cad, this is heart-felt, but strictly speaking in terms of poetic devices employed, it needs a once-over. you are forcing the rhyme, to the detriment of the message. consider fewer pronouns. consider making the voice more active. a sample transformation:

In my void I was fulfilled,
I'd nothing pure to give
a skilled liar, choosing to lure the pure,
to make them feel secure,
and promise everything
Then slam the door.

okay, that's not much trimming, but it gives the words more violence. which they need, based on the intent. passive voice doen't work here.

nice rhythm. well done.
on Karma by http://mulberryfairy 4 Aug 2003, 10:16 AM
nice. especially like, "like a recent victim
on a Lifetime movie. " (but i'd delete 'recent')
sorry dq, this leaves me flat. maybe i'm in a mood this morning, but it's coming across as imitative and banal. the bar just got heavier.
on Sex on bugs by LuckyJoe 4 Aug 2003, 8:13 AM
luckyjoe-
this is poorly written, and entertaining in a pre-teen, wow SEX! kind of way. you give everything away; you give nothing away, and you do it without skill. i suspect you plan on beoming a teacher, since you gave us a list of reading-comprhension questions at the end.

insteadof being impressed by your misguided sense of your own cleverness, may i humbly suggest you study the english language?

that is all.

have i been particularly pestilential towards you of late? i had not noticed. i guess maybe i should sit a few rows back on the bus. maybe that would help? or maybe not buy exactly the same groceries as you? nor wear my hair like that?

no, sorry, i could not go on if i left you alone. the restraining order was on pink paper this time. its flaccid hue makes a lovely bright spot in my collection.

had you left your moniker as -=Dark__Angel=-, i would have noted it! and i'm pretty damn sure there were only a handful you didn't fool on that one. nice work, there.
