This is good. I like the stop-start beat but it could be altered here and there.

some good measure of a pain makes out poetry to be good...how love can become the same hate..is the fault that of poetry, when all there is to poetry is poetry, to therefore demand answers from poetry and not life is like Ares muscle up humnaity to safe life only for the animal reign of destruction to in the end be... a good play of dialectics, though headside down and legside up of Hegels not Marx correction ... gooder than good

"I am willing to try", if only all others can in the same spirit uphold...then we can bring Heaven down to Mother earth... abeg thematically tight... who can then care for "cliches" and "metaphors"...

Here too as in the other hemisphere/ are metal jungles is close to working. I have a couple of problems: (i) the other hemisphere-- I tend to view jungles as being in the tropics rather than part of a given hemisphere (ii)metal jungles [too]-- are you comparing two metal jungles. If you are it is difficult to ascertain which particular places you are comparing.

Sounds like something the wretched Dovina would write. It is all tell and not show.
MacFrantic on soft candy by skaskowski 25 Dec 2006, 10:49 AM
I loved this before and it's still good revised.

It does seem like a prank.
Dovina on "incomplete" by Prince of Void 28 Dec 2006, 3:04 PM
Made with a void - how sad. But how comforting when a void is filled. The shape of a void is the reverse of the thing that fits there.
Dovina on Moving On by MacFrantic 28 Dec 2006, 3:07 PM
The rhythm and rhyme are so good that the lapses glare.
Prince of Void on Cloche. by howl 31 Dec 2006, 8:48 AM

Prince of Void on Fanatic by Dovina 31 Dec 2006, 9:04 AM
he shoud know he's running out of time open up, surrender to the plot when a cold wind blew on this day we looked the other way tomorrow we might find the answers lay in riverbeds and dust we believed sth beyond the beauty and order our great city of vision lost in this beautiful choas
Dovina on My Heart by unouluvme 1 Jan 2007, 11:56 AM
The title seems distant from the subject, makes me wonder who or what is buried.
Dovina on some deleted poem 1 Jan 2007, 11:57 AM
Too much vague telling here. I'm just not with it.
Dovina on Happy birthday to myself by Prince of Void 1 Jan 2007, 12:16 PM
So many grammar glitches here, I have to wonder if the few correct phrases are mistakes in a dialect of hopelessness.
Ranger on Happy birthday to myself by Prince of Void 2 Jan 2007, 1:17 AM
Happy birthday indeed

Dovina's got a point about the vagueness, I'm afraid. Slender moments failing? How do moments fail? Mortality's dust falling is quite a good idea in a post-apocalyptic way. You could turn this into a pseudo-biblical style piece to accommodate the language (epoch, eon, halcyon etc.) as it seems a little OTT as it is. As an aside, Redhill isn't a million miles from my home, although I can't remember having ever been there.
Ranger on Russian absinthe by AlexandraLeaving 2 Jan 2007, 1:26 AM
I quite like this and I don't know why.
Ranger on Fanatic by Dovina 2 Jan 2007, 1:31 AM
Love the last stanza and like the idea within 'greenly', although I hate the word itself. 'Factuality' really doesn't sit well as a line end, 'fact' would do just as well for me. Too many uses of 'he'; maybe you're trying to show his idealistic egocentrism, but it sits awkwardly with me. Still effective though. Happy New Year :-)
