Like the sound, especially the last four lines. A couple of picks:-

Weakened ears? - Only if they have been exposed to loud music. Weakened in the context (morally weakened) does not really apply well to a physical organ.

Using the word bod in a syllable counted form makes me suspicious it is forced.

'the wind of freedom'? - Presumably a wind that has been let out.

Re-read it, second first verse transition is ok. Would prefer surface of (the) sky though.
on Darkness Falls On Tenement Twelve by Mona Lisa 30 Mar 2004, 6:33 AM
First verse is very good, the rest falls apart a bit due to its reliance on abstractions, it also gets a bit self-absorbed.
I rather like the refrain 'Where o where is my delusion of power/ that eludes me in this comic and dire hour'

Bits about disease spreading seed are a bit old hat.
on A Flower for Monet by Shuushin 30 Mar 2004, 6:42 AM
Very well put together.

Dissociative identity disorder I think. Often associated with those abused as a child.

The homosexual alter ego - probably how freud would have explained DID. Like on most things he would be wrong.
Like how you got from sheep to where's my drink in one easy step.

Blood does not puss, it bleeds. Also I do not think you should be ending a line with 'the', twice!

Nature could create a bird flying free. Only man could create the window.

A bit drawn out the sentiment here, you have five lines to say the bird has free will.

The repetition is a bit odd.

Like 'love with the right amount of personification' and pockets in hands'

Some of the similes and metaphors, because they are not extended through the poeme, can be confusing.

Some interesting ones though.

It reads well of course, but the first line is no good.

'a stay in your mountains' at best it is a crude euphemism.

Could do with being shortened, would help to manage the rhythm.
on Twilight Affair by thepinkbunnyofdoom 1 Apr 2004, 8:48 AM
yes, the bridge line is the best, opera of obscenities is kind of disturbing.

You could always try writing a poeme that did not involve smoking a cigarette.

The title reminds me of that panda gangsta book - eats shoots and leaves.

Dear violetsuede

When you smear my poemes with -4s- and -5s- could you perhaps leave a comment, how else will any of us improve.

P.s. how much do you feel your own poeme to be worth.

I thought you were religious. It is hell dear boy, hell!

I'm not sure surrounding words with -___- emphasises them. Rather it stops the poeme dead, as the reader attempts to figure out what you are doing.

The images need to be tied into something. A central theme or themes. Good though, I can see the horus influence.
