Saying something conscructively critical is difficult here – but then it should be. We all need constructive criticism, but no one needs to like it. But anyway, if we had something critical to say, it probably wouldn’t pass muster.

The “Norm” will out in all of us — we need a new benchmark!

What is the use of metaphors if you can only talk in forked tongues? As I’ve never herd of the “that’s a Forth Bridge paint job.”

The cliché isn’t a cliché anymore…it’s over the hill.

Dan, with all due respect, it’s a tradition that’s been established here, and a harmless one I think. It would be different if one foisted these “comments” on the original article itself. At least that’s how I see it. One is simply having fun and contributing to the site as well. I’m sorry if you disapprove-no offense or disrespect is ever intended.

It’s so thin, this thing,
This “norm” on Jim Geary’s website,
That separates, like shark fin soup,
The men from the boys,
Light and darkness,
Bull-shine from pastiche,
But as for the wall dividing
Dear Danny Leiberman’s brains from his
Sunlight and shadow:
It has no thickness at all,
As it’s just an opinion,
Dear Boy!

The aphorist who uses the comment section on someone’s sincerely written and thought out essay just to foist their own work on us with NO reference to the author. I can’t tell you how narcissistic and rude this is. It seems to be practically the ‘norm’ on Mr. Geary’s site, I’m surprised he tolerates it.

When you hit rock-bottom there is no bottom.

You don’t have to know who dug the well to draw water from it.

We’re all drowning, but don’t say it out loud.

Carpenters are paid to build houses, not explain how houses are built.

Fog can hide a city, but not itself.

So Thin

It’s so thin
This veil that separates
Light and darkness
But as for the wall dividing
Sunlight and shadow
It has no thickness at all
