Sounds like the mother of a good son or the memory of a child with a good brother

Very nice feel to this short verse. Picturesque.

Hey, settle down, its all too fast. Delayed gratification. Yes, please, make it last!

I gave up after the first verse. Get specific or get out!

I hate these boring suicide poems!

You used to be better than this. What the hell's gone wrong?

it's got a good skeleton but it's a bit flabby. one verb is worth ten adjectives and adverbs. this is how i read it: "i feel your caresses, blown, sending tingles with rivulets. i awake, intensify, bend, stretch, accommodate. i am peaking, fulfilled. you're rushing. i am satisfied, saturated. your hunger magnifies, breaking pieces, caresses and kisses, lashings and torrents. you are raging, i am subdued, swayings and rustlings, thrashings, anchored. i give. i am.

there's a bit of ambivalence about the topic. if this is not about suicide, it may be more interesting than it initially appears.

a lot of religious images here. is there something more personal to your own experience that would add meaning?

the tone and voice are polished. i like this even better than the other one. i may be mistaken but i think you meant either latched or leashed rather than lashed. otherwise top notch.

i like a lot of this, but there are a few blips that i think don't work. "held tight in grip" is clunky, you can word it a bit better. "despair" sounds cliche. disrepair? roadside flare? dining room chair? almost anything would be better there than despair. a good effort though, at a difficult form.

heh, brown noser.
nypoet22 on My Brain by T. Jonathron Remp 12 Feb 2011, 11:06 PM
interesting! if you start with circus of circuits and remove "of slime. everlasting," it'd be a damnfine haiku.

very sensory, i like it. first line is a bit incongruent with the rest, and so is the middle line. what effect were you going for?

absolutely beautiful, wish i had been around when you posted it. love the interplay between musical and religious themes and the horror of the real life event.
i wonder how many people miss the point of this. conversational tone, stripped to the bone. in its own way, this works.
