HopperWolf Posted February 8, 2003 Report Posted February 8, 2003 Look at me only when it suits you, See me when there’s nothing left, Turn away at the merest whisper, Of something better; something else. Pay me only half attention, See me with distracted eyes, Pet me just to keep me quiet, Treat me as I do despise. Take everything you can from me, Use it as you so desire, Seek not to repay any quarter, Of what I give and do aspire.
Deadly Nightshade Posted February 9, 2003 Report Posted February 9, 2003 See I do read them and They are good I wounder why I did not read them more sooner....(oh god... more sooner.... whats wrong with me?)
HopperWolf Posted February 9, 2003 Author Report Posted February 9, 2003 i think many things are likely to be wrong with you, and that's just from the last few hours of posting! http://www.themightypen.net/public/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif but I think I like you anyway Thanks for the compliment and the reading though

Zariah Posted February 10, 2003 Report Posted February 10, 2003 Look at me only when it suits you, See me when there’s nothing left, Turn away at the merest whisper, Of something better; something else. Pay me only half attention, See me with distracted eyes, Pet me just to keep me quiet, Treat me as I do despise. Take everything you can from me, Use it as you so desire, Seek not to repay any quarter, Of what I give and do aspire. This really caught me in the throat. I know what it is like on both ends of this situation. I like the rhyme. The choice of words give it a tone of sadness and anger, but not an attacking anger- a message to someone, to anyone really. I hope that those people who take advantage of others' generosity can open their eyes to how others feel. Thank you for writing this poem.
HopperWolf Posted February 10, 2003 Author Report Posted February 10, 2003 *s* it was my pleasure... it is good to know when your work touches someone.
Rune Posted February 15, 2003 Report Posted February 15, 2003 Rune walks over to Hopperwolf and looks him straight in the eye. She sniffles, slightly, before rubbing her arm across her nose. Hugging the wolf around the neck she turns to leave. Hopperwolf appears confused and wanders what made the child cry. As the tiny demon disappears from sight he can hear her voice echoing in his head. Her silhouette shows that she stops one last time to turn and glance at Hopperwolf before leaving the room completely. This poem hits close to home (for reasons I will not go into). None the less, out of all the poems I have read today, this one remains, echoed in my mind. Thank you for sharing it Hoppie, It is really a work of art.
HopperWolf Posted February 15, 2003 Author Report Posted February 15, 2003 Hopper rushes after Rune and hugs her back. I am glad that you could connect to my poem. and I am sorry for you pain. Hopper sniffles and wanders off too
Archaneus Posted February 16, 2003 Report Posted February 16, 2003 I like this one. Archaneus walks over and gives Rune a hug in a diplay of emotion rare for him. I don't like using the words "I'm sorry" because they are an apology not a expression of caring, but i express that expression of caring. Even though everyone knows pain goes away it is sometimes necessary to be reminded. Hop - Great poem. Keep up the good work.
