Self! What a great translation! But did you consider this? It is both more concise, though some of the accuracy may have eroded in favor of space.
Self, I will be back when I have had more time to put it through Google! Can't wait to see your next write! I thought 'Listen Up, Bitchez' took away from the beauty of the piece, and truncated it to just "Listen". I hope you don't mind self, you know I'm a fan of your work.

Rabbit, listen my word and mark it,
they affect you too. Satan

Do not be deceived that I troll,

OMGBOX self, your kind words always touch and inspire me. Self, that's just brilliant! I accidentally copied and pasted "listen" from the translator and thought it was a great addition. I will try leaving it out for now, after considering your words. Oh, self, where do you get these ideas? What do you think about this:

How, strong winds
Understanding of many minds
doubtfog? It consists of flutter
Like the trolls on the site. With
Stupid ideas have in the morning
The first two of coffee.

Business Sales devil! From to

Rabbit, rabbit! Listen to me,
They affect you. Satan

Cabbage. Beware! Beware!
His hair floating mindfog
Neon.

Troll will not lie to me,
Trolls do not have this smart. Parking flutter
Very intelligent animals, understanding
Mountain cloud the truth of all
High to infinity. Goddess
Through the head, in the humming
Palace. Thousands of filling
Gardens and bees laugh.
Think about that.

Just a thought to use or lose. Self, you always know best.

Dear You,

Since no one seems to wants to help you, you will have to help yourself. Keep posting to yourself, and the way will come clear. No one ever said this google-poeting would be easy! Hang in there, and never, never give up.

Sincerely, &
With Warmest Affections,

I am not sure what it is you think I have done. Is talking to oneself a crime? Yes, I admit, its a little eccentric--but since an early age, its been a habit of mine. Once when I was a boy, i was--oh, ten or so--I was walking out to my mailbox, to check the mail. A bird was hopping around the sidewalk--and without thinking I said "Hello, Bird!". To my chagrin, my neighbor, who had never been my No. 1 fan, was at his own mailbox, and he stopped to look at me...and shook his head gravely. "Faggot" he muttered, under his breath. I've never been quite so embarrassed in my life. I ran back inside, almost in tears. Since then I do not greet birds, or otherwise attempt to engage them in conversation. Not even when I am in the best of moods. Thus, I leave my conversations with me to me at the safe distance of strangers. This is a poem about me making fun of me, among other things. If you can't laugh at yourself, well, someone else will. I have learned this the hard way. If the text of the poem seems absurd, take heart, it based on a true story. Just not the story about the bird.

Why mamta? It seems to me that he is doing almost exactly was she is doing, but at least acknowledges the ridiculousness of it. It seems evident that our dear Chinese friend is unaware of what his words are coming out to mean. As a result how really can he give clear consent or actually think that his poems are being represented in a reasonable way? Do you think that they are being represented in a reasonable way? If you were a non-English speaking/reading person would you think that your poetry was being man handled by Google translate? These are real questions that I am asking. And I would really like some real answers from the staff.

Tiger is having a bit of fun with himself, in my opinion. And before you make Butter into a victim it would be best to point out that it is she that first ran to the finished section to post "Sucks. I hate it!" and rate me a 1 on a poem. I didn't do that to her. In fact, my only issue is in how she is treating this man's poetry through the use of Google. Well, what is fair for her seems to be what is fair for Tiger.

This may seem distasteful to you and others, but what she is doing seems distasteful to me and others. I am sure that there is a way of resolving this, but I don't see anyone suggesting a way to do that.

I have no access to Audie's account, and have never done any such thing.

No, it wasn't. But I feel sorry to see the way she made a fool out of both you and Izmeiah [ hope i spelt it right]. I have nothing else to say. Keep up the good work. But don't hurt your fellow poets.

I would never intentially hurt a fellow poet. As for Izmeiah, it is unlikely that he will be living much longer. He is suffering from Crest's Syndrome,
as well as a form of acute diabetic neuropathy that has proceeded to a point that is irreversible. This might not seem relevant to the discussion, but a person in agony may find anything, anything at all that distracts him a boon, and a person who loves him may find anything, anything that lightens his day the lesser of two evils. If anyone is to make a fool of either of us, it will be the other, and never with malice. Mischief is another matter, and also, not the same thing.

