good play with words, needs more though
on Rebel Spirits by miraclemaker 16 Dec 2003, 6:46 AM
good this, my favourite lines being: 'unfortunate in their isolation/of any form of education.' and 'beating immigrants with broken English'

A human life is six feet deep is not very subtle, and water licks the concrete I would associate with the shallow end (certainly not the deep end only).

Other than that very good, especially the flow and line breaks.

Needs a few clues as to what actions were wrong

title: a dead man on being dead or confessions of a dead man.

quite funny, a haiku is supposed to have more depth though preferably with natural imagery.

on Henrietta IV by A. Nomaly 11 Dec 2003, 3:09 PM
Good this, again though the last line should be your power punch and 'adoring them' isn't there. The poem certainly strikes a chord.
on Dolphins Of Dorset by Caducus 11 Dec 2003, 3:04 PM
like the idea dolphins of dorset (there are no dolphins in dorset) it sounds kind of folklore, gives a nice gentle feel.

Like the snappy wisdom (almost beatish) of searching for god, and memory is a friend.

One quibble, the final verse 'my thorns'. Seems detached from the earlier metaphor. Needs to follow through the image of cutting yourself on the thorns.

I love the way you say this poeme took five minutes to write before you even reached the end.

As an end line I suggest this poem should be:

'it only took me 6 minutes to write, 6.02 now, damn 6.10....
.....
.....

Scarcely an image in the entire poem. I want to believe you I do. But its so distant, just words.

Liquid sadness is a little crude a description. A teardrop drowns the world? why rain (the sky weeps) does not drown the word.

I know what you are trying to say but it just doesn't seem to track.

too many poems about seeing yourself in the mirror, no fresh insights here.

This one is fairly lucid though, like the little rhymes.

cute word play, the last five lines of the first verse seem to lose the way though.
on The War On Pedophilia by miraclemaker 4 Dec 2003, 9:27 AM
ok the first half if not a little confusing. The number of images drag the reader about too much. The second part you seem to be writing about yourself for some reason, did you get bored of the paedophilia thing.

'Hmmm I need some inspiration/ want to write a poem/ feeling a bit hungry/ heh hungry for revenge/heh heh heh.'

good rhythm I think. Acid does not ache you though, it burns. In fact acid rain is too weak to do much at all, dissolve gravestones slowly perhaps.
