In Verse 1, the two couplets seem unrelated until I get to the last line of Verse 2. The first 2 lines of Verse 2 seem choppy and wordy. It's a good thought, but you might want to consider rearranging the lines.

This is good except for the last 6 lines which open a new subject.

I agree that the punctuation is not needed.

Haikus are supposed to be 5-7-5, thus the "There are" in line 2. But those words are so trite here that I'd omit them. Otherwise good.

Adolescence hits boys harder than girls. We bleed a little and breasts pop out, but boys are crazed with madness.

A good take on fall, except for "frigid air conquest /
Distant flames battle." Maybe something about flames in the wood stove instead. Welcome to Poemranker.

She's a lucky girl.

I have not seen the painting, but already think I know how it looks from your vivid description. Could you post a link to it?

I hate the term, true love. It is love or not, but what is true love? Otherwise, I find this fanciful, but alright in a mushy way.

I don't see how you race through a dream.

It's cute the way you split the lines and ran some of the words together, but frankly, I think it detracts.

I was about to complain that the line breaks are odd when for some reason it seemed to read well anyway. Comma after night.
This is the craziest thing I've seen you write, starting with the title. (And btw, welcome back) What on earth are you trying to say with these mushy, flowery, King James words? "and all the world and love are young"? Really! And "enjoyest thee" must surely mean 'enjoy thou.' And "steepy mountain yields" means something I'm sure. "Roses and posies" is a bit lik saying 'women and people.'

Oh, yo're pulling our collective legs, aren't you? The last line is lol.

The daughter is her daughter's child. On it goes. Well done.
on Irreversible by Caducus 19 Oct 2004, 9:49 AM
Quite good, especially, "the victim of lies became what he despised." I would omit the last 3 lines.

Comically sad.
on Drive on by Meler1123 19 Oct 2004, 12:12 PM
I like the driving rhythm. Too many adjectives in lines like, "Awoken by that loud rumbling sound." -> Awake to rumbles, or something simple like that.

Nursery rhyme madness. Why? They are mad enough as is.
on Unbalancing Act by MacFrantic 19 Oct 2004, 12:46 PM
"often crazy in the head" about sums it up.
on Unseen Death by Fire_is_cool 19 Oct 2004, 2:18 PM
A short story with too many "then"s and commas, Not a poem.
on the victory by oneglove 19 Oct 2004, 5:19 PM
I wonder why you break rhythm in the last three lines.

I weep with joy
for Christ has conquered

As a tree delivered
Him to hades
now a tree releases
me from bondage

Just a thought.