Edit: related remark added:
Nothing has been done to gail, that I am aware of, other than an expressed (and very honest) disapproval of her blatantly relentless use of a machine to translate a language she doesn't comprehend, and pass it off as meaningful, representative, or even art. With the approval of a person who, if he is not a troll, is unable to possibly evaluate what she has done. I believe she has the right to keep doing it and I believe I have the right to express myself as well. If you fail to understand why this is offensive, maybe you should re-examine why you write or read poetry. I am sorry, I should applaud such efforts. And why are my own efforts not as worthwhile? This post was not directed at anyone in particular, and was me amusing me, and if it amuses someone else, all the better. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I was not talking about your living, but rather Izmeiah's. I know how much longer I have with him, perhaps until christmas, barring some bizarre miracle. Also, do not take offense, but I do not love you (nor you me), and therefore, your living means much less to me than Izmeiah's. It does not mean nothing, though, and I wish you well, and bountiful health, and as much goodwill as one person who does not know another can possibly summon. For all anyone knows, even you, perhaps I won't be much longer living either. It is only relevant to those that love us.

I think our discussion about bullying was already covered amply. I believe that something else is troubling you, and I can't help that you are angry about an undetermined cause. If what you are doing (please see above) is not you venting some personal frustration, I am not sure what else you would call it. Again, I don't mind. Please. It is not healthy to keep things pent up inside. You misunderstand if you believe our self-expression was done to arouse a sick friend. That it did engage him is not something I will lose sleep over, though.

Well, I'm really glad we had this discussion. I feel closer to you, but, a little worried. Now I am worried about your health, and before I was not. I hope that you are ok. If you need someone to talk to, try to talking to yourself. Really! It helps. I know how silly that sounds. Or even to someone like me, who is perhaps not the monster you have imagined him to be.

My, my, such hostility. Mamta I would expect that you, being the you that you are an not some other you. Would be enthused to have someone defending the integrity of your poets, and their work. It seems to me that we're unable to become vocal about the things that are upsetting to us. Must we swallow bile? I'm afraid I do not understand. I would like to know what you think you know of Audie, dear Mamta, she doesn't write about moon's. As far as I can tell she's one of the only decent poets on this site. So what if Christopher writes to himself, from himself? It seems to me the real issue is the spider in the room. Constantly in fear of a bite by a real venom the poets stand on chairs and scream.

Well, Paul, I might ask you if you don't have anything better to do than to defend a woman who masquerades google as high art, cowering behind others while throwing tantrums and stones. Butterfly writes messages to herself on a fairly regular basis (reference, for example Alone in the Beautiful Round Room) ; I assumed you connected the dots? I assumed everyone did. 'Course you did, Blanche. Good. Let's not bring up the mutual orgy of ass-kissing that goes on in your own little circle ('Your People'; Who are you anyway, Moses? Sorry, I'm more interested in poetry than a Friendship Club. The NERVE of me.), coz that doesn't concern me. It's human nature to assemble into small groups and tell each other that you're the best--no, no--you're the best! OH NO SIR, YOU'RE THE BEST! I COULD FEEL THE EMOTION IN THE WRITE, JUST.... FLOWING. OH NO! YOURs WAS MORE PROFOUND! OH YES! By the way, I'm fairly certain you're pretty interested in what I have to say, else you wouldn't have taken time from your busy gratzing schedule to scribble your crayon anger at me. Just sayin!

May I offer you a small piece of advice? Get a grip. Also, if it makes you feel better, ball up your little hands into fists. Turn red, scream. Pound things. Tell yourself that you are really, really a good poet. Gosh-darnit! It doesn't matter to me. Call me an asshole, if you like. Make it your signature if you prefer: "electric tiger is a mean asshole and i hate him! Down with tiger! Let him eat 1's!" It would amuse me. Draw lurid little pictures in my likeness and pee on them, then burn them, perhaps. Write mocking poems. Do what you need to do to make you feel that your little world is safe and ok, and that you are important in its larger figurings.

Nothing, for instance in this particular post, that I can think of, should have incited such a frenzy in a normal person. You go on thinking whatever you want, and I'll go on not being very interested. Sound like a plan? YUS! I like it too.

P.S. You give me no credit--you have no idea how hard I've worked on these translations myself--all that googling will tire a pour lil tiger's finger right out. Ironically, it appears my google-poems have been much more effective at stiring up emotion than hers. Craziness!

And Mayo--my god, these people should realize my cat and I have been walking dark paths far from the shadow of jesus and all that is wholesome since we tore out way out of our mother's wombs. If you are the devil, then I choose the devil. At least she's intelligent.

Mamta, just so you know, Audie or Mayo - whomever she is. Had similar writing styles and similar dismissals. While I didn't know they were the same person I assure you to find out that Mayo is Audie makes me only want to rally behind her all the more. Also - as Mayo I would say things to her that I never would have said to Audie. It isn't often that I am confused or have the wool pulled over my eyes, but I'm glad that it was done by someone that I consider a peer or a teacher, and not some drivel from a poet slam.

