Satisfying and all that. *10*
Drunk Russian Poet replying on The Hot Job by peaceseeker 24 Jun 2004, 7:57 PM
Because we're looking for a poetic life, when it doesn't exist.
Drunk Russian Poet on Walk with you by moonlightdance 24 Jun 2004, 7:55 PM
Lose the rhymes and this isn't bad.
Drunk Russian Poet on Someday by moonlightdance 24 Jun 2004, 7:53 PM
This isn't that great as a poem, but for some reason I like it. Would be better, methinks, as a lyric.

Jesus. That's the dimmest observation ever.

Just a note: try saying Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggggg you'll find it's not different from say Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggggggggggggggggg or Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeggggggg. that's because, as all choral teachers preach, you can't hold out a consonant without putting an extra vowel on the end. just a thought

Forget it.

an understandable comment to be sure, because now, didn't we all like the pretty graphs in our textbooks better than our professors lectures? honestly though, i think the poem puts forth its messure clearer through 'telling' than it might've otherwise

Congratulations on making the top of the Best Lyrics list. Now, please sit down and put your pants back on. -10-

Oh my god zodiac!Your music was'nt that bad, save the recording quality.I really did'nt even give it ten seconds, because it was made by you.After revisiting...could use a bit more soul,a bit more love,maybe a bit more honesty,but who am I?A failed poet,with no sense of taste or talent. P.S. I like Counting Crows or I think I used to like them?

Poop pie ala mood.
horus8 on I Am The Wolf of the Steppes by versus_u 24 Jun 2004, 6:55 PM
Well for one, this lawnchair, and for two my pristine nudity and Mai Tai.

Don't forget, "and BLACK TOO... Asswisp" Simply because, I don't like Doug very much. I find his writing to be lacking in every major category. Starting with homosexuallity and ending with bean farming.
Dovina replying on Center Of The Universe by Dovina 24 Jun 2004, 6:05 PM
Good idea, maybe: "If I crush an insomniac word twiddler," And end the poem with: "No matter, it was only a poet."
Dovina on Starting Mode by zenhaircut 24 Jun 2004, 5:54 PM
I'd scratch the first verse. "Our soles preceed our souls," "no longer cold," not needed. "My freeform flails" Is your friend really 96 and dancing?
Dovina on Nihil Obstat by temet_nosce 24 Jun 2004, 5:48 PM
As an addict to writing, I think I understand your position. But it's not clearly stated, even to an addict, therefore probably not to normal people. Zero in on what it is you're most concerned about.
Dovina on To A Debaucherous Lover by versus_u 24 Jun 2004, 5:43 PM
Could you say whatever it is a little more simply please.
wilco on Center Of The Universe by Dovina 24 Jun 2004, 4:03 PM
I like the thinking behind this but in liu of changing insect in the last line, I would change it in the line "If I crush an insect" to read If I crush a stinkbug or whatever. That would give the person reading something to visualize and, I think, drive your point home more clearly by stating "It was only an insect.
Dovina on afraid by hbhpoems 24 Jun 2004, 4:02 PM
"now instead of in the past" This is a good start. The idea is there. It needs metaphor or clever prose or something tricky because that's what poetic readers want.
wilco on The Sea (revised) by Dovina 24 Jun 2004, 4:00 PM
I'm glad you learned to like the sea. I'm going there next week and can't freakin' wait.
