on -750,000 in Rwanda by ALChemy 12 Jun 2005, 11:14 AM
I think this is a very bad poem. It doesn’t hit hard, it hits the spot where the blow’s already been taken. And if it did not affect you, eleven years ago, this poem certainly will not change that. And how is it ‘emotionally involved’? It deals with the Rwanda genocide in a kind of moralistic tone of voice, the ‘we all are guilty’thing, and then, in the commentaries, it’s about sleep and dead and heap, blahblahblah, very abstract, technical, not personal at all – it should have known at least ONE name of a Tutsi family for it to become more then what it is now: simply a flat piece of socalled ‘involved’ poetry. So what’s your next piece about? Bosnia? Darfur? The famine in North Korea? The Cultural Revolution? Iraq, maybe? Kyoto?

Strangest limerick I've ever read. Pretty dull poem, though.

I really start to like your stuff. It keeps me reading. I’ve read this, using the ‘distraction’ poem as a kind of key – how to concentrate time, guess I’m sounding a bit pretentious here but who cares.

What's your problem? This is the third one I've read about the man, who is, like he said himself, simply expressing his opinion. Is it so easy to tempt the chumps into the frenzy? Make a fuzz, cause a buzz.

I think it's poetry. Like the way the spin-wringer resonates through the stanzas. Doctrines and doctrines.

Sure. Just center it and it looks like an inscription on a memorial. It's postcard poetry. The voice needs a little reverberation here. The words don't do the job.

Just one more pipe and I'll get out of the zero drop zone. I'll rate this one some time hobbing on the Eyeball Massacre Train. Axial, that is.

It's a poem about sloth, I think. But there's to much poet in it. Lose the voice, show the scene.

I don't think haiku should have something to give away. The universe is not to be tricked. Then again, I don't have a real taste for haiku. They're a bit like sushi to me - I'll aways look around for more.

Thank you. The gipsy told me smoking will kill me - I'll light up, die reading.

I'm not going to vote on poetry, ever - but I like this one. It's a bit hypographic and you should buy O'Hara.
