Tarquin De La Bog on Clit by some deleted user 14 Aug 2002, 9:46 AM
For an off-the-cuff, slapdash effort, not bad at all. 5. It made me smile. Still, I hope you didn't slave away on it.

Dull. 2. I read the whole poem, but the fact that I really couldn't care less about it before I got halfway through tells the whole story, me thinks.

nice sound

Inoffensive dross. 5. There's nothing here that incenses me, but then again, there's nothing to make me ever want to read it again.

A successful Haiku makes words seem irrelevant. This has it in abundance. 9. Brilliant.

A freaking stalker. No wonder you live in a forest. "I have never witnessed before in that" this line feels strained. The end image is a little confusing (at least to me) - I guess he wouldn't pull over to the side and park (would that be to obvious), so he has to hang out in the middle of the road, gape and gawk, until another car moves him along - now that isn't obvious.

the title ruined this "poem", but the last line doomed it to be recognized as an obvious attempt at perverted silliness.

I don't know writer of triangle poems. I get some self pity in there. Like maybe he is turning away because that person now has something he could never give her. The images are clever in their simplicity, which makes me think more self-pity than any sort of conscious manly decision. I think the narrator is a wuss for not stopping and only moping around the outside and giving someone his excuse to move on. But I still think it is a freaking stalker poem.
Nice. Some really good lines, and the ending is powerful. 8. Would have scored even higher if it weren't a tad lengthy and colloquial in places.

A funky tactic. I was a sucker. But then again, I am from Misery.
Robert K Foster on High? Coo... by Modulo 14 Aug 2002, 9:19 AM
I suggest getting rid of the title. it takes away from your poem, and (traditionally) haiku are untitled.

it's all different now, p&k. read it again. he wants to stay, to go back, to regain what is lost. instead, he's in the middle of the road, and chooses to turn away.

dull yet contemporary

Tarquin De La Bog on Salt by <~> 14 Aug 2002, 9:55 AM
Very good! 8. The form is great, and some of the imagery is nicely done - 'vinegar now in his kiss'. Just one thing though; there's no mention of Tequila!
Tarquin De La Bog on Thorns by poetandknowit 14 Aug 2002, 10:01 AM
Good so far, but it's too vague. 6. You've left me wanting more, which I suppose is a good thing, but I want to know more details about the situation you describe. If I was feeling harsh, I'd suggest the poem is wishy-washy toss, but I'm not. I like the way it is left open to interpretation.

This is just flat out boring.
