Much obliged, my good man.
the story of an altarboy who wore white too long. Then one day he got gangrene and his toes rotted off, each little piggy one by one falling and collected in a basket that he keeps in the back of a cupboard. Just don't let the earwigs in. They have a knack for pinching what little memory is left.
Hmm, I see you've been around a while. But I don't think I've read any poems of yours before today. Oh here's a Ten --> 10.
I saw an amazing movie last night.: "Frida". Ah, Salma baby, I don't know wether to salute or cry. Or both.
Hey do you ever stop writing? Didn't think so. Is okay if I tape this to my bathroom mirror and repeat it to myself every morning?
Green teeth. Exquisite.
I raise my coffee cup to you, sir. Salut!
This is what happens when I'm away from this site for a month.
nice minimalist piece ** I've been away far too long ** and anarchy has descended on rancid mustard wings **
also, I'm getting published ** hooray, I am semi-semi-professional **
Nobody does it better. Nebarska. No a/c.
Hotel 'puter. Shouldst I say HOSTILE?
Life sucks without the 'ranker.

This is uite simply briliant, how are you doing steve ?I have been drinking now for six hours and I hope you are still at work mofo.
I'm reminded of how Aristotle once said that man, like elephants and bees, are inherently political animals.
HUT?
Thank you. Much obliged.
Crafty.
Yeah, you're a really good poet. Superb collection really.
You're good. Have A HUT awarde. 10
lol.
I'm inclined to give a higher rating, if only because vilanelles are so difficult to write well. You've taken to the structure, and the narrative flow of the piece is intriguing.
reads well.
heavily influenced by biblical imagery I think
painful in nature/ubiquitous in effect is a nice play on words
nice simple words to build a picture, not too tied to loaded terms
The repetition in this piece is delightful and well-crafted. There are certainly many cases of repetition ruining a poem, but this certainly isn't one of them.
Profound.
A wonderful piece in the tradition of concrete and typographical poetry. Well done.
