nice jop. I like this.

it should be "you're" a contraction for "you are" not "your" which is a possessive pronoun.
after that, try some more substance, more specific details, images, etc.
click on "best" at the top and read through those. you can learn a lot here.

I was. thanks for spoiling it. the ambiguity has ruined the excitement. one word for you:
STOLID. look it up.

Excellent response.

weak. it is screaming "teenager" and is so full of extra words and so lacking in images, freshness, or poetry.

I agree. don't forget to soak yourself in chum.

It reminds me of an eminem song, only without the line breaks.

boy oh boy you are firing these off today! nice one.
on The rock star and the ATM by Shardik 11 Jun 2003, 3:56 PM
3rd line's a bit lacking. you had the opportunity for some punch, but you slightly missed it (not to mention syllables)
on Im Sorry by LosT SykoPath 11 Jun 2003, 3:55 PM
The line that captivated me was "with you, you dont know jack". It's just so pure.
on Dream Girl by LosT SykoPath 11 Jun 2003, 3:54 PM
Rather weak and stolid.

what is "unbareab"?
cliche:"like a gunshot"

A lovely poem about a middle aged man with scissors. is it modeled after Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird?

your wit made me laugh. out loud. honestly.
on Daddy's Girl by LosT SykoPath 11 Jun 2003, 3:49 PM
A nice father's day poem. however, not a haiku. you have about 195 too many syllables.

I mean get rid of it--change it. strive for freshness in language. I apologize for my ambiguity.

I don't get the title.

Yu should almost never use the word "just". it is seldom necessary and it musddies up meaning bu softening the impact of your verb. perhaps "to" would be an apt replacement.
