I've been lurking around the forum for a while, (finally decided to join) and I know this thread is kind of old, but I've been looking through TJ's skeletons link and I have to say... I loved loved loved "A Tie and a Dress" as well. Loved it. LOVED IT. Is there something more than loved? That's how much I loved it. ...sorry, is this "loved it" overkill?

Speaking of the skeletons... we haven't gotten a new one in a while. Are we all out of the stockpiled ones for the time being?

Oh right so it might not excite us? <<shakes head>> Sharon, you are simply a tease, y'know?
Silverwings, multitudinous warm welcomes. Please do post everywhere, the more the merrier. And, as Sharon says - it's good to have the occasional thread unearthed to review. Heaven knows we have hundreds of good ones, and I can't believe how loyally newbies read them all! Many thanks for that - and keep it up, hope to see you in Welcome too.

Thanks for coming out of lurking, silverwings! Welcome! 
And no, I don't think it's too much to say you loved that particular piece. "Tie and a Dress" is very effective to me. Ever since I read it, the piece has stuck with me. I think that's the sign of a successfully and creatively well-written story/poem/written work.
It's truly fantastic.

You're definitely not alone in the LOVE of this, silverwings. I don't think I've commented on this work yet because I couldn't think of a worthy enough response to it, it's just too good. I can relate to this one too, especially this part: But to her,
To her,
To her,
It didn’t.
And tie really wanted to weep,
Cause he knew,
He knew,
He knew,
That even through all the many months of love,
And the many months of hate,
That those two feelings were made of the same flesh,
And that now, he loved, and hated so much.
But that she,
She,
She,
Felt the true opposite of love for him,
Indifference.Worst feeling ever  _________________ That's that thing that I do. Nobody else does that thing. It's MY thing that I do...It's not a well known thing. It's, you know, my thing that I do.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! I have introduced myself- in a rambling, awkward way- through the welcome thread. And...I don't know, but TJ's writing is just really...himself. He shines through. I don't know if that even makes sense, but...*shrugs* I think Sharon said it well, "uniquely TJ".

He writes, too? Geez, have they made any more TJ's that I could possibly get on E-bay? Totally worth a month's salary at Wendy's! (only because that's all i have to offer). 
Hmmm...the poems should be in the skeletons section if I've been following the thread correctly, right? Have any suggestions as to which one I should start with?

Sir Rose--Head towards the bottom of the Skeletons page. I highly recommend "Tie and a Dress" and "Grace Kelly, My Kind of Nurse".
Yes, they need to make some more TJ's or even Hodgins--that "I'm Your Guy" moment with Angela really sent me over the edge.

*nods along*
Okay, so I just checked out "Tie and a Dress".
I loved the sparse verse, and the stream of conciousness feel of the peice. It was absolutely poetry, but felt and read more easily, like poetry written for actual people, rather than literature students. THANK YOU, TJ!
As for your second point, the world needs some more TJ's and Hodgins'. God knows we could do with a few less politicians!

But we match
Without planning it
Thought tie,
shouldn’t that mean something? Anything?I like this bit. I don't know why. YES! More TJ's and Hodgins'!

If they ever do start mass-producing Hodginses or TJs, I'm first in line to pick one up.

Might have something soon, that is the MIGHT part, not the exciting part, it'll get people excited I'm sure of that! I just don't know WHEN yet. Still waiting for the very busy TJ to get back to me. 
And yes, I do tease but gotta stir up that anticipation!
