melon is a bit vague - considering you follow with periwinkle

third stanza line two - 'so' not clear on it's intent. Is it your joints that are aching so - or is it because they are aching you succumb? If the latter maybe a comma after ache?

This poem has a pureness about it, I love it.

In agreement with intransit - bitch needs it's own line

who gets the lead - I would like to think it's a suicide, a point made, a final thrust of guilt.

Nice work, shady and direct.

I read this before you edited - you did a good job then, and now the polishing is evident.

the last 2/3 lines need some personalisation - perhaps mentioning colour/markings of the eyes. Let us know your dog. :)

line 4 first stanza - all that I despise - that which I despise...something like that to rid the repitition of 'what I'

just an observation...like this a lot though, the inevitibility of it. :)

this could have been funny...nah...who am I kidding, it's god awful
on It's about truckin' by INTRANSIT 16 Nov 2007, 2:07 AM
Since I've been travelling and no doubt annoying the hell out of truckies (going 80k's when the limits 110) I've developed a need to know why this kind of life is so appealing. I say life, instead of work beacuse I feel in another time I think I could have lived this way. Could you write about this aspect, or have you done so? I like this poem's descriptive, insightful picture of what the life entails. But, would love to read about why.

there's always a line that needs something - I see what you mean about line 8, it's a little clumsy. Yet, the line works so well with a pause after own.

The rhymes a bit off...needs sorting, Ideas very easy to identify with though. I like the lightheartedness of it.
on Why I took my ears off by INTRANSIT 6 Nov 2007, 7:37 PM
This rolls around a bit, lazily working ideas into place. Great descriptions, vaguely horrific ending. I thought the start was a little slow, but after reading a couple of times, it's perfect.

A bit rough here and there...but not too bad

I feel you working up to something in the first verse and then kinda fade away in the second, it needs some strength to show conviction. I like the idea of learning from an unexpected source.

perfect last line - love it when reading one that hits ya just like that.
on a bit of theory by pete 3 Nov 2007, 10:28 PM
I like it - although I'm not sure if I should.

If I had enough sense I'd be terrified by this
on Dark Matter by Musicman 27 Oct 2007, 3:58 AM
I have a problem with the line breaks because I want this to fit a rhythm my tongue can get around without spitting all over my monitor. And with saying that I feel like I've justified the whole concept with which you write...or did I miss something?
on Four Skins by xyz 27 Oct 2007, 4:06 AM
last line - pretty good

title spelling reminds me of a band
on Henry's breeches by Stephen Robins 22 Oct 2007, 10:21 PM
It's horrible - the indignity of being an old man... hurts huh?
on some deleted poem 22 Oct 2007, 10:26 PM
would you actually say "hey young dude"? I can see someone saying hello my dear and hey old mate...It seems to me that the opening line of each verse is directed at the person, followed by your own internal musings about them. Is that right? I like this, really like it but the young dude kinda sticks...

Remembering her makes me thrown...and nigh and ligh

Not sure these should mean?
