The Arabic word for "wig" comes from the root "blessed". Interesting, huh?

Are you at the church, near a concert you missed, or couldn't get to?...some public event you are sad you couldn't be a part of? Is this about the Hunchback of Notre Dame, when he missed the OzzieFest? This would actually be pretty good, if you told us that specifically. The beginning is great, sets the scene, paints the picture...and then we say, "Huh?" with a puzzled look on our faces.I would have given this a higher score, had you cleared up the ending.
I went to see what the links were, that Zodic posted..and yep! the 1st, 3rd, and 4th were right up there! Sorry drnick, it wasn't the worst poem ever written, but it comes close! (So, how do I vote? A high score would imply this is good? Or would imply it is the worst?) I think I will rank it for the worst...that is what my score will reflect!)
'malignant palms squeeze saturation hieroglyphic masturbation.' This line about graffiti is awesome! This is a strange poem, with layers that warrant repeated reads. I read it several times, and it grew on me more each time. Good job. Actually, it would make great lyrics I think!

If this truely is a lyric to a song, please stop making lyrics that are so specific and boring. This reminds me of some Dave Matthews/John Mayer/Jack Johnson/new-age "punk" crap that makes me want to vomit. I'm not saying you shouldnt write about this very subject, but try and paint a picture rather than draw a diagram...if you can follow that.

Pretty good, but nothing special. I like the chorus.

Boooooooooooooooooooriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing, if you haven't noticed...the whole love-theme you've got going on here may be popular but it sucks. The lyrics are way too specific. This is the type of song girls in High School sing a long to. Try taking some drugs and write about that.
drnick on Brighter by Miggy 29 Jul 2005, 10:49 AM
Boring, boring, boring. Too specific/personal and waaaaay too played-out a theme. Do you write songs for John Mayer? Take some drugs.
I must say I enjoyed this read. I gave you an 8, because nobody else had.

I like the juxtaposition of profanity/violence and vulnerability here. I always thought carrion was plural, like meat.
nice job- you really captured the simultaneous hope and awareness of flaws that we bring to relationships

الآراء العديمة القيمة وفيرة تحت السّموات, I need no arabic lessons.....Sona comes from Arabic for Gold!
Dovina on Weariness by Niphredil 30 Jul 2005, 10:20 PM
Like sleeping beneath a volcano.
Sorry...this thought was Far too free for me...so disconnected...too disconnected to make sense out of. My favorite line was> "The flesh-covered oven hovered as I sat And watched as they pried the g from the front of the gnat" Although I wouldn't have used AS two times, and perhaps would have shortened the line with a word change here or there.

I would change blanketing to blankets, and take out the comma after sky. Actually, I would take out all the punctuation, take out "and' and use "the flashes of light".
LilMsLadyPoet on BY ALL YOUR HEART by prettyktm 31 Jul 2005, 7:03 AM
too keep> to keep Coz> 'cause Do you love me like I do> implies, Do you love me like I love me? By all your heart> ? with all your heart? ( and, sweetie, he WILL say and promise anything and everything to get 'all of you', and in all probability he will not stand by your side forever; in fact, he may never speak to you again.)
I liked this one! Th ending was kind of unexpected and abrupt, though.
