have you been dipping into the Ginsberg too? Now that I've had the time to think on this a little. It made me think (religion, of course) but also about our armed forces in Iraq. Headline influences, perhaps.

Sticky schtick.

I'm still taking it in......

Other countries wallow in their own pee because they have no "indoor plumbing". Still others, who have "proper receptacles", bathe in pee for entertainment purposes. No irony there, ha!

Laughable

The use of tense in this limerick leads me to believe that grandfather died halfway through!

Rings well - the punctuation could be cleaned up a bit though (please).

a very nice ditty, and not a bit shitty.

Love the title lots. The litany of basic color names didn't quite work for me though. If it wasn't fairly similar in structure to something I just wrote, I might like it more (I've been in a "sky" phase).

nice start - kill the first comma and put it after vineyard then kill one after past. kill the first "And" And the second one. Maybe trade the third and last for a "So". A nice little tale.

I dont think people see your full potenshall? I think this is good 9/10

slightly sadomassochistic not too shabby... I was jeez not another child of nature then I was like yay when I read it... kind of made me laugh

wow this is an oldie... well compared to how I feel now and that I understand what it is... it's just a deep appreciation.

I like the way you put that feeling to words.

Yesa, they do have fear, ...

You colossal fucking retard. Do you think poetry is some kind of competition to see who can write the most cryptic-sounding nonsense? Poetry is not supposed to sound like Nirvana lyrics. You clearly think that the poeme has a beautiful, revolutionary message deep inside it, and that it is made all the more beautiful because you really have to work and study your unconventional use of language to understand what you meant. You plainly don't even know what the lines in this piece are supposed to mean, just a vague sense that they're beautiful and express the dark abyss of beautiful hatred that is your life. You assjacket. You are between the ages of 13 and 17. You listen to "alternative rock" or "nu metal". You once applied 3 joules to your arm with a safety razor and then told people "sometimes I cut myself" and showed them the "scar". You have a selection of candles and jossticks in your room. They have scents like "waking dreams" and "opium utopia". You once smelled some cannabis smoke, but you never smoked any yourself, or you would be writing about your tedious drug adventures instead. You think you are special and misunderstood, and that one day you'll find someone who understands the dark beauty of the soul like you do. You're a talentless nobody with a corncob for a face.
