Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

            Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
            Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
            While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
            As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
            "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
            Only this, and nothing more."

            Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
            And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
            Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
            From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
            For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
            Nameless here for evermore.

            And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
            Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
            So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
            "'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
            Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
            This it is, and nothing more."

            Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
            "Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
            But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
            And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
            That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-
            Darkness there, and nothing more.

            Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering,
            fearing,
            Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
            But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
            And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
            This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
            Merely this, and nothing more.

            Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
            Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
            "Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:
            Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
            Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-
            'Tis the wind and nothing more."

            Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and
            flutter,
            In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
            Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed
            he;
            But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
            Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
            Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

            Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
            By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
            "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no
            craven,
            Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore-
            Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
            Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

            Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
            Though its answer little meaning- little relevancy bore;
            For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
            Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door-
            Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
            With such name as "Nevermore."

            But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
            That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
            Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered-
            Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have flown
            before-
            On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
            Then the bird said, "Nevermore."

            Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
            "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
            Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
            Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore-
            Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
            Of 'Never- nevermore'."

            But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
            Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and
            door;
            Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
            Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
            What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
            Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

            This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
            To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
            This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
            On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
            But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
            She shall press, ah, nevermore!

            Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
            Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
            "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he
            hath sent thee
            Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore!
            Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
            Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

            "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or
            devil!-
            Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
            Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
            On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
            Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!"
            Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

            "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or
            devil!
            By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore-
            Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
            It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
            Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
            Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

            "Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked,
            upstarting-
            "Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
            Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
            Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
            Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my
            door!"
            Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."

            And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
            On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
            And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
            And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the
            floor;
            And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
            Shall be lifted- nevermore!

                To see a World in a Grain of Sand
                And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
                Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
                And Eternity in an hour.

                A Robin Red breast in a Cage
                Puts all Heaven in a Rage.
                A dove house fill'd with doves & Pigeons
                Shudders Hell thro' all its regions.
                A dog starv'd at his Master's Gate
                Predicts the ruin of the State.
                A Horse misus'd upon the Road
                Calls to Heaven for Human blood.
                Each outcry of the hunted Hare
                A fibre from the Brain does tear.
                A Skylark wounded in the wing,
                A Cherubim does cease to sing.
                The Game xxxx clipp'd and arm'd for fight
                Does the Rising Sun affright.
                Every Wolf's & Lion's howl
                Raises from Hell a Human Soul.
                The wild deer, wand'ring here & there,
                Keeps the Human Soul from Care.
                The Lamb misus'd breeds public strife
                And yet forgives the Butcher's Knife.
                The Bat that flits at close of Eve
                Has left the Brain that won't believe.
                The Owl that calls upon the Night
                Speaks the Unbeliever's fright.
                He who shall hurt the little Wren
                Shall never be belov'd by Men.
                He who the Ox to wrath has mov'd
                Shall never be by Woman lov'd.
                The wanton Boy that kills the Fly
                Shall feel the Spider's enmity.
                He who torments the Chafer's sprite
                Weaves a Bower in endless Night.
                The Catterpillar on the Leaf
                Repeats to thee thy Mother's grief.
                Kill not the Moth nor Butterfly,
                For the Last Judgement draweth nigh.
                He who shall train the Horse to War
                Shall never pass the Polar Bar.
                The Beggar's Dog & Widow's Cat,
                Feed them & thou wilt grow fat.
                The Gnat that sings his Summer's song
                Poison gets from Slander's tongue.
                The poison of the Snake & Newt
                Is the sweat of Envy's Foot.
                The poison of the Honey Bee
                Is the Artist's Jealousy.
                The Prince's Robes & Beggars' Rags
                Are Toadstools on the Miser's Bags.
                A truth that's told with bad intent
                Beats all the Lies you can invent.
                It is right it should be so;
                Man was made for Joy & Woe;
                And when this we rightly know
                Thro' the World we safely go.
                Joy & Woe are woven fine,
                A Clothing for the Soul divine;
                Under every grief & pine
                Runs a joy with silken twine.
                The Babe is more than swadling Bands;
                Throughout all these Human Lands
                Tools were made, & born were hands,
                Every Farmer Understands.
                Every Tear from Every Eye
                Becomes a Babe in Eternity.
                This is caught by Females bright
                And return'd to its own delight.
                The Bleat, the Bark, Bellow & Roar
                Are Waves that Beat on Heaven's Shore.
                The Babe that weeps the Rod beneath
                Writes Revenge in realms of death.
                The Beggar's Rags, fluttering in Air,
                Does to Rags the Heavens tear.
                The Soldier arm'd with Sword & Gun,
                Palsied strikes the Summer's Sun.
                The poor Man's Farthing is worth more
                Than all the Gold on Afric's Shore.
                One Mite wrung from the Labrer's hands
                Shall buy & sell the Miser's lands:
                Or, if protected from on high,
                Does that whole Nation sell & buy.
                He who mocks the Infant's Faith
                Shall be mock'd in Age & Death.
                He who shall teach the Child to Doubt
                The rotting Grave shall ne'er get out.
                He who respects the Infant's faith
                Triumph's over Hell & Death.
                The Child's Toys & the Old Man's Reasons
                Are the Fruits of the Two seasons.
                The Questioner, who sits so sly,
                Shall never know how to Reply.
                He who replies to words of Doubt
                Doth put the Light of Knowledge out.
                The Strongest Poison ever known
                Came from Caesar's Laurel Crown.
                Nought can deform the Human Race
                Like the Armour's iron brace.
                When Gold & Gems adorn the Plow
                To peaceful Arts shall Envy Bow.
                A Riddle or the Cricket's Cry
                Is to Doubt a fit Reply.
                The Emmet's Inch & Eagle's Mile
                Make Lame Philosophy to smile.
                He who Doubts from what he sees
                Will ne'er believe, do what you Please.
                If the Sun & Moon should doubt
                They'd immediately Go out.
                To be in a Passion you Good may do,
                But no Good if a Passion is in you.
                The xxxxx & Gambler, by the State
                Licenc'd, build that Nation's Fate.
                The Harlot's cry from Street to Street
                Shall weave Old England's winding Sheet.
                The Winner's Shout, the Loser's Curse,
                Dance before dead England's Hearse.
                Every Night & every Morn
                Some to Misery are Born.
                Every Morn & every Night
                Some are Born to sweet Delight.
                Some ar Born to sweet Delight,
                Some are born to Endless Night.
                We are led to Believe a Lie
                When we see not Thro' the Eye
                Which was Born in a Night to Perish in a Night
                When the Soul Slept in Beams of Light.
                God Appears & God is Light
                To those poor Souls who dwell in the Night,
                But does a Human Form Display
                To those who Dwell in Realms of day.

