richa on Down Lovers Lane by Mr Pig 8 Apr 2003, 11:22 AM
good wordplay as ever great flow A few cliches near the end 'tangerine skies' and 'moon turns to rust' doesn't seem to mean anything. I dont think the poem would lose much if you binned them. As for dandelion fairies, a perfectly fair description.

It is obvious that shadows feint, that is why they are shadows. I am not sure you need to tell the reader that. "fairies in dandelion’s" - what the hell are these. You cannot have realist images and throw these oddities in. It does not work. Even with some of the unabashedly overdramatic langue. "dry death of leaves" = again like the shadow image, there seems to be too much language here. The reader knows that dry leaves are obviously dead. Love is not a constant, "Love is an instant, And love favors the weak, They are the dreamers like me who weep" = you change the context with these lines into a telling montage, which comes off as some sort of didactical statement. What is the purpose of telling the reader these things? Why not let the poem show them without the author butting in and telling the reader how he feels. Engines purr? The end just rips into pure sap, which ultimately makes the poem fail, but with a rewrite and a lessing of tone and making the context clear (i.e. this is an adult flashing back at his first lost love? Only the Sycamore tree, which is a cliche, shows this. If it is an adult-to-adult relation then the Sycamore tree, which is a cliche, makes it seem young and trite). Sort out the context and maybe you will find the poem in here.

One always has to ask the girl first (preferably when she's awake). One can never know what she'll decide duty is for that particular day.
Undo your belt and bend over for six of the Best, of course. Good God man, have you no sense of duty?
I forgot to ask... if I come across you doing this again sometime, what do I do?
I still haven't figured it out yet, dahling. Sorry.

When you say that when the pink panther theme is playing it seems like you're saying it in the clouseau voice and it sounds really great.

You watery spermed little maggot I do not have a pigface. You are a very juvenile and vacuous shrub who needs some manners. I do not and will not vote on your work because it is appallingly distasteful, misogynistic and basically rubbish. Now be gone you cretin.

Very sweet, in a good way, but slightly over the top at the start. I have to go marketing right now but wanted to take a look, I'll be back later. I like it, lot's of simile and metaphor, my favorites, welcome back. I think you mean 'window' at the end.

I did find the picture of the American and British soldiers quite hilarious of them 'chilling' on may say in his palace smoking.

WAYS TO SPICE UP YOUR LIFE #3 OF 100 Play the theme music from 'The Pink Panther' while searching for your keys or wallet. It will make the hunt tremendously exciting, and you will not mind if you miss your train or have to go to work nude.

The intended lines were actually "He waxes them with Sealing-waxe/Lest they become unglued", but due to a clerical error the old version was posted.
