Sorry, the sex part was just to get your attention. However, I do want to discuss the occasional remarks disparaging poetry that are worked into various people's posts.

Different personalities pose their ideas in different ways. When people come to RoaneViews, some come to share ideas in poetic fashion, others come to play racquetball. Among the racquetball only group, there seems to be a dismissive attitude about "silly poems," and a sense of frustration that they don't understand what it is that is being said.

To understand poetry, it requires that one be still and listen. Poetry has the ability to explore profound universal truths, but not to those in a hurry. Bob Dylan is a poet, and one who would call his profound poetry "silly," could be view as rather shallow and willfully ignorant.

Racquetball on the other hand is a totally competitive undertaking, shout, yell, shout, yell, work up a sweat, gloat in victory, stomp off when defeated. It is a poor model for dialogue.

I for one would like to read more poetry and watch less racquetball on this site. Thank-you.
