The title of the film should be in quotations not apostrophes. That is unless you put quotations around what the character on the answering machine is saying, which would be proper and justify what your are doing at that point. Is "Weneverlaughedsohard" (note proper use) a word. I looked it up and it was not in the dictionary.

To further clarify: Sturgis is actually a quaint town on the northern fringe of the Black Hills in South Dakota. Do you need to know where South Dakota is?

Still the best poem on the site. I would kill the all cap thing, but damn, who cares, this is just good. Had to come read it again.

You are the one true king of the Masonic order of odd balls.

The flip flopping of voice and context is awkward. There a a few nice lines, but there is still work to be done here.

You reached really deep into the crap bin for this one, huh?

A nice concept but I think the overall effort need more thought.

Best biking movie ever made, although if you notice when he it topping 50 plus MPH behind the semi he is in his small chain ring. But, hey, it is a movie. It is sad you titled such a bad poem for such a great sports movie. Shame on you.

Great use of the "statement". Fantastic use of telling rather than showing. Great use of "Party" three times in less than 40 lines, dude.

I have been meaning to ask you since your lovely debate with the Iowa fellow: Which Hawking kid are you?

The girls actually gave me that word. They said it. The money was for church programs that promoted....well. I wanted to put it in the first draft but did not know how. I told Z, she said it should go in and I struggled for a week to get it in there. I had it all over the place. I don't think it is sexual in the poem; it simply gives a bit more depth to what the girls are doing. In the physical world selling the wind chimes has to be for something. That would be there innocence, I guess. I think it relates to the narrarator and what he has ultimately turned away. His transition. It is weird, but the further a death moves into the past the more convoluted the images become when personalized. I can still put images of the physical event into a clear picture, but my grief is wrapped up in all sorts of mixed metaphors. Thanks for the read. I did not change the first line. But I changes the second!!

Decent read until "Satan pooh-poohed". I wasn't sure what the intended purpose was there: so I just laughed. Sorry.

Interesting spelling and use of grammar.
