i'm lost........
But now that I[ve] opened them
I dunno mig - its true that the rhymes are typically simple for a popoular song, but I feel like some of these exist just for the sake of rhyme.
What's this one about?
Sure.
yeah... um.
no.
It does a fair job of managing the cadence, and consistent too.
Interesting languange. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one.
Nice, H. Works real well.
"And little things made me glad."
Its a pretty interesting idea in there, and it evolves well in the first two stanzas. I think the last half of the last bludgeons the point a bit though - _especially_ with it being in first person.
Not feeling this one - leaves me with half my face scrunched up.
Too simplistic; I don't buy it.
The 1/begun rhyme did it in.
"And present a number of social agenda"
despite the possibility that it could be grammatically correct - this should be remade in such a way so that it doesn't raise the question.
Laced with interesting political language but I can't get past that it says, overal, "despite our potential, we suck" - that's what I get out of it anyway.
Maybe this would appeal to a campus audience more (I did like it better than the last one, though).
It kept me reading though I was thinking "too much, too many words" -
This theme of unrequited love/breakups is soooo done - BUT - you put a nice slant into it with some fresh ideas:
"You kissed me in public. You didn't care"
the "wife" angle.
The trick will be to pare it down a bit without losing the sense of realism or honesty - to not make it a cathartic fabrication/built-thing.
And this time, the question in the ending works pretty well. Would have more punch if there was some reference to it earlier on (but not the word music).
I want to give it a nine, but I'm held back by the theme - you could very likely tweak this up to good effect.
Kill him, then yourself.
Like the sound, especially the last four lines. A couple of picks:-
Weakened ears? - Only if they have been exposed to loud music. Weakened in the context (morally weakened) does not really apply well to a physical organ.
Using the word bod in a syllable counted form makes me suspicious it is forced.
it's back!!
The ending sentence works in this one MUCH betterly. After some quick consideration I like that alot.
are you saying feet as a unit of measure along with the clay pots?
I miss this line:
"The warm wind and sun's
precise words,
the dandelion clock"
Number two. Passionately number two. And speaking of number two, I just did.
A deeply compressed tramp egg powered by a Vietnamese spoon trolley
A sonnet. 10.

A sonnet by anybody's guess. And with an old-time ring. So why use the new-time "bod"? Old washed-up poets, like dead things, stinking in a ditch. Very good.
