drnick on Prologue by Dovina 23 Oct 2006, 2:58 PM
Hahaha, nice.
Unsubtle to say the least.
drnick on Danger Zone by Miggy 23 Oct 2006, 2:51 PM
Inspiring with its complexity.
This is a suicide note, right?
Ranger on The parameters of speech. by leon lyman 24 Oct 2006, 3:44 AM
Excellent. Might want a comma between letter and fencing in line 2.
The pope is an evil old man and is probably satan-spawn. So mocking him is good in my book!
howl on some deleted poem 24 Oct 2006, 8:06 AM
I understand this is a meditation on how money can buy things that take up more room than the money itself. The language is a bit prosaic. That is my only criticism.
nypoet22 on Epilogue by MacFrantic 22 Oct 2006, 9:09 PM
interesting. i'm not sure this stands on its own, but the end of a series... sure, why not.
nypoet22 on Tidal by helenwales 22 Oct 2006, 9:18 PM
not strictly haiku, but an interesting series of images nonetheless. the majority of these verses are closer to senryu (5-7-5 syllabic verse about people) than haiku (5-7-5 syllabic verse about nature). if these all really constitute one overall poem however, i would try to make your theme clearer, because i'm not seeing connection between the montage of images.

i'd be curious to hear this performed by actors. is it a prologue to something, or to all poetry in general?
Sing4Jesus! on MRS Degree by Miggy 23 Oct 2006, 2:59 AM
What is an MRS degree? I think we should be told.
Ranger on Tennesee Waterfall by razorgrin 23 Oct 2006, 8:33 AM
I've heard it called a Kentucky Falls before; you guys must have some weird water features.
Ranger on The Day Habeas Corpus Died by Wakeboarder20 23 Oct 2006, 8:37 AM
Neat idea
I wish you would enter discussion on whether these Jesus poems are satire or if you really like this stuff. If you mean it, then you've progressed about an inch backward from the Crusades.
Dovina on Canada by PodPoet 23 Oct 2006, 5:35 PM
You may not be from Canada, but I've been to most of these places, and it sounds like you have too. What I miss is some application, something beyond rhyme and reninisce. The last line especially needs something more specific than "all" and "awe."

It could be the end of a great collective work, of which mine is the Prologue, and the middle is all of Poemranker.
half.italian on Slur by MacFrantic 24 Oct 2006, 12:41 AM
I like it. It reads well. The one thing I would do: change 'devastation' to 'devastated' or something else entirely.
Ranger on Golden Times by cpill 24 Oct 2006, 3:43 AM
It is an unbreakable and universal law of poetry that you must always rhyme 'pie-man' with 'Simon', if you are to rhyme 'pie-man' at all.
Ranger on Take that thing off your head by lukehanney 23 Oct 2006, 4:13 PM
I do believe that this is about Jade Goody's wedding day...
Very amusing. I assume you are a Zionist. Jesus was killed by you lot.
