I like this idea, but you do not convince me.

I have posted a poem. Would you be so kind as to profer an opinion?

1 finger, there's a lot of potent emotion here. weed out the typos. read it aloud, and smooth the rhythm. you want your lover back? make these words your surrogate until then. it's worth it, as you well know.

Knowing they were RIGHT, for god and country?
And large-breasted american women? And piss beer?

Have a 9 for creative knotting.

What happens next? Excellent start; could use more detail. What details you have are presentes beautifully, so I hunger for more.

Angry young man meets question mark? Watch those apostrophes. They don't play nice when you cut and paste. Please fix. Namaste.

I like the "silent insult"; I think 'spurn' needs to be in this piece as well, for the sound, if nothing else. It seems to me as though you need it's bitterness and Mars-like gutturalness, to echo the inner burn.

Your syntax is awkward: his dog lay in breath? No.

Permit me:

He had smithed the words;
his anvilled pen spilled coins of thought
that piled like riches at his feet.
His dog lay at his feet, content;
its deep, regular breaths bespoke no other need.

The sun set and rose, rose and set
as he shortened the sentences of people
whose decades fell like minutes,
mindless of his own.

All things became music
whose notes he alone could hear:
folly and love played melodies
he kept to the rhythm of his heart.

Death soon lost its thrall:
no more the dreaded machine, advancing, merciless.
A sweetened darkness, empty,
honest as the dog sleeping at his feet
urged him on toward eternity.

Well! Hyde and cried! Now that's a superlative rhyme.

Naught.

Why don't you say something I can take with me? I have read your oeuvre, and find the bulk of your manuscript seems to have fallen out through your thread-bare pockets.

Delightful.
Scourge.

No difference at all. Either will do, in a pinch.

Because you are an armadillo?

Fail. Safe. Both.

Indeed. He did not take all of it, I see. But it sounds as though you did. <sigh> Have a seven; it seems you might be used to something around that size.

It seems as though you need to get religion.
