boy oh boy you are firing these off today! nice one.
3rd line's a bit lacking. you had the opportunity for some punch, but you slightly missed it (not to mention syllables)
The line that captivated me was "with you, you dont know jack". It's just so pure.
Rather weak and stolid.
what is "unbareab"?
cliche:"like a gunshot"
A lovely poem about a middle aged man with scissors. is it modeled after Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird?
your wit made me laugh. out loud. honestly.
A nice father's day poem. however, not a haiku. you have about 195 too many syllables.
LAst 2 lines of S1 just fuck it up, other than that I really absorbed myself in to this so I ask you from the bottom of my tiny black heart, change it. 7
I love these outbursts of yours there so fucking apt.8
You are a Gentlemen, thank you very much.
Dear Robert
It was this you composed so majestically that I love.
Waves fold on the beach
Sand clings to the old dead man
Filling his wrinkles
Its timeless.

Thank you very much <{Baba^Yaga}> for the advice. Ah, I'd better get back to the drawing board, then...
I could teach you the art of poetry for a small fee. The fee would be your love draped over my broad Greek shoulders.
So you are saying what? Start over, and try concentrating on specific subjects that do not include yourself. A book, a bird, a cafe, your period, your breasts, your beautiful pissed off pursed lips. Anything but self regret and suicide those feeling need to leak naturally into your work and not contaminate the entirety of the piece all at once. Do you have beautiful pursed lips by the way?={;}

I am learning. I've learned that I need to try a different type of poetry. Starting over! Thanks for the comments. :)
Why'd you pull your poem down? Don't you want to learn?
Wonderful. Last two lines were great. Catchy title, too. 9
I mean get rid of it--change it. strive for freshness in language. I apologize for my ambiguity.
I thought about the bareness. I think there were system probs last night. we couldn't gt on line this mornin'.
