Written word,
Scribbled down
Often absurd,
Fears the frown
Answers received,
Sometimes dismissed
Often assisting,
Key-clenching fist
Absence of lightness,
Upon our dreams
We lose rightness,
In torrential streams.
A little something I wrote for the absent Hillwalker. May he soon return!

He will hate the rhyme but any ode to Hill you can count me in. wouldnt be litnet without him, to me.
For those who believe,
no explanation is necessary.
For those who do not,
none will suffice.
He had to go. He was obstructing the revolution. Maybe one day we'll untie him. But until then buhbeepbop-duh-diddly-mao-hoh-zoo communism, long live the beep-doop.

True, Hill was part of the Anciene Regime, but that beepidy-boop crap has become so bourgeois lately. Behold the NEW LITERARY REVOLUTION!Originally Posted by Jack of Hearts

Hope he's back soon. Miss his 'upstanding' reviews.
I love how your signature is underneath everything you say.
(I kid)
It's a decent poem, and I most certainly like what it says. I hope he sees it and does the right thing (for us).

Scottish shores has a sage called Hill
he's so on the mark it gives me chills
generously he finds time to critique
but now he's sick with Litnet fatique
thanks to poo poo sukaddydoo
and nonsense verses worthy of a boo
lame azz rhymes he loves them not
and mine so vile like I just smoked pot
he will have no choice but comes right back
to tell me talents I seriously lack
and that's exactly what we want
or else his absence will forever Haunt
"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.
Where has he gone?
Bravely he fought the good fight
Proclaiming that rhyming's not right:
Would that bippity-bop
With its doo-doo, please, stop!
But that nonsense would not see the light.

I always found Hillwalker's comments to be helpful, fair, thoughtful and constructive. I really hope he feels he can return at some point soon.
"I should only believe in a God that would know how to dance. And when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn: he was the spirit of gravity- through him all things fall. Not by wrath, but by laughter, do we slay. Come, let us slay the spirit of gravity!" - Nietzsche
Is he OK? I hope he is... He really enhanced my confidence to deal with English literature in a better way, so as not to be lost in the confusion of literary theories. I think he deserves a heroic epic.
Seriously, is he OK?
I'd like to thank everyone who has offered their support in raising words to bring Hillwalker back! It's very encouraging to see that he has helped so many, and that my own opinion is shared. And nice to see some creativity too. Hillwalker would have liked that.
For those who are wondering where he went, or if he's okay... Well, in an attempt to be diplomatic about the affair, I believe he allegedly left the forums due to incredible stress. There were some words thrown around, and a rather escalating drama around his constructive critique methods.
Regardless of the reason, it seems as if he needs a break, although he may not return at all. I, for one, feel that his absence on Litnet is a very serious one, and that he has contributed much to this community. And, I hope he is okay.

Aye, Hill kens we like him, but he doesnay like the Wolf wee radge bletherin on, the bam pot!, ye ken?!
Very aptly put, smerdyakov.
