As lyrics, 7. As stand-alone poem 5.

I have a hard time reading "paragraph" poetry. Take out 50 words, and split it up into somewhat rhythmic lines.
Hard to follow possibly because of the indentation. I like a lot of the phrases, but I can't follow because of punctuation and spacing.

I don't understand... yet I like it.

I personally like poems that give less details. Let the reader make his/her own conclusion. Give them a feeling, not how you are feeling. Lead them to the conclusion through visual messages.

Random words do not necessarily make good poetry. What does "Zombie makers came with cliches and syringes" mean exactly?!?

No explanation you can give will correct this poor form.

Sorry.

I like the second verse alot, but the first is worthless. Make a connection.

Great poem! I love the rhythm. I remember the poem about your legs. One of my favorites! This captures the same feeling.
not poetry. Somewhat intelligent angst.

pete, you need some more LSD. Keep those brain juices flowing.

Nice imagery....but forced. It doesn't feel natural.
I liked the first few lines because I could keep the beat.

That must have been all you had going, because once I lost the beat, I hated it.

Thanks for responding. :)

ok...It was just a simple point in time type thing, but I see where you are going.

What type of payoff do you generally look for in a poem?

I guess I was only trying to convey a feeling. Nothing more. I see that it could seem "incomplete" for some people.

I'll see if I can expand on it.

Have you submitted anything recently? This site needs some tlc from poem makers.
