Very clever. Very thought-provoking.
It makes a change from the usual crude sexual innuendo found on this site.
What the fuck? Ali G has had his day I'm afraid. 3.
another one of your fab 2 way haiku
Too true, buddy, too true. 9. Page 3 ain't porn - it's just a great way to kill a few minutes.
Heh and who gets more money per capita from Westminster AND Brussels - the English or the Welsh? Come on, you are above this petty nationalism. You are a good writer with some sensible targets. Hating the English is so parochial.
Fucking hell. I've experienced a lot of poems on this site. This is one of the best. A rare 10 from me.
Is this a poem for Jesus? Very Biblical all this business of "chariot of light".
ok then, how about this: thanks foor fucking up my only form of escapism! or, hows about we all ship over to iraq and put ourselves in the line of fire for a "good cause" instead of writing poetry that accomplishes NOTHING!!

Some misspellings here and a few creaky rhymes. But it has a faux naif appeal. (sorry to sound pretentious). The PS works well and has the ring (and sting) of truth.
Doesn't have the quality of some of your other poems. Metre is erratic. The rhymes could be improved. This is a draft to work on. Come on. You can do it.
Rap is as valid a format as a sonnet but it has to make sense. What Cat stole my reality? What do you mean by "not distressing your (my?) reality? A generation have fallen in love with the SOUND of words. They get off on alliteration and rhyme but many are guilty of failing to combine it with coherernce and meaning. Go on Victoria, rise up from rap lyrics, write poetry! You have a feeling for it. Go for it!
Woah this poem is the chiznit bitch, i am actually a white guy called Colin and I too worship Noel Edwards. Noel Edwards is a sex god
I love this. Sole flaw is the plural on speak (s). Could you re-work the line? Something like "Retreating when my neighbor cares to speak"
Quite lovely. I forgive you all the inexact rhymes
Wonderful light verse
I'd say you were rightfully movedd.
The South Park School of Poetry. Quite enchanting
Very funny.
A lovely touch (again)
