I rather thought theese meant you were a southerner.

Sounds like something the wretched Dovina would write. It is all tell and not show.

Like the curate's egg. I don't like 'Your scornful view on things is far too grim;'.

replace 'brings forth tears/ to my eyes' with 'brings forth tears/ to my bum'

This is pretty good. 'And words are the easiest' is rather cack-handed (the easiest what/of what). I like 'break them across lines'.

Every stanza should end with a full stop. I know you are experimenting with style but it doesn't work. I don't like the final stanza (first two lines of) either.

sadder wiser beers is urgh. The final stanza's enjambment is off. Why not just: It was a fire balloon from Essen/launched to measure high altitude winds. No aliens here/just hazy earthlings, shooting/into the dark bushes.

Too disparate see daniella's txt to Russia. The 'I am' in the first line is used to draw together the images.

A little unsubstantial. It has a well crafted order.

Mature version of truth or dare sounds terrible. I much prefer it with a young filly.:(

I don't know why you argue that this poem has any subtlety. It doesn't. On the plus side it isn't too shoddy. I dont like the 'not as good as tv reality' line. I think it would work better if the narrator were watching something specific.

This is good. Apart from the last verse. The last verse is bollocks.
