Loki Wyrd Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 An interesting read. Oh, and some nitpicking on my part... truthfull...should it not be truthful? therefor is a word, but I've always been used to the therefore spelling myself, but I guess to each their own...

Appy Posted October 4, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 (edited) Thanks for your comment, Loki Heh and thank you for nit-picking too, it is indeed "truthful" (I still don't get when it's one l and when 2... someone able to explain maybe?) About 'therefor' or 'therefore', I checked merriam-webster on those and these are the definitions: Therefor : for or in return for that <ordered a change and gave his reasons therefor> Therefore 1 a : for that reason : CONSEQUENTLY b : because of that c : on that ground 2 : to that end I'm therefore () keeping my 'therefor' since I think it is sufficient and I believe that this part of the definition; in return for that, fits perfectly into the poem.. better then the definition of 'therefore' in my mind babble babble *giggle*... thanks again loki, I've learned something new now. There's definitly the possibility that a different way of spelling has big influence on meaning, I'm going to have to keep that in mind EDIT: *sigh* offcourse even I see that both definitions are the same in that their meanings are the same.. I still like the Idea that "my" 'therefor' means; in return for that... just a little thing I saw after I re-read my post. Appy out.

Ayshela Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 but true nonetheless that subtleties in spelling can greatly change the meaning. that the change in this case is shadowy is immaterial, the insight gained is well worthwhile. *hugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Zen_ Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 well... after drawing that in, where to begin to respond. i think its the best poem i have read by you appy. the repetition works nicely, and although formatting is a small thing, it is effective. only one question. when are we gonna get some happier topics!!!!!?!?! hehe, good work appy.

Parmenion Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Grand read Appy - great layout. Regarding when 2 "l"'s are used and when one "l" is used I haven't figured that one out either so look forward to an elder's reponse on the thinking behind that. Personally I believe in poetic licence - spell the words whatever the hell way feels good, long as peoepl can still understand them sure then what is the problem? Heh!
