I don't understand this at all, especially the ending and the title. The flow is smooth, the descriptions decent, but the content has passed me by.

hilarious. some of them are definitely weaker than others (#2, #4, #5). But, you know, just hilarious. :)

er. divits -> divots. sorry. :)

divits -> divets
through out -> throughout

I like the idea, less so the execution. With four lines, the second is awkward and the fourth is just a tongue twister.

If poemranker had a 'favorites', I'd add this to mine. (hint to self)

"calling you out to see you" seems awkward flow. I like the overall rhythm that I'm reading this in.

This is truly beautiful. Perhaps a topic over-explored, with not much in content to step it above the rest, but the melody is sweet and haunting. :)

boring?

The subject matter is so, so, so done. And yet, I love the twisting of your language, and you do so much with the imagery. I hate you. :)

"sorrows pebbles" versus "sorrow pebbles" or "sorrow's pebbles" did confuse me, though.

Hmm. On that note, maybe I really should attempt to integrate a spellcheck on the preview pane. Doh re: manna. I knew that, really. But. La. :)

third coffee poem today!? It's my first coffee in a week. :) And I think my second poem about hot liquids sold over the counter. But. Cool beans, and thanks. :)

I shared this comment with all my co-workers. I think you made my day, even with the 7. :)

Thanks. :)
Odd. The conversation makes a bit more sense of it. But odd. I think I want more about the elderly couple, their interaction with her (if they were there with her, or if they just were all sitting at the same table). How old is she?

Hmm.

Beakariffic. :)

but the rest of them do?

it's trying to force the examination of breakbeat time vs. breakbeat time travel vs. time travel. ish.

Goal? I'm supposed to have a goal?

No, I suppose funny wasn't the goal. The goal was to write something, anything, no matter how crappy it was, because my mind was for some reason unable to function around two cups of coffee. A very odd experience.

cute, very cute. :)

I do seem to like that word, though. Certainly not the first poem I've overused it.
replying on BreakBeat TimeTravel by nentwined 7 Jan 2004, 8:47 AM
here goes nothing. ;) That lets me fix the title and one spot where I had a double space for no reason other than twitchy fingers.

yeah, the last line sucks. I couldn't figure out how to end it. Any suggestion? Or just fine without the last line and nothing else?
