i’ll start off:
my favorite animal is, obviously, the cat. any kind of cat, wild or tame... cats are graceful, sensual, mysterious and independent animals. to watch them move is fascinating. my house cats are often free entertainment!
my favorite season is Autumn because of all the beautiful colors and the crispness in the air. it is the first time that i fell in love, so it has become my "season of passion."
my favorite movie is Brother Sun Sister Moon. it is the story of St. Francis of Assissi, who is the patron saint of animals. it is beautifully made by Franco Zeffereli. i’ve been to Assissi, and when i watch the movie, i want to be there.
my favorite song is Jungleland by Bruce Springsteen. it is so packed with images of these people that he creates, and i just love the music. he takes me back to my days in college, and i have fond memories of those.
my favorite poem of my own is probably The Apocalyptic Cherub, because it was very challenging, and i think i did a good job with creating this little cherub who represents our being redeemed and led back to God’s embrace.
my favorite book is Rubyfruit Jungle by Rita Mae Brown. it is irreverent, sometimes heart-breaking, and funny.
my favorite color is green because it reminds me of trees and the forest.
my favorite car is a 1956 Thunderbird because it reminds me of the movie American Grafitti, when life was simpler and because it just is such a cool looking car! |

I don’t mind at all. It’s very interesting, actually. And you were right on....

| User | Apocalyptica | 2005-01-28 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | Favorite Season: Fall, because the scenery is so damn beautiful, especially in Kansas. Man I miss those days...
Favorite Movie: Fight Club. This movie was so out there and thought-provoking, I’ve never gotten sick of it. The director must’ve been a genious.
Favorite Song: "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls
Favorite Poem of My Own: Umm...Amazing Disgrace, I guess. It was the first thing I wrote when I first got into the whole poetry thing, before that I used to just write songs for bands at my school. I’m still living behind the meaning of that poem to this day, so it is a very important piece to me.
Favorite Book: Les Miserables. God, I love that book.
Favorite color: Green. I’m Irish.
Favorite Car: Those old, black GTOs, like the one from The Fast and The Furious. |

well, my favorite animal is my Shih-Tzu, but as a species, I like giraffes because they are so beautiful. Monkeys fascinate me also.

| User | realpoet | 2005-01-15 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | My favorite animal is the elephant. They have few enemies because of their size and thick skin. Their ears remind me of busted bosom implants.Their nose reminds me of some busy bodies. Their feet leave their prints in the sand,they can’t hide.
Fall(autumn) my favorite. I can raid pumpkin patches. Get late maturiong watermelons and see the trees becoming naked after their debutante ball.
My favorite song: "Whenever You Come Around" by Vince Gill
The book I’ve most enjoyed is split between The shadow Catcher and Green Mansions. The former tells about the people and their customs of the Pacific Islands. Green Mansions is the most beautiful love story I’ve ever read. Everyone I’ve talked to who has read it says they cried throughout ,so did I.
Beige is my color. It really hides what I really am.
The cheapest one I can find is my favorite car.
The Weeping Willow is my favorite tree
The buzzard is my favorite bird. It eats things to keep flies in check.
The zinnia is my favorite flower.
A castle is my favorite house. You have to have money to live in it And have seven maids in waiting
My favorite paper is green backs.
My favorite sweetheart is my wife.
I can’t tell you what my favorite past time is. |

| User | besodemuerte | 2005-01-10 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | that kinda worries me... what does an ant say about the type of partner i’m looking for...? loyalty, maybe? someone willing to go to a mindless death for me? and farm? strange... and the color thing... since i had no favorite color, does that mean that i want society to not see me at all... i’m invisible? |

| User | mae | 2005-01-10 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | My favorite animal is my black cat, Shadow (how original is that?). She’s the world’s mellowest cat and with 7 little grandkids, that’s important. She’s wonderful. And she likes me. Better than my husband (tee-hee). My favorite song is Breathe by Michael W. Smith, my favorite season is spring because it’s beautiful and it’s a long time before winter comes again (I hate winter.). I don’t have a favorite book or movie. My favorite color would have to be pink. And my favorite car is a boring Taurus because it’s so cotton-pickin’ easy to drive. (Of course, if someone wanted to give me a 1966 Mustang convertible, red with a white top, well, I wouldn’t turn it down!) My favorite poem of my own is Solitary Waltz...or maybe Journey...or maybe Compromise. Oh, phooey, I don’t know. That’s all I have to say about that. mae |
| User | besodemuerte | 2005-01-10 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | my favorite animal... well... i’m going with an insect if that’s alright... the ant... they are superior to us in so many ways.... i think they’re going to take over someday.. i’ve seen anthills bigger than i am.. it’s scary.. they work for the good of the community and are willing to die a mindless death if so needed for the colony... they milk aphids for food.. and have been known to farm.... so many interesting things are known about them... i know they arent cute and cuddly, but i gotta give them my respect...
(otherswise i’d say my dog... cause i’m attached to her..)
my favorite season is spring... i used to think autumn until recently.. but spring, everything is in bloom... the air has the scent of freedom in it... i dont have to be all bundled up and stuck inside for fear of frost bite.. but it’s not so hot i sweat like a pig... just right...
favorite movie... hmm... ’glam’ is good... ’run lola run’... that french movie ’amelie’ (i think that’s the title)... ’life is beautiful’... and ’the city of children’ (i forget how to say it in french? italian? i forget right now.. it’s late... mostly i like foreign films...
song? today it will be.... ’traveling man’ i dont know who sings it.. it’s an old blues song... my friends band covered it and i fell in love... (you can hear it at www.getdanked.com ) but tomorrow my fav song will be different.. depends on my mood...
fav poem of mine.... either ’kingdom of the lonely’ or ’my friend misery’ though both are pretty simple in style... i dont usually write about myself... but i did in both of these..
book... i got a few... maybe ’cat’s cradle’... or the ’riverworld’ series (philip jose farmer)... 1984... there are so many good books...
color... i have no favorite colr...
car... i dont really like cars... but i like my 1978 VW camper van... if only it would run again...

| User | cuddledumplin | 2005-01-09 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | My favorite animal would like be the lion or leopard. I think big cats are so beautiful. Sorry I forgot that one. |
| User | cuddledumplin | 2005-01-09 | | | Subject | untitled | | Message | My favorite season is autumn because it’s not too warm, and I like the colors.
I can’t pinpoint one favorite movie. I like Trainspotting, Run Lola Run, the original Manchurian Candidate, Wild Strawberries, Autumn Sonata, and the Seventh Seal. That changes constantly. I love movies.
My favorite song changes all of the time too. Right now it’s probably "Last Year’s Man" by Leonard Cohen, "Album of the Year" or "Inmates" by the Good Life, or "Landlocked Blues" by Bright Eyes. Actually, I can pinpoint a favorite by Leonard Cohen or Bright Eyes.
My favorite poem of mine is no easier. I would have to say "Surreal" or "Ennui Among the Seraphim."
My favorite book is the Tin Drum by Gunter Grass because it’s both absurd and profound.
My favorite color is purple. I think it’s because it’s regal, and I’ve always loved purple irises.
I really have no idea what my favorite car would be. I like a lot of them. I like those old Volkswagon coupes (not Beetles, I have no idea what they were called). I like Mg Midgets and Fiat Spiders. I like the new Audi convertables. I like a lot of old American cars too. Thunderbirds are great (except the 70’s ones because they were too boxy and big). I like the Studebaker Avanti. Now, that’s obscure. |
