"Was I just another bulimia?" -Yuck-
The rest is OK.
It does sound like a lyric, doesn't it. Pretty catchy one too.
here'a link to the Laibach version: http://media.putfile.com/Laibach57
hope it works
great poem.
A great poem about loss. I live in the north east and can identify with "the delicious sadness of fall." Good job!
I like the style. There's a bunch of missing punctuation and randomly capitalized words, and 'addiction' is misspelled, but the half-rhymes are really cool. I kind of wish this was a little more meaningful than a book report.
"all kinds of guns waving in the air" and "explaining how my arm hurts" are really weak lines. The rest is pretty good.
In a different league to the rest.
Here's a perfect example:
REASON: Dovina might be slightly racist.
DOVINA'S BELIEFS: Nooooooooooo!
This would be good by Keane doing British pop doing Radiohead.
I like the music references. What I don't like is using the worm so much. There's already a great poem with that image, you need to add something, a strong image of your own.
I predict you're not going to care what we say about this poem. Good for you. You'll show us.
Thought you might like this.

I like the Islamic references, but wish you'd leave Bin Laden out. Would be stronger I think just showing the attitudes. And prestidigitation adds nothing over magic. Some good images, but some are vague.
