on Spread Deep in Fresh Meat by abecedarian 14 Oct 2003, 7:14 AM
first verse could do with being a bit sharper.

Other than that yes, seems to say something, what will be will be
on Primal Reality by peaceseeker 7 Oct 2003, 12:25 PM
the individual verse don't seem to hang together very well.

like the little rhymes running through the first verse, and flocks and hops
OK mainly flows I think, and some nice material

bit too slow though for the repetition to kick in

gay is too easy a rhyme, and is far more loaded to meaning homosexual, which would mean your feathered foe was singing something like Y.M.C.A.

all the deepest's protest too much of your feelings.

and tears drip from the depth? upwards?.

But there does seem to be a poem here, a skeleton of feeling
on Orchidess by abecedarian 7 Oct 2003, 5:35 AM
overall a good complete poem.

I don't think you need the lines 'gametic knife' or 'allure abounds'.

Such phrases are already inferred I think.

This poem has a certain frisson without.

I think a pimple should be unsubtle, but still express some kind of emotion.

Flow is good, kind of like conversation

If you are a stranger making lewd comments about a young katie, then you are disgusting.

If she is your sister or something, I guess it is OK

trying to get a feeling of physical distance with the last line.
on Drunken Night by Ataryu 5 Oct 2003, 1:10 PM
'Now I die' seems hyperbolic and a lot of the rhymes seem forced 'knee/me, swim dim'

Still fast flowing and not too painful
on Blissful the Fungae Forest by peaceseeker 5 Oct 2003, 1:05 PM
the rhythm breaks down a bit at 'through the mountain valley blissful the fungae forest meaty mushrooms'

overall it flows pretty well though

like the leafs fall at the beginning, could do with compacting though

well carried, nice rhythm, a little prosaic.

And crickets never sing
through all four seasons

was my favourite phrase
on Bar Tale 2.0 by jessicazee 5 Oct 2003, 12:45 PM
white and irish - cant be a gangster then.

It isn't really much of a poem, but it is a well structured story (providing it is going anywhere)

not sure about the rhyme at the end of each verse, too many words seem to interfere in between, such as whom and you.

overall pleasant,

the moral of the story?

I guess that you should not have given away the suit.

If you have no use for a suit ther is precious little point in keeping it even if it does fit well.

That electric chair is damn comfy.

The poem I found flowed well but seemed a little odd.
Stop writing about
dark angels trite love life

great clarity, you are obviously a man who has no trouble grappling with your immense intellect.
on Perversions 8: The Reckoning by razorgrin 30 Sep 2003, 7:27 AM
the last one, I seem to forget what you were supposed to rhyme the last line with.

Other than that good rhythm, and in the spirit of a limerick
on Love doggerel by thavimatola 29 Sep 2003, 1:34 PM
Like it, especially the refreshing rhymes in the first verse
on Wasted Words by ho_hum 26 Sep 2003, 2:25 PM
the last line I think is wasted, as it has been explained in the rest of the poem.

the breasts into an undersized bra, unwilling?
anthropomorphism?
