Dear Nicholas:
Thank you very much for your kind responses, and your appreciation for my style. In fact, I am, not a prof, but, just a regular community college Instructor of Psychology doing my best to learn how to become a, hopefully, fairly decent writer and, perhaps even, poet.
Thanks again,
Doug
Very wistful indeed, surprisingly for you. This is lovely.

By the way, are you really a professor? Should I call you Prof. Doug?
Wistful. Very lovely.
Thanks for your kind words... I wrote this (and just about everything else) while I was in college. I had just read Huxley's Brave New World and was bitter about being a slave to society.
Not what I expected from the (misspelt) title, but a well pieced haiku nevertheless. Take this 7, and use it well.
And yes, I am a pedant.
nice.
I love it. I felt every line, it seems you put your sol into it. I would love to know your inspiration for this one?
Spelling mistakes and typographical errors should not be made on a piece that is being submitted on the internet. I kinda like the concept but words aren't as vivid as they could be. You need to be a little (sp) stronger in the middle of the poem.
Very good poem, contradictive statements kept me motioning but the last three lines put the whole poem in perspective.

This is the funniest poem I've ever read. You rock! 100%
Wow! her poems quite nice. has a tinge of goth to it though and unexpected alliteration. fave line:white rash on black ash
My friend "near" isn't a real friend. This poem is about the comfort you have with close friends when they are near you. By me talking about "near" never appearing, it implies I have no close friends or no one can ever understand me.
lol. i think? or you could be the devil? forget about it.
All right, I admit it. Poetie does beat this guy. I was going through the comments on one of your poemes and found the 'I will be contacting the FBI' remark. I think that takes the prize of those left on here.
good luck at the lucrative world of pro rapping. i heard there's a real market these days!
Your plural of 'monkeys' should exclude the apostrophes. I like anything with monkeys.
