Dovina - this is somewhat strange.

it really is.

With the vocabulary and the big telling that comes from the big words this quickly becomes a tough sell.

heheh - not bad. Dual question marks are good there.

The repetition helps this, I think - but the theme is so often done that reader sympathy is difficult.

feels more like I'm being boarded by the parrot...

I don't know Zodiac, how?

You and your riddles.

Well, a sonnet.

But the identical rhyme , and wait - well, no rhyme scheme either. Hmm.

The language sounds like you are faking things English, strangely enough.

It is almost good, but somehow it smells crippled - mayhaps on purpose.

Sheepheard is, wrong.

The premise of writing to something one doesn't believe in gives me pause.

Though I did like that "Dear God" song a while back.

really aught to reword that "whom" line, even if it is correct it is awkward in this context, imho.

Not crazy about breathing devoid, either - sorry.

Heheheh - won't ever be Zara Zam. This is one of my old, oft used gaming names.

"still not shaving, unwhiskered" a wonderful, telling line.

Once again you mistake a comment for a poem.

brilliant -- very helpful, thank you.

the use of Ayudame is the best part of this; elevates it.
on SIMPLE by shazpen 26 Jun 2004, 7:20 PM
quite nice - I would have made a few different line break choices, but really - a small thing.

I have to admit I thought the same thing.
on Interrogation #1086637 by MacFrantic 26 Jun 2004, 3:40 PM
2 spelling errors take away from it: consciouseness, akward.

fine otherwise.
on Origins by Doug 26 Jun 2004, 3:37 PM
no spaces bordering the dash - and I like that line alot.

Is this the same as before? Or a similar technique?
on upon driving through rural Washington by david 26 Jun 2004, 3:35 PM
"distant whelm" is very nice.

quite a few nice bits in here as I read it again. I hope I don't seem to ignore those when I say much of it is smothered by one, two and three letter crap words.

Try a version without them for your own viewing, tell me if you don't like it.
