on All A Mistake by Alyssa91 21 May 2003, 10:42 AM
an odd mix of trite and confusion. the cancer donation has me wondering.
on Dr. Dr. by psikosis 21 May 2003, 10:39 AM
darwinism. suicide is so close to murder, they are like kentucky cousins. I recommend against eaither.
on Over Wait by flatliner 21 May 2003, 10:34 AM
"too easy to drift". true. it's too hard to pay attention when something doesn't say anything at all, rambling ambiguity rambilng redundantly in nothingness but repetition. Yeehaa maw. chicken feet.
on Paranoia by lastobelus 14 Mar 2003, 9:22 AM
reminded me of some of the DaDa poetry--I like the egg in the hair reference. You've captured paranoia here.
on van Gogh's Irises by lastobelus 14 Mar 2003, 9:19 AM
2nd line (in parentheses) is redundant with the title.
also, I suggest cutting "Some kind of" to strengthen the image of forgotten flags--and then ask yourself if the last two lines are truly needed for the meaning of the poem...
a valiant effort...you have a good grasp on imagery and "fresh" language.
on Lately by lastobelus 14 Mar 2003, 9:16 AM
I believe that you could tie in the crumbling of crackers with the sand sifting.... just a thought. Other than that, I would suggest that you tighten tha language a little bit...Powerful images and overall well done. 8
on No more tears, or trail by Bachus 7 Mar 2003, 10:16 AM
not as good as it could be. this format may be too limiting to what you are trying to say.
on The unlucky Janitor haikus by Bachus 7 Mar 2003, 10:15 AM
different.
this really dosn't say anything.
on Love spank by Shardik 7 Mar 2003, 10:13 AM
know? you mean "no", i am certain.
on who? by Crakyamuni 7 Mar 2003, 10:12 AM
hrmmmm... syllables, OK... content - iffy, not very funny, really kind of mediocre.
on Loud Taps by celiff 7 Mar 2003, 7:52 AM
how kindergarten like. I bet kids would love this--nice rhythm and simplicity... bad title, though.
on Dolly was a damn fine lamb by <{Baba^Yaga}> 7 Mar 2003, 7:51 AM
I think she looks good for her age.
(actuially i like this poem)
on Aries, the God of war by Shardik 7 Mar 2003, 7:50 AM
Hoving?

No entry found for hoving.

4 suggestions found:

loving

moving

roving

homing

shoving?

you've masked the meaning too much, i think.
on The Stand... an off rip by horus8 7 Mar 2003, 7:46 AM
much shorter than the original book. They could've saved a lot of paper.
I didn't read it--but it is not a haiku.
on Resurrection (for Gods Wife) by Mr Pig 7 Mar 2003, 7:45 AM

I see a pattern here - thematically and form wise.
I'm also curious as to how so many of yours keep coming up--it would explain how your numbers got so high.
on Grampa's Proverb by OneFingerAnswer 7 Mar 2003, 7:41 AM
"a" rather than "his" perhaps?
on The Dark one's 2000th comment by <{Baba^Yaga}> 7 Mar 2003, 7:40 AM
I'm confused. thank you. confusion can be good sometimes.
on Blustered by INTRANSIT 7 Mar 2003, 7:39 AM
something besides "it" please. The pronoun makes the whole poem inprecise and less poetic.
