very good
The sentiment matches the sound of the poem well,
flows like a lucid confession
on Lovers Game by scitz 25 Apr 2003, 11:43 AM
This is awful hard work to read

Some nice images, some surreal images plenty of creative energy
on Fighting erosion by INTRANSIT 23 Apr 2003, 10:20 AM
good rhyming
I think this is key to this kind of writing

I don't quite get its meaning,
still i don't care much for meaning
words are only an analog
this could mean a million things
all good
on For my wife by INTRANSIT 22 Apr 2003, 10:55 AM
Lead in with gentle cliches
then bang ' a placid pool' really makes this short poem
on Truth in Lies by BleedingRose 22 Apr 2003, 10:49 AM
not sure i'm convinced, but quite clever nevertheless
on Blackbird & the Everlasting Dream by Ranger 19 Apr 2003, 10:07 AM
Yes I like the rhythm and the sudden stops in it
Quite creative
on visual erotic by princesszoe 16 Apr 2003, 11:46 AM
nice original use of language
but at times a bit distant
on Lost and found by INTRANSIT 16 Apr 2003, 11:43 AM
Cute, short and too the point
I'll give you a 7 but its nearing an eight

I guess poemranker must be a bit congested as im the first to rank this
on Februarys mother by INTRANSIT 11 Apr 2003, 10:38 AM
Nice, cant pick any faults
Maybe a bit short

I think a killer line might make this poem,
I hope you find one

vilanelles are difficult to master
this flows well
No mean feat
replying on Down Lovers Lane by Mr Pig 9 Apr 2003, 12:17 PM
po-etand knowit dandelions are not out of place on a 'lane' and dandelion fairies are the seeds we used to blow when we were younger with laughter .....
Do you remember laughter

dark angel

i know turn to rust refers to the moon turning rust coloured but why would it do that
had it gorged on its own cheese?

Anyway these were two very small points in the poem anyway

on Fraternity hazing the sheepdog by horus8 8 Apr 2003, 11:26 AM
like the lamb stood dead line
perversely fun imagery excellent
on Down Lovers Lane by Mr Pig 8 Apr 2003, 11:22 AM
good wordplay as ever
great flow
A few cliches near the end 'tangerine skies'
and 'moon turns to rust' doesn't seem to mean anything.
I dont think the poem would lose much if you binned them.

As for dandelion fairies, a perfectly fair description.
