jesus. get a fucking life. if you don't like the idea of people ranking the poems, then go start your own goddamn site, 'homies wickid poempraiser' or some shit like 'dat', and you and all your wicky wicky wicky wack crew can throw down there.

note the time.
This poem was some sort of school project you hadto make a poem that had 4 sentences and that rhymes at -even and -al. But it sucks.
Dutch does look a lot like German, 'caus the are both Germanic languages. But I think English is more like French, Italian and Latin. Dutch has taken over some words from english but it is a whole different language.
the ending is very very disappointing. there is nothing new here. the chasing frogs was new. years passed but not lived is stale. take the linebreaks back out. then people won't read it and be disappointed by it.
Please change the title to ~*Hells Game*~
you're SUPPOSED to be a girl, unity. remember? or are you getting senile in your old age?
Are you calling me a liar?
i know i am.
You are laughable, to be sure. Not only are you an ignorant simpleton, but you also attempt to defend your ignorance, thus rendering you an even bigger clown. Have you ever even listened to Charlie Parker or Dizzy Gillespie? If not, buy a copy of Charlie Parker's 'Ko-ko' to give you an idea of what REAL bop sounds like, and while doing so realise that it's foolish for an amateur such as yourself to dabble with the great art-forms. Leave it to us professionals, kiddo.
I instantly like anyone named after the greatest Brit rock band, ever (I CHOOSE to see your user name this way). Evil hearted you, heart full of soul, smokestack lightnin', train kept a rollin'....
The virgins always get backstage, no matter what they've got to say.
Wrong. All bebop goes "shoe-be-do-be-do."
i couldn't agree more! i also think that all of the "o"'s should be changed to katie's signature comment: =-)
the poem would then improve by leaps and bounds.
you men are all under her spell, i think.
I'll guess that you deserve a 10; but, alas, I don't speak/read/write Dutch. Seems to rhyme. Methinks this the first completely foreign language poem on this site. I'll have to cook up one in German. Isn't Dutch just English and German thrown together?
Nice ideas, and well written - job's a good'un!
Very funny! Much mirth was had with this one!!

There was a strange man named George Bush
Who seemed in some sort of a rush:
For he won an election
When he should have been sectioned
That crazy young man named George Bush!
Seeing as you are the Arch-pedant of Poemranker, I'll let you do pissy comments (if they're going to be made, at least have 'em done prop), as they're so beautifully written... (ahem!) Also, thanks for pointing out the typos, and for another person calling me SIR Yardbird - I've not been officially knighted, but it's in the pipeline(hmm, maybe it's time I updated my username, bwah, hah, hah...!)!
I love the ideas here especially S2. 'Love is warm...' is a very insightful line. last 4 lines S3 in particular need dressing up. I think you could really turn this into solid poem if you put more sentiment into it.
S2 L5 "renewing" sort of brings the mood to a grinding stop. Could you use a synonym? The last stanza I particularly like.
