The problem with you is that you lie and misrepresent so much, Michael

Of course I don't expect you to admit it, Pendragon.

Any so-called "misrepresentation" you can find was based on one of

Oh, so HarryLiar wants proof? Let's look at his next paragraph:

I only know you from what you post here, Donkey.  If you write a poem
based on a "romantic interlude" where you grope a woman you barely knew,
then I'm going to say that you sexually assaulted her (because according
to your poem, that's exactly what you did).

Harry Liar reposted an "edited" poem Will had written over 40 years ago
about a dream he'd had. You reposted part of the poem, snipping the line
about it being a dream, to falsely accuse him of sexual assault.

I Met A Girl
>
I met a girl
she came from California.
It was in a dream
we knew each other instantly.
She was a little freckled girl
from out of
my high school past.

And she looked up at me
and talked real spacey.
I've forgotten her name
though she told it to me twice.
>
We talked
a really detached situation.
She said years ago
I was so shy
she thought I was gay.
At this point I kissed her
and put my finger to her hole.

And she looked up at me

I have forgotten her name
though she told it to me twice.

I don't know why it was
that I would think of her.
I made a couple of puns
about her name that made me blush.
But her softness in tone
made me feel all right.

All I want to do

Again, this poem was written in 1982, during my time in the Atlanta
Georgia New Wave punk rock scene, while also influenced by the earlier
Beatnik poets
I was reading at the time, such as Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and
Charles Bukowski among others.

Both styles employed a sort of crude swagger in the tone and content

And again, the poem is your attempt to recast what can only be seen as
an act of  sexual assault (at least insofar as it's depicted in your
poem) as a "romantic interlude" from you past.

>
No, that's your attempt to misrepresent the meaning of my poem.
>
HTH and HAND.

The meaning of your poem (or any given poem) is derived from the words
that comprise it.
The meaning of your poem is quite clear.  It's just not the meaning
you'd intended it to have.
