I must be in a good mood, everything looks brilliant today. My only peeve is the use of 'time' twice and the end of a line.

In the beginning of the play Romeo is scolded about his being love sick over another, I forget her name, R something, and then so quickly becoming love sick over Juliet. Can you use that? You'd have to put yourself in Romeo's place.
I love " fastest rapper..." This poem reminds of Langston Hughes. I haven't read him in a while, i should do that. Very good.

OK, good, that's how it reads.

Some of this is brilliant. Soemof this makes me squirm. I'll have to get use to it and come back to it later.

Thanks for voting. Does this criticism seem fair?
Christof replying on On the Swings by Christof 18 Oct 2002, 8:45 AM
I think really it was a lack of clarity - in trying to capture the derangement of the narrator, the poem itsef became confusing. The usage of 'Sole' is very unusual, the word isn't usually used as a noun unless you're talking about the soles of the feet, which I think put some people off, and the red nose is a comic image and it was hard to be sure if you intended it to be so. It's not a lost cause at all, though - it just comes across as being a bit weird. That can be a good thing, though.

"...bare these sinews" is the only thing that hangs me up here. S3 is gorgeous. Stop running in incestual circles. See some other band. I went to Bob Dylan last night and 2 brothers tried to pick up on me.

juliet could have easily had him, were he not a montague. i could easily love him, had i not lost my heart to another capulet, who will not return it

This was it: 'OK, now I see that she on the perch is Juliet - it was the girl who was confusing me. I think it's the perch. If you made it a balcony, perhaps I'd have got it quicker. Although the 'What's in a name' quote is pretty much a giveaway, now I look at it. Ugh, Friday afternoon, I'm not at my quickest. '

Yes, the target image in the first stanza - of course that links back to 'Bowed'.