                  dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
                  And that I was a maiden Queen
                  Guarded by an Angel mild:
                  Witless woe was ne'er beguiled!

                  And I wept both night and day,
                  And he wiped my tears away;
                  And I wept both day and night,
                  And hid from him my heart's delight.

                  So he took his wings, and fled;
                  Then the morn blushed rosy red.
                  I dried my tears, and armed my fears
                  With ten-thousand shields and spears.

                  Soon my Angel came again;
                  I was armed, he came in vain;
                  For the time of youth was fled,
                  And grey hairs were on my head.

                    My most favorite of all

                    also by william blake.


                    I laid me down upon a bank,
                    Where Love lay sleeping;
                    I heard among the rushes dank
                    Weeping, weeping.

                    Then I went to the heath and the wild,
                    To the thistles and thorns of the waste;
                    And they told me how they were beguiled,
                    Driven out, and compelled to the chaste.

                    I went to the Garden of Love,
                    And saw what I never had seen;
                    A Chapel was built in the midst,
                    Where I used to play on the green.

                    And the gates of this Chapel were shut
                    And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
                    So I turned to the Garden of Love
                    That so many sweet flowers bore.

                    And I saw it was filled with graves,
                    And tombstones where flowers should be;
                    And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
                    And binding with briars my joys and desires.

                      wave theory

                      no, not the one at the beach

                      who wants to discuss relativity when
                      the sun is shining on the pond and
                      the weeping willow provides ample shade

                      sometimes i want to say
                      i'm just a girl and
                      frankly
                      I don't care



                      write me one that rhymes

                      I want to write you a poem,
                      write you one that rhymes.
                      I want it to have a beat and
                      I want it to be neat.
                      I kind of
                      suck at that.
                      Sorry
                      The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. -- F. Scott Fitzgerald
