The barn owl and the tawny owl - they're the main two.

Did you conjure this while skateboarding?

ecargo on "Why would I need to get in touch with you?" by Limness 19 Nov 2002, 7:02 AM

Wow. And ouch. This is terrific. I love its spareness and immediacy; also, the internal rhyming and the double meaning of "mean." Agree with you re: doubling "it's nothing"--a person, reacting, would surely have said it twice, dazed. Was this originally "the weight of your words"? I think I'd prefer the "your"--"those" seems too removed. Have a 10 for your pains.

i remebered to vote. were you listening to the Pixies when you wrote this shit? chien andalou?

poetandknowit on Litany of the Mullet by Shin-Bojangles 19 Nov 2002, 7:46 AM

If you're going to flood the site with this crap, then please do not call it haiku. Maybe free verse, or how about "a random thought I woke up with this morning." Nentman, add that one to the list.

Christof on missing you by Goose 19 Nov 2002, 8:03 AM

The bit about the dirty joke is good, but I don't think you need the last two lines. It would be better left to just tail off, like your relationship.

Christof on Litany of the Mullet by Shin-Bojangles 19 Nov 2002, 8:06 AM

I don't know if it's really lives up to the sacred heights of the haiku, but it is an insight into the mullet-wearer's psyche and invaluable for that reason.

Enjoyable, but without wanting to sound vacuous, what the f*** has this gotta do with M.B

Christof on some deleted poem 19 Nov 2002, 8:23 AM

Does it all have to be in capitals? I feel like I'm being shouted at. Quite like the poem though.

Caducus on Sisters in Disquise by confuzdlilgirl 19 Nov 2002, 8:24 AM

pretty good CLG, but check paragraphs 2/4 for errors as it kills the vibe your trying to emanate

Christof on The Wooden Armchair Of Similar Dreams by Caducus 19 Nov 2002, 8:29 AM

The last three lines carry a great burden very gracefully. I wonder a bit at the variation in rhyme scheme between end end of s 1 and the of s2, but that's just the pernickety formalist in me trying to get out. The main thing is you got a sensitive comment from Bachus - that is all the praise you will ever need. Well done.

Fantastic - 10! Cleverdevice strikes again!!! :)

Yardbird on School. by cleverdevice 19 Nov 2002, 5:51 AM

Bravo, tovarisch! Another well-aimed blow at the soft underbelly of the education system!

UnityMitford on Haiku Gymraeg by Nicholas Jones 19 Nov 2002, 6:38 AM

what the fuck is this shit? is someone taking a class in gaelic (is that what this is?) and writing poems from the dictionary? is poetry supposed to convey something to the reader? know why i'm asking?

<~> on Haiku Gymraeg by Nicholas Jones 19 Nov 2002, 6:40 AM

translation please?

UnityMitford on yellow verse by daniella 19 Nov 2002, 6:51 AM

Caducus on missing you by Goose 19 Nov 2002, 8:15 AM

Caducus on Summer Repose by jdsnyd 19 Nov 2002, 8:17 AM

Nicely Constructed, philosophical, liked the line 'too content in the moment'
