Testing?

Ple-bei-an nice to me I meant you not harm
Don't get mad and try to rip off my arm
You tested the waters and made a misplace
Your testing thread belongs in another space.... Bible Discussion Forum

Cookie?

Oh give me a home
where the buffalo Rome
and the deer and the antelope play
where seldom is heard
a discouraging word
and the plebian commoners stay.....

OP, your test was such a monologue
I'd be well within my rights to call you a thread hog
But I won't do that, cause that's mean and irrelevant
Cause the fact that this is out of place is quite evident

Ask a mod to move it; why would they refuse?
But please while you're here, do not blow a fuse
We like to give each other cookies and be nice
So stick with us and have a treat; that's my advice!

Well, at least, you have an adaquate vocabulary ... but, again, give us your definition of poetry?

I've taught fist graders, not only to read, but to memorize poems;
..."Sarah Sylvia Cynthia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out"...
is, indeed, poetry of sorts, but they could also explain to their classmates
the mechanics of simple rhyme, poetic meter, and aliteration,
after reciting assignments to their classmates
and said classmates were intelligent ... sufficiently educated ... to then ask good, applicable questions.

That you, apparently, think that poetry is only something that rhymes ... is revealing.
So then, am I going get banned, because you didn't attend my first grade classes,
simply because, apparently, you cant ask good, applicable questions?

Poems most certainly don't always have to rhyme
Because honestly, nobody has that kind of...schedule
But I think that between a Bible teaching and a poem
The differences, and many there are, we know 'em.

Robin we are trying to help you here
Don't get Riley and have no fear
Go to the top of the page where it says Chat Rooms and Forums
Search down a bit you will see Bible Discussion Forum
Copy and paste your Testing thread there
Your posting on Titus will better there fare.....

Poetry:

I so tired
I so weary
Who dat wake me
And call me "Dearie"

And take me from my warm, warm spot
And put me on dat cold, cold pot
And tell me I can, when I cannot.

I fruew...........

So tell me, Jesus lives ... where's the difficulty?
Does everything have to be chewed to pap, and packaged in small pretty packages ...
Does something, always, have to fit, your preconceived reality?

I'm posting here, because ...I happen to think, that scripture comes to us in a poetic, structural format ...
that God speaks to us on any number of different levels ...
I've been on the "debate" forum ... and I dont want or need to talk about UFO's and end of the world speculations,
I simply wanted to talk about ... share ... my great appreciation for the wonders of scriptures, those things
that hardly ever get mentioned in debate environments.

That you would turn your nose up at this, simply because it aint wha yu us to ...
Ummm ... did you even take a close look at what I'd offered?

If only dinner cooked itself, And groceries grew upon the shelf; If children did as they were told, And never had a cough or cold; And washed their hands, and wiped their boots, And never tore their Sunday suits, But always tidied up the floor, Nor once forgot to shut the door.

M'thinks thou doth spread it thick.

You goofed, and didn't post in the right place. That's nothing to be ashamed to admit, and to start trying woof your way out of it.

You're speaking in riddles.. With multiple posts at a time. Kinda hard to know what you're trying to say. Fittingly enough, you posted it in the poetry forum. Poetry... Riddles... Kinda close?

Alright, got it now ... ol's Smokey

When my prayers were poorly said,
Who tucked me in my widdle bed,
And spanked my butt til it was red.
Me Mudder!
Who took me from my warm warm spot,
And put me on that cold cold pot,
And made me p*e if I could or not.
Me Mudder!

No, it was on purpose ... and it's been some time since I've last been ashamed.

Now THAT is gettin' right down with us commoners. I'm proud o' ya.

You wrote us a novel. No disrespect sir,
but maybe next time you could stick to an excerpt?
You taught the first grade, with short spans of attention
Adults aren't much different. Just thought I'd mention.

No hard feelings, we don't want you upset.
We're just helping out; put your anger to rest.
No upturned noses here, no close-mindedness, no rejection
Just a tip to move your post, said with love and affection.

(Robin)
... nothing, not even a whiff of interest?

There is no such thing as a "fist grader"..

Now you know why kids spell as they do.

In a way we have acted out the book of Titus in our dialog......If you look at your section titles....Salutation - Lady Blue Greeting you to the Poetry Forum, then you had to deal with a few Contentious Cretans, when we were trying to be a Pattern of Good Works helping you find what we thought was the right forum not understanding you were in the Forum you wanted to be in.

Then The Grace of God was Emerged in that we were trying to be nice an helpful getting the book of Titus to the Bible Discussion Forum not understanding again you wanted to be here right where you are in Poetry.

Then came theSpeak, Rebuke, Exhort, and Remind us that you were where you wanted to be while we were trying to help you with The Kindness of God was Emerged but in reality being where you wanted to be you didn't need or want our help or kindness.

You then wanted to Exhort to Good Works for us to participate or have interest in your thread.

I don't blame you for (our) Their Discipline. Contentious Cretans - Condemned because we didn't really understand you wanted to be in this forum and now that I do understand you are happy were you are I give you the Benediction that I understand you want to be here...

So in a very round about way our dialog with extremely simple attempts at poetry enacted the points of Titus you were trying to get across..... I think even Blond gets it.

In hopes that you are in an o.k. place too..... Not everything has to be wrapped in a pretty package for me and this has been a fun learning experience I hope for you as well.
