After that dream, I don't need to ask. You had a nice day.
Some commas needed. Using some, implies they're all there, but no, I think.

You've caped all line beginnings except Line 4.
Thirty two should be thirty-two.

I like hso hoping/longing in the last few lines.
on Window Washer (midtown) by ecargo 11 Jan 2006, 2:08 PM
I saw a flagman once who made a dance of the mundane. It's inspiring - the window washer and your poem.
on the light of a truly bright day by digipoet 10 Jan 2006, 10:58 AM
I agree. But a clever twist would be nice - maybe, A bright cloudy day, or somesuch.
on portrait of powerlessness by digipoet 9 Jan 2006, 8:37 PM
Try leaving off the last line, or make it the title.

"I have ifs, and you have me," What a way to live. Yet it's too often true.

Funny
on Oh Verrazano by Joe-joe 10 Jan 2006, 10:37 AM
Maybe it should be "low wage" rather than "no wage."
And maybe "fell from her" not "for her."

Nice beginning. Could leave out "always" and the () around proximity. The ending is good too, but switching metaphors is troubling.

Art interpretation carried too far.
on cat by Dental Panic 11 Jan 2006, 1:49 PM
It would make a more news-worthy test if you were in that box instead of a cat. Now that would be dental panic.

Beautiful love poem.
"Naked Gods dropped their robes" - If they are naked, how do they drop robes?
"Enamel flints engulfed from desire" - Rhythm seems off.
I'd prefer not to see the "if" in the last line, but that's just me.

How does a smile become a martyr?
"craven deprications" Did you use a thesaurus for "cowardly blames"? Not that it matters, but simpler language goes down easier. Still, I like this.
on levity kiss by skaskowski 13 Jan 2006, 12:49 PM
I'm glad you explained that. But why not just let the first line be: Leviticus, levity kiss.

"singed with lipstick" is good.
on angst of the saints by calliope 13 Jan 2006, 12:51 PM
It seems the last line should be, "i'm just as surprised as you when i reply."
To answer your title question, no. It would help to get the grammar right; but even then, I don't see that it makes sense.
on awakening by pollywolly 15 Jan 2006, 2:11 PM
If it says what I think it might, it's a nice picture. Could you make it more clear, and say stand instead of stands?
on Whenever Forever Is by Enkidu 15 Jan 2006, 8:13 PM
This is good,but I think present tense would be better than dodging, drinking, ratioining, etc.
