Sasha on The Roses by poetryman 8 Nov 2004, 5:01 PM
Extremely campy, an example of the botanical mawkishness with which all mediocre poets are to some degree suffused. Sorry to break it to you but this poem isn't great. Poems about flowers are tired and pallid. I have a feeling you're going to retaliate with "well I write about what I want to write about...etc. etc." Fine, but understand that I've read third-rate poems like this by the dozen. I'm not trying to be a curmudgeon, just honest. My sympathy begets you a 6

I get the overwhelmed but not much else. Guesses, but they're pretty random.

Amazing, who'd have thought that such words as body, you and ranking could be placed so spectacularly at the end of lines 1, 2 and 3. Marvelous.

an awesome piece as far as learned behavior is concerned, the vicious cycles of life need to be broken by those who are mentally stronger, the story is sad, but well told, don't be a victim by creating victims....God Bless....Bob:)

wow. cutting they really does something. :) I'll probably do so. I certainly didn't intend a list of diggables. I'm glad you appreciate. :)
I love drunken diatribes. ONly reason to go, really. I have to give this a 10, just for "meatballism"

I would cut the "they" from the second line, making the statement imperative. Did i just read "a list of diggables" ? Do my eyes deceive me? I dig it. (sorry)

If God is perfect, you cannot trump. I thought that was the topic.

By trumping, and saying "How d'you like that, God?!!"
Good, except for the diatribe title and first line. It's better to remain subtle.

I definitely don't want a book; I wouldn't get past the first chapter before killing either the book or myself.

Gold is down there too, and a host of unseen and unseeable magnets. Digging can mean all these things and more. It seems like a listing of diggables.

I give you a poem; you ask for a book; I give you a book, you ask for a life. Been there.
