not entirely unpornographic though

haiku like in brevity, nice
on Crowning Achievement by MrsGretchen 7 Jul 2003, 11:04 AM
you shouldn't veer from your rhyme schem as in verse 4 it is off putting.

quite vague really and not anchored to anything

the first verse sets the intention well and I like the half-rhyme years and scars though

makes perfect sense to me

pretty good, think you might be condemning yourself with your own pen though

should watch out for that

'the dead are unborn' well summed up

lots of things to make you think here
bipolar disorder tends to work in cycles. If someone changes moods so quickly as that I suggest it is the cocaine not the bipolar.

Nice though. Westerners are so precious with their illnesses
'we must learn to love one another AND die'

and

'i will not go down under the ground/cos somebody tells me that deaths comin round'

just a couple of quotes with reference to this transcription
one of the best 'winge about settle' poems. There should be an award

Last two lines are ok. Evokes thoughts of drowning

nothing he feels/ addict to a needle? what about withdrawal

like the hyena analogy

irreverent, funny role reversal

do you mean L-DOPA in the title?
the drug given to people with parkinsons that made them all schizophrenic

reads well.

heavily influenced by biblical imagery I think

painful in nature/ubiquitous in effect is a nice play on words

nice simple words to build a picture, not too tied to loaded terms
on Mirror to Mirror by Roisin 3 Jul 2003, 9:45 AM
reads well
the title mirror mirror is a bit overused

good ending structure, perhaps the words a bit cliched

other than that good, I like your use of modern language
on Fall Of The Heartlands by Mr Pig 4 Jul 2003, 8:24 AM
fine selection of language, the traditional with the new

the final line is good about the sword through the ventricles of a heartland. Streams as veins. I think the pneumatic part is mixing metaphors though.

this is definitely one of your best
on Misgivings by Topaz Servias 4 Jul 2003, 8:19 AM
this needs a bit more of you in it, the lack of originality detracts from the feeling you want to get across.

what I do like about this is the rhythm and sonority, even though you don't appear to be explicitly rhyming your words.

fast running
perhaps needs a little shortening

get rid of the prose/ predictable stuff
on Its Blue by aurora 3 Jul 2003, 9:33 AM
a tad meaningless

nice poetic style though
the tone of the poem seemed so benign as well. I didn't get it until the end

clever

I know you can't explain the trapped feeling. But please try

this poem doesn't seem to speak. It is just a few sentences strung together
