works well as graffiti. Enigmatic in any given context

Like this poem, not much to grab onto in the way of context but nice images and no obvious holes in it
on Summer Rain by DJCARTER 19 Jul 2003, 6:02 AM
like the structure in the first three lines leading to the mind rhyme.

A lot of this is too self absorbed though, I am not drawn into it

Nice build up, and I did understand it perfectly. The unmasking reminds me of grease 2 but what was the context of the unmasking?
on Bloody Night by Ted Bundy 20 Jul 2003, 11:55 AM
just seems like a list of fucked up things to do

maybe needs tightening to give the words their full power.
on hermetic by Bill Z Bub 21 Jul 2003, 6:35 AM
a bit odd, the first verse build up is well but it seems to move too fast to the end.

still original use of language sets it apart

I think you are trying too hard to rhyme. You need to be more graphic and more specific in terms you use. We know what humans do to other animals but point out hypocrisies, use metaphor etc

a thought too late and too soon ?
on I've lost my poetic edge by thepinkbunnyofdoom 20 Jul 2003, 12:08 PM
I have no creative thoughts at the moment so I shall write a poem about it!

unless this is a creative thought

anyway a bit too smart/postmodern/ for me
on some deleted poem 19 Jul 2003, 6:08 AM
If you are rewriting I suggest you get it clear what this is about some of the verses seem not to hang together.


'Splatter, the sound resounding
Painfully, into the ear'

I would keep a good rhyme

Tearing away at my heart
Skin by skin, I am the onion

is good too kind of wreckless and emotionally raw.

Needs more of a place I think. What are these greens turning brown etc

some good parts, notworthy
on Death Wish by Kitch 19 Jul 2003, 6:10 AM
a little bit distant for a suicide poem, also you probably shouldn't rhyme so loudly on such a serious issue
on rainday by Bill Z Bub 17 Jul 2003, 10:26 AM
I quite like all the daft words you use. It could almost be a nonsense poem or a surreal poem. Bloombrellas is my favourite
on Border towns & the runs by horus8 17 Jul 2003, 10:28 AM
like hostile as a car bomb and the use of line breaks (prostitutes that pull/)

fourth verse is like an eminem lyric, funny
on Pretzel by daryash-koh 17 Jul 2003, 10:38 AM
needs a bit of insight/ something new to say to compliment the imagery. Like the pretzel bit though nice to have a joke that becomes obvious when it is told
on beyond sences by calilegzzz 17 Jul 2003, 10:05 AM
pardon, where are you anyway

on Aluminum Xena - Prima Ballerina by SupremeDreamer 17 Jul 2003, 10:23 AM
sweet images in the first verse well fitted together.

not sure about the direction it took in the second verse. But I like poems that introduce themselves before later revealing the plot
on Next Century by Birdpia 17 Jul 2003, 10:31 AM
who will write a love poem like this in the next century. A few million I would have thought!

Some good points through I like the abrupt end to the first verse and second
on Train Suicide by snjofridur1 17 Jul 2003, 10:35 AM
a thought is never heard? how do you access your own thoughts then? Does it become apparent only when you open your mouth?

I do like the flow of this the last line spoils it though, a bit too pretentious
on Federales by Bachus 17 Jul 2003, 9:49 AM
like it, especially the first verse. I get searched less than I used to after I shaved my adolescent moustache.

set off an alarm today though, commandeered by some george michael alike security guard (must have been in it for the uniform) I had to laugh
on some deleted poem 15 Jul 2003, 8:43 AM
right I am never nasty to anyone but you are one of the highest rated on this site and you start this poem:
Do you need a guy you can rely on
or just a shoulder to cry on?

its like everything I work for is meaningless and good poetry is all about assinine rhymes (irony) and dull cliches

I'm not ranking this, I just don't understand
