While prose can include some 'poetic' phrases, splitting up a piece of prose into uneven lines does not make it a poem. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,063 Posted February 5, 2018 There's nothing wrong with a good prose piece. No need to dismember it in the cause of "poetry". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,397 Posted February 5, 2018 Tbf I feel the same about a good bed and the cause of art, but hell if I got a Tracy Emin sized check I'd probably change my opinions very quickly too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Much prefer Lie on your back Heals to Jesus Think of handbags Okay I admit it, this is bothering me. I presume that this is instructions to a woman from a man. Also I presume that the word 'heals' is simply atrocious spelling and the correct word intended is 'heels'. But then I imagine being a woman lying on her back trying to point her heels at Jesus (who again I presume is in heaven) and I worry that my wife is simply not flexible enough. (plus I presume that in the final line the reference to handbags the intention is not to link the fact that the bottom of a handbag has more germs on it than a dog's anus). So much to think about in three lines it's ruining my afternoon at work. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably just means that a specific targeted cancer drug was known to work especially well and better on people of direct or close chinese or Asian descent. Some drugs are like that and work better on people of specific ethnic backgrounds scientists are starting to understand. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,397 Posted February 16, 2018 Yes, because the history of medicine is that medical techniques found to work on any sub-section of society have never been developed further. Hence why most of us are still dying of smallpox. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TQR 14,352 Posted March 8, 2018 Quote And try saying to yourself: I deserve to live. I deserve life. I am worthy of love. I am loved. Take as often as required!!!!! And go tell someone you love them, starting with yourself. I’ll go first: I love you. Now pass it on. Namaste – a thousand blessings. I tried it. People around me thought otherwise.
