I love Katie. 10.

ummm what!? and why?

OK nice and varied use of language, but difficult to get a grasp on, I am not really drawn in

The best thing here is the line 'I have no time to lend or borrow' - reminds me of a folk song or something - but the idea of time as a commodity is surprisingly deep here.

Quit this Tony Blair thing, it only works once.

'Smuggerly'- very good

Check out my new poem -- it's great! http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=50431 Yours, Doug

Ok, lucid enough but I'm not sure about the first line repetition. Perhaps try a vilanelle?

yes nice feel and structure Perhaps not ambitious enough though

simple sentiments, but I read some of your cliches and wonder if you really mean them dying inside is a bit hyperbolous

yes this is good takes the reader along with the images well

Geezer ala mode.

lots of imagery If i have one criticism it is the careless use of words such as demonic. I need luring in a bit more

I love it! Okay, i might be a little biased just because of my little rose 'problem.' I think the rose can be used in so many ways to convey emotions like the rejuvination in your poem. I also like the simple rhyme scheme. It's beautiful!

i wont vote for tihs becuase i dont want it to be immortalized in the worst poems (poem.. yeah right) area. why dont you let everyone else get back to recharging their creative 'batteries' and post when you have something worth expressing.

professor soderstrom, what makes you a friend to all? many here have not treated you as one. in fact, they have treated you as an enemy. so, why?

you scared zzinia away you naughty boy.

How very self-referential and ultimately tedious.

weak.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAASEX
