yes

Because?

Some good ones, and some dooky.

Nice clean language (I don't mean that in the no swear words sense!). The last four couplets are very strong, the "with wind and shadow, born in league" in particular - the first could use a tweak though; loose the "the" at least, and/or consider another way to *show* me the grass feels like cold fingers. This change may involve the second stanza too - no worries, you can make it work.

Almost biblical but hardly poetic

it does have a bigger than life feel - and I'm gonna disagree with the dear with headlights; it is quite poetic (what isn't? Sounds like attitude to me). I don't really get the bit about taking an adequate wife though - unconvincing our vague, somehow.

I just did in an excercise in my programming class where I had the students write a program that by simulating a vampire needing to feed everynight, and thereby converting another human into vampire - how long would it take to convert all the humans into vampires. Turns out it takes just about a month to convert 6 billion people. one of the "proofs" that vampires don't exist - but it makes a few arbitrary (and silly) assumptions. as for the poem here - I feel like I need to munch on it more, but I do so hesitantly because there isn't much room for interpretation (not quite getting it). I do like some of the bits in it: "neck knives red drops stained scarf" is cool.

Very gentle, well put together. But 'fealty' and 'entrails' and 'bedlam' in such a gently voiced poem?

I like it except the last line doesn't seem to go real well. . .but lets see some more!

Are you people afraid of AIDS?

Maybe all this garbage is our own fault

Yes, teasing the meat satisfies.

this is sweet.

nope...not afraid of catching the aids, just the egocentric-homoism......hybristophilia, much more attractive!

so sweet - and so sad. I wonder about the "unique body" . . . I'd typically crit for the simple descriptors (doesn't show much, tells alot) - but they fit with the simple emotional theme, so; fine. This would easily make a very nice ghazal.

like a love poem, only yes and only no.

is the title ironic, or are you a cynic?

Owie! but good. imagery. mm.

Fascinating. As a vegetarian, i can't quite relate, but you certainly sexualize it...well.

i think it means god.
