No very well put together, not clear, chiches, and the repetition doesn't help.
"Tenderness in your touch, love in your eyes,
You are tranquil, wistful, and wise,
I want to dwell inside your mind, consume your every thought,"
-10-.
It has meter and all that poetic appropriatness, but the thought train feels too familiar.
This is a great poem, however it is not your poem. It was written by Robert Rankin, and from memory it appears in his book "A Dog Called Demolition."
Its an excellent book, and I notice that Bobjim has nicked a whole host of poems from there.
FRAUD!
Jack Handy, look out....
And yet still you stand.
The 1st stanza after side b, sucked. Other than that, I can't really place what I don't like about it. -6-
May I suggest that this page has become tangled with long threads entwining of comments. If anyone wishes to continue any of these discussions, perhaps they should do so on one my other poems.
You are at your best when you do the buffalo and asphalt. When you do the political "without delay" just to rhyme with "play," well, stick with the buffalo.
The last verse doesn't fit - it would have to deal with shame to fit. then -> than.
Consider making more, shorter sentences.
Nobodies are sad. You probably didn't mean that, but it's good.
and a hell of a time trying to decipher your words. You have too many of them here and no very well put together.
You've got some good thoughts here and a few good lines:
"Seeing memories of sight"
"For the fear it redeems"
Wish it were all that good.
I actually was deliberately trying to make that stanza sound somewhat bad. Each stanza is suppose to be a part of the mix tape and/or a commentary. That was supposed to be representative of the "hackneyed ballads" that are honest, but somewhat pathetic. I probably could have made that clearer.
Please wipe, or otherwise de-guff, your hooves before clopping onto the ranker.
I giant, malodorous dumpling, the likes of which I have rarely seen. It is marvelous.
S2 L1 Thought?
Good title. Not what I was expecting, but good none the less.
