Don't double space. We're not that kind of grading.

If I were, say, High Emperor of Poetry, I'd make a law forbidding the use of 'as' for linking clauses.

Femininity. Three 'i's. Otherwise, not bad.

I just saw Pain and, man, he's shaking in his boots.

"Sex and the city is this feminism?"
A TV show can't be feminism. Even liking or disliking it can't be feminism.

If you're drunk and horny, dying looks alright, I guess.

The people who needed to know this already think you're nuts, on account of your hair and hanging around all day on a pastel-blue poetry site.

Frey is a disgraced memoirist. You mean fray.

It's generally not a good idea to give your poem the same name as a movie, good or bad, similar or not. Also, loose should be lose.

After my little sister attempted suicide, a counselor told her it was all my brothers' and my fault. Now she lives with my mom and collects Middle America postcards with nothing written on them. I can't tell her anything, so I just send postcards.

on Beard my Homemade Negro Jesus (Improved! With AIDS!) by Everyone
19 Jan 2006, 7:57 PM
I bearded that Christ with a wipe
Of the HIV-positive type,
But the wipe, it made raids
On his bum (being AIDS
With a passion for Negro-Christ pipe.)
So I bearded him once with a nappy
To cover his breasts (they were flappy.)
At least he looked cleaner,
But as for demeanor
We still couldn't tell if he was happy.

So I bearded Black Jesus with spasm-
-like ways of saying Yassuh and Yas'm.
Though you might think it cruel,
Why, I'll tell you, though, you'll
Hardly know, my good man, that he has 'em!
