed! Look, she's even risking business for your perceived welfare, lol.

Nice li'l episode...well told. :)

Well I hate the devout individuals who have no idea how you can keep there religion to there ******* selves. Each time any person says they're a devout character or god fearing, I consider in my head they ought to SHUT THE **** UP. I do not want to hear that crap preserve it to your self. I recognize that individuals have faith to have hope and provides them something to feel in on account that it feels just right. Then the humans who deny all of the evolution that they call crap. If we failed to develop like this how would tad pools come to be frogs or we see new animal creatures appearing always. WTF individuals if evolution of individuals was no longer authentic and god put us here on the planet you could as good say god is magic. Evolution is actual its been shown to you via many men and women on the earth and but you deny it. GET OUT OF YOUR CLOSET and spot THE SUNSHINE. And the idiots around the world that said international warming is just not real. Why do you feel so many ******* asians are atheist? It's since they are able to recognize the fact there is not any better power that can save you or absolutely do some thing for you. Believe as so much as you like you can not say god is actual when there used to be nothing to base him off of with actual proof except the bible which we do not know how so much of was proper for the reason that it was made method approach method method back within the day. Individuals were not that smart back then too so how sure are you able to be to believe any one with an IQ decrease than one. **** YOU dumb shits. I wasn't just talking about christians and stuff. But more often than not christians have no idea how one can control themselves with there beliefs in my experiences. THAT FELT excellent TO GET OFF THE CHEST Heh who is the writer of the bible?

Others have already commented on your poem, which

I like by the way.I'll instead comment on the substance.

The stranger who projected their beliefs, " you cook,

you no get man " as though it is absolute.A common theme

with humans.The kind gift of your humanity to the old folks,

exposes your heart.The strength shown in the ability to adapt

for not having a license, yet still in motion with life.

The liquor a small gift to yourself,

I say this as though I know, it still may only be a story

written in a poem, on the internet by someone I don't

even know..but it was fun to read and fun to answer

no matter how far off base my answer may be..

The episode is lovely: well chosen, clearly described, and almost as pitiless toward the narrator as it is to the restaurateuse. It was particularly fine how much subtext you loaded onto the bicycle to the liquor store.

The first line is dreadful: it tells the reader what to think before the poem has even started. The only time you should tell a reader what to think is when you need to annoy her.

You could drop that first line, even the whole three line sentence. Let your reader discover what is happening in the poem for herself.

We aren't dumb.

A worthy performance my lady. Very well done. May I though, a question I am sure you can answer. I am strictly talking aesthetics, readability, format, like a good, well spaced resume so the prospective employer will read it.

Would it not be better with this long a free verse to break is into stanza's.>? Just asking, and curious, cause to me it would make for a much easier read.

Can you translate this to any language, so all can enjoy.

Congrats!

sometimes people make assumptions about a person they know nothing about. also sometimes people say things that might offend someone because to them its a good thing. like someone might say you should be this way if you want to get such n such. they dont consider that being abnegated and submissive isnt a good thing for everyone given that its a good thing for them. sometimes its about the intent of the poem. dont like browning. dont know why.

gene, was cought by surprise by the phrase have the mendacity to fit us into their world.. powerful conviction as well as some fighting words, but true. some people do it out of ignorance but also some do it to 'put us in our place'.

I always relate to confession since I'm a long way from perfect.

There is no crime in getting take out, though your restaurant owner is as hilarious as she is caring and tactless.

This was fun to read. Thank you.

This poem has nothing to do with exotic foods.

It's about how absolute strangers we interact

with, have the mendacity to fit us into Their world,

(our wants or needs be damned).

Some can sense our vulnerabilities, like bloodhounds.

They fold us into paper airplanes, and send us

sailing away.

Audaciously clever, layered metaphor, adeline.

'confessions of a single person'...

just so you know, it is not any better as guy...

the sad looks from the delivery kid, the questions about future grandkids by parents and the slowly but constantly growing liqueur store purchases.

i liked this a lot and can relate.

I strongly suggest Beef with ginger and scallions - beef lo mein - chicken fried rice. All together with a hearty appetite. You made me smile, and glad cause you ride a bike.

You no get good food Chinese-Greek-wild combo, no behave good, right?

So have fried calamari, sun dried octopus, fried red mullet and sheepshead, dentex and grouper, all on coals. Eat well, be strong, grandma said.

So forget Greek salad, eat sea food, all Greece surrounded sea - see? See!

A proper confession includes an admission of guilt.