Edit: As Audie Cat and I stood in awe of her splendor, counting her as pure talent. We idolized her and ran over her poetry eagerly, fervently. Now that she casts away her cloak of death, she rises from the grave in true form. Oh how we quiver in antici------pation.

tiger - nothing much to say here.

izmeiah - there is no hostility. dont take out your anger by rating a person low or logging in with another account and rating low when that person has blocked you. that is not fair.

mayo - dont judge me by your standards. yes, it's unfair to log in as audie and rate the poets here low when they have blocked you as mayo and i still stand by that.

I only have one account her. I rate low because the poems I rate suck. Show me a good poem, I'll rate it a 5, show me an outstanding poem and I'll rate it a 10. I am not being unfair. Also I am not angry, I am quite level headed. I have not been rude to you - ever. I have been rude only to those who were rude to me first. I am generally pretty easy to get along with. Also - I'm quite funny. Most people don't know this about me though.

@Paul - Omegapaf or whatever,

Do you honestly think that I would deign to care about your opinions/beliefs/codas/nouns? We are all adults here; you can call me an asshole like a big boy. You, unfortunately miss the point. As usual. I suspect some where in this great land of ours there is a warehouse, or possibly 2 or 3 and nestled inside them, sleeping like babies, are all the things in this world you do not understand.

In plain terms, butt out. You're a drone to a Queen bee - there's another bee reference for you. You hide behind the murmurings of a wounded dove, and in defense you strike out to the tune of pheromones, and instinct.

At least when I strike out it's against something that I truly feel is awful. Or to be ridiculed, or just plain shitty - if you want to go lowbrow. (and I might) The fact of the matter is you and the rest of your buddy list all fall into category 2, and if you've been paying attention to the threads, then you know what category I mean. (good job!)

Edit: HMMMMmmmmmmmm Very Happy

Look cats! I found this wonderful product on Google shopping, it's only 19.95, I think if we all chip in it'll be worth it. It'll allow us to mangle someone else's work and post it as your own! Oh, to think that we could all enjoy this from the comfort of our retirement homes/lonely apartments! I for one cannot wait to receive mine, and if I act now they'll send me a rotisserie oven, and I can set my poem in and fucking forget it!

boys, keep writing poems and keep sharpening your wit. It will serve you well in life.

mamta, I will judge you by whatever standards I have at my disposal. Your vitriol towards me is palpable in the air. It makes you seem spiteful and ugly. And just so everyone gets a glimpse of your dirty underwear, you rate people low anonymously all the time. Check out her average if you don't believe me.

and boys, one thing, I admire paul his loyalty. When he befriends you, until he unfriends you, he will go to the mat for you. He has told so many people to get the hell off of GotPoetry with passion and conviction. Though, I am more of a let's talk it out kind of person, I admire his spunk greatly. What you see is what you get. I have respect for that kind of person.

And finally, although others would like to put words and feelings into my mouth, my only issue with butter is this google thing. I have stated before why. And when I said in my post that I was grateful to her for challenging me to think outside the box I was being honest. She has made me think outside the box about what i would do with Google translate. She has made me want to do installation work and for that I am thankful and will credit her in my future work as a result.

P.S. To those who are still interpreting this as full of some sort of sound or fury, I do not know what to tell you. Our laughter has forgotten its original subject, and is just laughter. We forgot the rest of you well over a page ago. This is the province of two old friends.

Q: Who?

Edit: Yes cattu, we've been sugar and sulfur for as long as I can remember. When the world collapses and there is nothing left we two will be in our witches shoes, listening to opera. Until the world rattles apart and becomes triangles and the clicking of plates. Until there is nothing but the cry of omega it will be us two, listening for prophecy in the little things, like broken tea cups, the smell of fresh laundry, the heaviness of everything, we drink tea for two.

electrictiger..we have gotten along well up to now, and I would like that to continue. But starting threads to harass and ridicule another member is wrong, and you need to knock it off. If you have a problem with Gail, offer her substantive, civil critique, or just don't read her at all.

Izmeiah..your posts are nasty and abusive. This is a poetry forum. Try to remember that.

omagapaf replied here only to defend his friend Gail. There is no need for anyone to attack him.

One other thing..I don't know if anyone realizes how much time and energy Mamta contributes to this community, and also has a busy life outside of it. She is always civil, decent, and reasonable, so give her a break.

I am going to lock this thread now. ET and Iz..please move on and concentrate on poetry. Thank you.
