another math wiz. Says something and nothing at the same time, and therefore cancels itself out. Points for formatting; settle for a six.

oddly ... odd.

ahh - its a father talking to his son about a new daughter.

Pleasant - something a mother would love; I like it enough to give it a snowman (cuz its snowing)

"And it's more than my mother ever wanted" is a great line worthy of refrain.

"less power than [she]" please (as in "less power than she had" not "less power than her had")

last line is awkward; consider "... will always be a woman [with choice]."

not too shabby at all - I choose to give it a nine.

I like it - rhyming scheme is subtle yet sophisticated.

I got a little caught up in that though, now I have figure out what the message is...

Well, its on the edge of profundity (either slightly too far, or not far enough - can't decide). A few of the ryhmes and phrasings seemed forced to my ear though.

I'm thinking it could be just *slightly* distilled into something very powerful.

this is very lovely.

yes, I saw this too. pretty cool

would be cool to make a poem like that - are you volunteering?

first brown spot:
"now changing my own reflection forming a reflecting mirror"

and that was the last - I think it works quite well.

Not too shabby, really - I think the ending, last stanza especially, is a tad rushed though (not in its execution; that's awkward, but in it's construction)- but probably fairly easily fixed with a little elbow grease. Have a snowman, a nine awaits your polishing.

Good cutting line -

And I like the universalness of L2.

I think you could do something with the first line though. In a haiku, each word is a precious thing; maybe "The" and "blue" could be tweeked? (Even if you are conveying a sadness with "blue")

sweetly made.

Great use of an unusual word.

I would keep "peep" ("make" is weak). The only suggestion is just me feeling the fun of it - maybe you could do a stanza about fishing; baiting a hook (or not)? Or the road after a rainstorm...

have a ten.

This works (it's because of the duct tape, duct tape will fix anything).

Try another word beside "Eat" (chomp, mau, bite, barf, grab, snag, snarf ... okay, that's all I got.)

Took me a couple reads to appreciate it, but I like it.

My main hesitation was the many prepositional phrases - having said that, I really want the first line to be:
"After this season of ice is over" - see, another prep phrase, but it seems to flow better, imho.

My ear keeps wanting "warm" to be an adverb, rather than a noun - but somehow it works (as is often the case).

And I'd prefer some specific types of tree and wine and weed.

But, after a few reads, the idea of it convinces me - its a good perspective. Good enough to build a snowman out of -8-

what exactly is a custard cream, anyway?

a strong one.

"in the limp light
of a grey March dawning"

rocks.

"I loved her much"

a perfect opportunity to use a word I've been wanting to use all week "overmuch"

Surreal nice.

yes - I predict this will be a big hit, so big in fact, that it will be copied with slight modifications by the Doors, the Animals, and Bob Dylan.
