on a clover or two by T. Jonathron Remp 19 Oct 2008, 11:39 AM
funny, could make the last 5 words a new line

you could leave out - but. Makes it more open, seems

You seem groping for the perfect set of words. Much luck! Starting with a cliche is not a good start. "Desperate to portray my mind" is.

Clearly you love her, but clearly too cliched and unedited for posting. Cheers
on Him, again and again... by hobojo 15 Oct 2008, 11:25 AM
a bit too wordy. example: For I truly had the best of intentions - can be something like: I meant well.
I think "him" and "you" are the same person.

it sounds true. I don't care if it's not. The meter is mostly so good that the odd lines stand out. Is there a reason for threw, not through, used throughout?

wow, what a dream! Tell me how to dream this way. Or am I wrong?
on Beauty? by Celticai 5 Oct 2008, 1:59 PM
Why is primping fake. Too many women take this absurd approach; they go out looking like boys. My soul is not even approachable if my hair is a rat's nest and my lips look like Tom McCain's.
on Billy Collins by INTRANSIT 14 Aug 2008, 3:55 PM
My name is not Billy Collins
I'd leave out the yes's only because it sounds more like a drum without them. Most of the lines have a drum beat, but a few don't, like "Overlaid with the haunting tones of the pipes" Not that they all have to, but it would be nice.

drop "the" before grass

And I'll whisper back, You ugly piece of selfish flesh

not bad, just that the harness of 575, like corsets, is too restricting and unnecessary even in haiku and church.
on :: chameleon by elementalidad 6 Sep 2008, 6:36 AM
yep, another 575 haiku, straight laced and proper. It needs an "a" to begin Line 2.

SuperDreamer has done you well. Ideas are better than poetry, so you've got the good part done

Two male votes for the carpet’s rise as opener. Intriguing, vague and suggestive, yes. But to say this scrawl is better than "Rancor" - well, please reconsider.
The whole thing is melodramatic, not just knives and razors, a teenie kinda pimple. I expect better from street folks. Not that the execution is bad, or the titanium quill rusty, just the nonsense of the whole idea.
on SWF seeks SWM by Bethy 4 Sep 2008, 10:08 AM
Great, been there, usually ends like this. A good description

get real!
Swallow it, you idiot! It's what you really want
