Some cool ideas. The whole thing feels quite bleak - or have I read it wrong?

Only one way to find out, right?

I used to live near-ish to there.
Agree with nentwined - much of this is lovely. I particularly like the closing lines - very nice.

I haven't a clue what's going on here.

Good God, yes - I'd forgotten about that! It's too late to go rooting round a broken computer tonight, but I wrote a renga once upon a time after that. Maybe I'll post it one day.

Mostly ace. May I suggest some crits? I'm going to anyway.
Line 4 trips the rhythm too much - perhaps needs revising?
Line 8 - get rid of 'like'. It's unnecessary and interrupts the flow.
As someone's already said, 'valo(u)r' and 'greater' just don't do it. The other rhymes are perfect (flesh/creche? Fantastic!) so don't spoil it right at the end.
Otherwise, like -8-

Truthfully, this has made my day.
There's no synopsis or review - what's in the book? Your poemes?

I did not know back then, but guess what? I do now. He's much better when he's in a bloodthirsty mood.
In truth I can't remember how this was originally. Did you change much?

The problem wasn't that people graduated, but rather that the fun people left. You know, the ones who'd comment and talk and (occasionally) troll. All poemeranker got left with was an incessant queue of MOAR POETRYS being posted with very few users bothering to engage with each other. Once there was a community, now there is a ghost town.

My last post only notched up a measly 7 comments and half of them were probably mine. And as the whole point of poemeranker is to achieve the highest comment average in the entire universe I think posting again is a vain endeavour.

Then either it's not a very good poem, or we're not very good readers.

I like bits of this - some of the first stanza, and the last two lines in particular. 'Fall' would work better than 'fail' for me. I don't think the overtly Biblical imagery does it any favours though. I was thinking more along the lines of an old Gordon Lightfoot song - 'Spanish Moss'.
