I get S.A.D. - and this is excellent

I'm sorry to jump it like this, but I can only think of one word longer at the moment. 21 letters? counterintelligence A government's espionage activities in protection of its local or national interests against enemy spies, often involving disseminating false information. Identifying the citizens as enemies of the state can result in politicians and media misrepresenting truth in order to maintain or secure power.

camouflageable Making a new longer word post to revive a fun thread...

Thank you for your diligence in defending us, and all your hard work. You are appreciated.

I found myself reading this out loud - it's really good. up or down, passion is filling with feeling. I think you really captured something here. Darned good read.

Peredhil tries to restrain Guido, but is dragged into the Cabaret by the Giant Guinea Pig. Finally he drops and covers his eyes, knowing too well the gleam in Guido's eye and smile. "Noooo," he moans Youse Guys! I gots one! the Bodyguard says with a toothy grin cunnilinguses he says triumphantly, "it's from the Latin; He who licks the vulva. But the root is from India, as you can find in the holy book the Kama Sutra." A flash of Blue and a Portal closes around the surprised Rodent of Unusual Size.

cybernetics - the study of automated systems

A tie! I love ties, because that means one less loser. But I should've counted - I just threw out the longest 'b' word of which I could think. flying by - but next would be 8? Cabalist! One versed in the Jewish Mysteries. I was a member of Celembrimbor's Cabalists, which had nothing to do with the Jewish at all.

bacteriochlorophyll basically a pigment in bacteria that lets them photosynthesize like plants do, if I recall correctly. I didn't count letters, did I skip again?

Sorry to jump the letter count, but seeing Savage Dragon's name brought to mind: bloodthirstiness

babysitter: One who has adventures with seated children.

Well Katz' got me. The only ones I can come up with (after sitting and consuming an entire Mountain Dew!) are plurals like antiauthoritarianisms or skipping right to what Katz' already claimed. I suppose I could crank out a medical term or resort to searching a dictionary - some of those are true jaw-crankers, but that sounds too uncouth, like speaking Dwarven. bows and retires in defeat on the longest "a" word to Katz' (quick edit) Notes Gyrfalcon's note to his note and hopes he hasn't cheated. "Have you tried a treatise on phrenology? It was one of the mappings on the head diagram I had on my wall once. Maybe wikipedia, or britannica?"

(someone stop me...) Elrohir bursts in, and is nearly forced back by a wave of bubbly waters. "Dad!" he cries, "You'll flood the lower floors! I don't think you'll find Mynx an accommodationist, blithely swallowing her view on waters to be polite!"

(sorry can't resist) It comes as a revelation to him, apocalyptically so to say, that his rug is about to get wet when he feels the water through his slippers.

what's next? 14 letters? Peredhil ponders absentmindedly on what "a" word would have more than 13 letters. So distracted is he that he doesn't notice the bath water he's been running is beginning to overflow...

What a perversely dark image of the dangers of Meth. I think you've really captured something here. I would like to see this with more punctuation than the period at the end. You have a knack of painting emotional images with your words - raw and jagged to read. Good Stuff Chey'.

I like the feeling of fear you captured here. I think a bit of punctuation might help to reflect the pauses that happened when I read it aloud. In line 3 - "as" instead of "like" felt better when I tried it - what do you think? I do know it's WONDERFUL to see you posting again.

*hug*

He not only had half-brothers, but half-sisters too, but they didn't get named. I love the image of you and Jesus sitting and laughing together. That's the relationship that I'd like to have with him. What a wonderful dream! *gives her a high five* Thanks for sharing it. Now I've got a smile where I didn't before.

(sneaks in and gives her a recovery day from all the birth day's events)

*hugs and prayers*

Heh, I love this sort of thing. Like the "this song has no title" song. *hugs*

Always good to see you here. As I age, it's easier to lament the past than live the present. But face to the future is the course I must take.

1) I bought 5 tickets from a girl in High School on whom I had a semi-crush. I gave 4 away and saved one for my scrap book. It won a hand-made quilt that had been donated to the raffle by my cub-scout Den-Mother before she died. I'd take the quilt. 2) Heart Bear 3) my Beatles cap

Memento - you sound very knowledgeable on the subject as well as passionate. Too cool! Join and get busy in the Critic's Corner! That's the place that people post things for the really down and gritty learning process feedback. We don't have many who can provide your type of feedback and it's needed. Many of our members are just average guy/gal-on-the-street who, if they've ever thought about poetry, did it only in the shower and laughed uneasily at themselves when they said it. My "Should I post?" poem is written to that type. You have skill AND training on criticizing - I really think you'd be a strong addition in the right place - the Critic's Corner. Fortunately, you picked Sparhawk to whom to make suggestions; I know from experience how strong he is and so it was no problem. Some of our other members prolly would've curled up emotionally and died at the strength of your feedback! suggestively, Peredhil
