what's with the despair?

I'm not sure the subject could convey to that many people, but I definately like it. Smooth rhythem, and a unique style. Meanings are meaningless, nevertheless inevitable upon second guess.
Dovina on Figid Rrigid by Hostileintent 11 Oct 2006, 7:07 PM
Form aside, (what does it matter?)it's a good observation, but what does "punctual" and "newer" have to do with it?
Dovina on forest morning by fiefofum 11 Oct 2006, 7:11 PM
an unusual and interesting form, not quite working yet.

its a dead poets society rip off - first half setting it up to say something - but really it is doing what it is criticising. I don't know - Sam Mendes attributes meaning to his films, after the fact. Argues that he subconsciously framed Road to Perdition with ideas which happened to coincide with complimentary reviews from overly analytical critics. Don't you love attributing meaning after the fact? style then substance yeah...

slightly melodramatic - bits and pieces really 'work' though. Don't listen to helenwales, she writes for post 2000 Vanilla Ice.

Not bad, why submitting it 3 times? (A gut well shanked by other men!)

Ranger on October by A_Dark_Calm 12 Oct 2006, 1:17 AM
Sweet, very sweet. I'd like to see the rhythm you start with continued all the way through - some of the shorter lines in particular disrupt the way it runs. The end of stanza one is to die for ('a day has passed and left me 30/more before she's back at home' works wonders). Perhaps you could trim a few occasions of 'love' here and there - by the time I got to the end, the word had lost a lot of its impact through the repetitions. Still a lovely, lovely read :-)

Intriguing time capsule thoughts. Couple of typos.
