I like the situation and the heart-break

Everyone must have dreams. But society frowns upon the dreamers.

Oh, a typo - 'ecomic'

What is this wut?
Nicholas Jones on In Full Stop by vulcan 4 Oct 2002, 7:29 AM
Mysterious. Not bad.

Very nice. But I'm still unconvinced about the haiku. It always seems a bit pointless.
Christof on Farewell Song by jaalko 4 Oct 2002, 7:32 AM
I think you're right, this is by far not the worst thing on poemranker.
Nicholas Jones on Farewell Song by jaalko 4 Oct 2002, 7:27 AM
I think this has been judged unfairly. If you're strict on your plagiarism thing, the Waste Land is all stolen, and that's the greatest poem ever.

in your bow? or in your quiver? otherwise very nice. but that bit threw me.

nobody cares about your post coital glow. I'm bored by sex poems. A seraph is a type of angel, and I think the implications of that are pretty unattractive in the light of the poem. Sorry, I just don't like it.

It's not your fault, but this sums up everything I don't like about haikus. It's very hard to write something worth reading that relies purely on the interplay of words out of any context.

It's 'post-self-coital' - so this is surely masturbatory? You'll go blind, you know.

This is much better than your other poems. The list form can be very effective. I like the detail of French windows - very appropriate.

Smell the cliches a mile off. It's nice, but doesn't do it for me. Sexual innuendo gets a bit dull.
Christof on Suburbia in December by Nicholas Jones 4 Oct 2002, 7:01 AM
Yes that is better - tighter.

Very good - the dilemma of the socialist faced with New Labour. What a middle-class and furtive party it is now. Which is why I always vote Liberal Democrat - as if that's any great alternative.

Long live the reads, the hammer, and cabbage soup? well the thinkers and the drinkers at least.

The proverbial embarrassment of riches. I'd start with Stockport.
Nicholas Jones on Down Home by <~> 4 Oct 2002, 7:16 AM
I'm always a sucker for poems where the form is linked to the meaning. Dylan Thomas wrote a poem called 'Vision and Prayer' where the stanzas are in diamond and hourglass shapes.
