Why do you have the = signs and the _ sign in your name? And what is the "PI" for?
I liked this one. Some of your stuff is very clever. Some is not. Like the curate's egg.
Truly an original subject and entertaining at that. I'll give it a ten for saying troopies, if for nothing else.
Ha! "Flows" perfectly. A wonderful statement. Especially liked the last three lines. Kudos.

I don't know the source of this one. And i don't like the exclamation mark at the end. It's unnecessary.

This poeme is disappointing in comparison to the title, which is genius.
Try to imagine not shitting. Does a contradiction arise from this proposition? You are a colossal boob.
Were I but ten years younger, I'd have scalded this piece beyond all reckoning. Alas my obstinate buttocks have outgrown their jodhpurs, and whilst they clung loyally to their master's haunches for a time, it was with an act of tearful necessity that I disembarked from their fleshy embrace and watched them flee like dwarves into the cold dark night.
Well Sara, You better hope you don't live in Vegas, New York, or Miami because CSI will find the truth. They don't fuck around.
Finally; direction.

This is very good indeed. Eric would be very proud of you were he sufficiently with us.
Bucharest is not as exciting as Newcastle of course.
I'm afraid to give a low score because it may bruise your emotions, but then again...
No, no, no. Bad Stephen Robins. It sounds too much like suburbian hip-hop (otherwise known as shit).
In such a short piece it's usually a good idea not to repeat the same word (meaning) if possible - it gives the impression of a lack of imagination (which you clearly don't lack, if these poems are anything to go by).
I'd change 'meaninglessness' (a bit unpoetic?), 'mind's eye' (cliche) and 'where love lies freely, unleashed (doesn't add anything to the poem for me). Liked the first line and 'I stared at the sun to form the blur' a lot :-)
Heh, I spent so much time on mine recently that this made me grin from ear to ear :-D
Good concept - is this following on from your other posts? you seem to have a well-thought story going on throughout. Actually, it seems a bit like an intro to an X-Files style story - I'd like to see how it concludes.
As for the poetics, it feels a little rough-edged to me. I think you've done the drafting, now for the crafting :-)
Good stuff. The ranker's missed you.
Damn you got rythm my brotha.
Very good, but can you do Rap?
