Good God Lydia, I know you lean towards the right, but giving this -10- is taking things a little far!

make your topography mine? Is that from the geographer's book of seduction.

why are you so obnoxious holdstill?

and why do you give high marks to the least adept poems?

'the faces noeone sees' nope - you see them for a start and I am assuming the situation is public view so so do a lot of other people.

on forgetful dyke by elizabethann 17 Apr 2004, 11:04 AM
It is OK, relating of a fairly meaningless but nevertheless charming story. By the way unless your mum is a soul reever I very much doubt she 'brought you to life'.
Well written, has a nice feel. I am left a little confused by the ending. You go from language as fire to language as soft stanzas to language as the wind.

Quite good really, the language could be more punchy, but that is my only criticism.
on Ballad for a bad Irish accent by zodiac 13 Apr 2004, 7:06 AM
very good, agree with shuushin about s3 though.

5 syllables - 7 syllables - 5 syllables.

You don't have to stick to such a structure but the fact you did the numbers with words suggests a misconception.

The idea is ok but would be better as a throw away line not an entire poem.

The capitalisation is odd.

The pace is what you seem to be going for, but it does seem a bit cobbled together.
nice, but metaphors are supposed to track and flames burning out do not leave poison behind.

I thought you were religious. It is hell dear boy, hell!
on Leaves, hope and dreams by aliena 1 Apr 2004, 9:56 AM
The title reminds me of that panda gangsta book - eats shoots and leaves.

what is true?
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.
on Astronomical by DeadtotheWorld 1 Apr 2004, 8:38 AM
Could do with being shortened, would help to manage the rhythm.
on Mariana by wilco 1 Apr 2004, 8:20 AM
Some of the similes and metaphors, because they are not extended through the poeme, can be confusing.

Some interesting ones though.
on hands by New Life Drug 1 Apr 2004, 8:14 AM
The repetition is a bit odd.

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

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.
