This moved me. I felt the pain.

It's hard to make decent poetry from heart felt anger over war and politics- not a bad effort-
on Censor by nentwined 15 Jan 2007, 7:53 PM
So the censor is XXXing all those thoughts or lines-
like pee filtered in your body by the liver-
still not a great poem, though I guess I understood it-

on standing outside the door by nentwined 15 Jan 2007, 7:51 PM
The "don't bug me" I take it refers to the other person waiting to get into the bathroom, named in the title-
on Deja Vu by Jeremi B. Handrinos 21 Dec 2020, 6:26 PM
Loved some of your lines:
especially
"sky will keep, and the sea, it sleeps; "thoughts I thumbnailed to cork board" and "giant redwoods, so old/committed to reach, and be firm"

Felt some of it (especially beginning) did not mesh with the rest, which was like a progressive story of a life. Might be better to start with second stanza, greater impact that way. Possibly?! Like your ending.
LOVED the line:
"The sun had just yoked"- original and excellent!

Some seemed a little lackluster: the lines"whales were sick too" and a little trite: "I saw no foot-steps home"--The first two stanzas are fresh and hardhitting. Rest of poem did not match that power.
on The Pig Roast by Jeremi B. Handrinos 21 Dec 2020, 6:32 PM
Intense. Moving.
Powerful description, strong ending.
on From Then Till Now by Jeremi B. Handrinos 21 Dec 2020, 6:35 PM
