Everyone needs Lovecraft.Poe too. Lovecraft can be an acquired taste."The Dunwich Horror", "Shadows over Innsmouth" "Dreams in the Witch-House" and "Dagon" are good storiesto start with."Call of Cthulhu" is a decent one too.

I think that maybe there is nothing else to say. Except I hope you got rid of him.

This sounds great and I like the cultural history clash - this is an era caught in a moment. I don't like 'Keybored' though - tricksy.

quite expressive.

I deleted the 1st 4 poems because of my impatients with waiting to post new ones. They will be re-posted.

Very descriptive and economical - I'm there.

Good stuff.

This sings a sad song, sung by many unheard voices. Too bad for all the Jones', Mr's and Mrs' alike

Opened eyes wielding power, would not, I hope, be apathetic.

Sometimes the energy between lovers is very intense in a pseudo-violent way. No one's really getting hurt. Just sometimes the whole dominent/submissive thing gets played out. You are after all much larger and stronger then us. That alone is an erotic stimulis for women. You could snap our necks, easily, but instead you choose to make us feel good, and wanted. I don't want her to sound needy, so if you could isolate the lines giving her that character, please let me know.

This treads the line between sexiness and violence very carefully. The woman is at first alluring and then scarily needy - the 'beautiful fierce arms' are threatening and sexual. It's not a new observation that sex and violence often go together, but it is done well here. God's wife, you've completely thrown out all your stuff from last week - why?

The writing is too simplistic. The comparison between the snow globe/heart is good, but you need more discriptive words. Use less of these words: again, for, had, has, that,the,was. These words are to be avoided whenever possible. For example: line 6- Makes white flake snowmen- can replace the entire sentence. keep trying.

You've got a natural classic style. I picture a stable-hand, fond of his master, who lost his spritual guidance and his job all in one blow. More of that erotic tension found in "the red shoes". The mare scarred him but he loves and misses her. Because she is strong and potentionally dangerous, but willing to please. There's a beauty beyond telling in that. To tame a gorgeous beast, be able to stand near it, and befriend it is thrilling. Lines 11 & 12 are my favorites, but I can't aticulate why. Ends well, with the insects accentuating his void.

Red heads must stick together. We are an abused minority.

I shall tootle down to my library forthwith in search of creepiness. I like N Hawthorne though - what do you reckon of him?

'Naive as turnips' alone merits big points. I like the picture of the obliviousness of children and the knowledge of its transience. And turnips basically rock.

Very nice. My hair is red, though not naturally. I like red hair, don't listen to what they say.

ironic, well done

Grendal, eats to fuck the mares. resistance is fathomless. be blessed. 7/10!
