Dovina on Some poems by INTRANSIT 4 Nov 2007, 5:42 PM
Yeah, got a few stuck the tubes. Prefer a more descriptive title; I mean describing the good ones in some cute way. Like it a lot.

INTRANSIT on Why I took my ears off by INTRANSIT 6 Nov 2007, 6:45 PM
wow. that bad huh?
INTRANSIT on Behind closed offices by lukehanney 6 Nov 2007, 6:47 PM
perhaps I should k.i.s.s. my pomes too.
Skamper on Behind closed offices by lukehanney 6 Nov 2007, 7:11 PM
The rhymes a bit off...needs sorting, Ideas very easy to identify with though. I like the lightheartedness of it.

This rolls around a bit, lazily working ideas into place. Great descriptions, vaguely horrific ending. I thought the start was a little slow, but after reading a couple of times, it's perfect.

A bit rough here and there...but not too bad
INTRANSIT on Stroke It! by Skamper 7 Nov 2007, 6:53 AM
The word -could- gives the bards the option of doing so. "We could sing this. Nah, lets play Jarts." There may be an even better/more active/forceful word than -will or -want to. (not the first line) Give me more details about s-1-3. (Everything) is too broad a specrum, I think. Try to narrow it. Like I said to dovina, It'sa jumping off point.

well-woven rhyme, both endrhyme and internal. line 8 is a little weak, i think you could easily tighten it up. i know what you were going for with the phrase "corporal punishment," but it still seems out of place. by the last stanza i think you've lost some momentum, but overall i like the images.

extra points for shameless name-dropping ;)

unashamedly light fare. it's a hallmark moment.

great crack about the ethics homework. are you sure you want to keep the prose-poem format though? it makes much of this piece difficult to parse.

OK, so let's try something a little different.

Part of me likes the incongruity. The other part doesn't, 'natch. Hmmm. I know cardboard burns hella fast, and burning gasoline and fire in the second-- The more I look at it the more I like it as is. Is the cardboard only there to describe you ?
Melanie Jade on Who's on First? by Melanie Jade 4 Nov 2007, 2:42 PM
Originally, I considered the title "Who's UP first". Strike out?
Melanie Jade on Uttered Things by Sasha 4 Nov 2007, 2:49 PM
I'm reluctant to praise this poem with words. But it is beautiful.
Melanie Jade on a bit of theory by pete 4 Nov 2007, 2:58 PM
The closing metaphor is very well developed. I love this concept. Where I hold no clout in the poetic society, this poem would mean so much more as a persuasive piece instead of an informative. But excellent.

wtf is this? I hope all your loved ones get into crashes.
Melanie Jade on One Past Short Sleep. by Melanie Jade 4 Nov 2007, 3:26 PM
Spare yourself the trouble. btw, are you related to God? Striking resemblance
