Tahlia on Optimism, pessimism and my quarter theory by INTRANSIT 13 Jul 2003, 10:25 PM
Such a true observation of optical illusions. Excellent piece.
Tahlia on New Forms by Rodavlas 13 Jul 2003, 10:20 PM
I really liked this, wonderfully descriptive!
Tahlia on unsent by Bill Z Bub 13 Jul 2003, 10:18 PM
Not really one for love poems, but I enjoyed this piece! Very well written.

Spelling = views, question boundful, do you mean bountiful A little repetitive on the New Forms bit.

Well, I know it isn't, now. And thanks.

I want to assure you I meant that in a completely humble, non-arrogant way. Take every comment I make with a grain of salt, because I am highly uneducated. My post-secondary education consisted of Art school. As for the English language and grammar, and literature and poetic devices and meter and such, I am mostly self taught. Oops, I just blew my cover! The gig is up! You'll never take me alive, copper! Nyaaah!

I really dig that a love poem can be clever, and dark, and NOT too sappy. Take my breath and take my tongue are great requests for a kiss. I'm sorry, you are mistaken. This is not your best work. But it might be, tomorrow. 9

it's ok for a debut, just work harder
Bill Z Bub on The Umpteenth Home by EAger to Offend 13 Jul 2003, 6:09 PM
The only critique I have for your writing is the dearth of concrete imagery. Something to bite into, the juice streaming out in molten arcs.
Rodavlas on Lullaby (Finding Peace) by Miggy 13 Jul 2003, 6:06 PM

"Maybe it's time that i shut up I think if you shut up it would be best for all of us.
Bill Z Bub on A Brand New Eye by EAger to Offend 13 Jul 2003, 5:53 PM
slightly abstract, but the poets will get it
Rodavlas on In the Vicinity of Dreams by Blue Magpie 13 Jul 2003, 5:48 PM
wholesome, and romantic
Bill Z Bub on Optimism, pessimism and my quarter theory by INTRANSIT 13 Jul 2003, 5:30 PM
This one's worth a quarter for certain. And I'm a cheap bastard. What the hell, here's a ten.
EAger to Offend on Extra Strength Tylenol by DurtKL 13 Jul 2003, 4:41 PM
No, It's not mind-bending in it's originality. But, it is well done. Can't we all just get along. *sniff*
EAger to Offend on Some Things by Christof 13 Jul 2003, 4:14 PM
Where can I get your book? I can't stop reading your stuff and the computer screen is killing my eyes!
EAger to Offend on Blues by Christof 13 Jul 2003, 4:05 PM
I've felt that!! The puckering lung, both physical and emotional. Dead serious and hilarious at the same time. Giving you tens (and here's another one) is screwing the bell curve, so just post some substandard work as therapy for your writer's block and everything will be just fine!
EAger to Offend on Pilgrimage by Christof 13 Jul 2003, 3:55 PM
Yeah, the third verse needs refining, I think. May I suggest: "...Like a TV at bedtime my shadow shuts down." Although I could see one resisting to that near-rhyme.
EAger to Offend on Instructions to a Sculptor by Christof 13 Jul 2003, 3:41 PM
This is stunning. Truly, the best poem I've read on this site. I'm suspicious: either we have a cheat among us or just a truly great poet. I can't imagine where those zeroes come from. This is a 10 above other 10s. To me it's the benchmark of the site.
EAger to Offend on i will not come to bangladesh by lost in america 13 Jul 2003, 3:33 PM
This poem is a lesson in conjuring images with words. I have signed up for the course and my cheque is in the mail. Only, something in the end "feels" awkward. The brevity of "...only to drown", I think. I may disagreee with myself after another read or two, though. 9 for the feelings. Encore!
