Dovina on As The Days Turn to Months by DevilBuni 26 Feb 2005, 5:24 PM
The first 2 verses say it all and pretty well. Consider dropping the last.

One of the better Haikus I've seen in a while.
your imagery is pretty but vague and empty. specify. excise the banal phraseology: "connect the dots," "secrets... hidden in plain view." overall, though, with potential.

A superb commentary on the mindset of today's international youth culture. Your vulgarity and absurdly emphasized rhyme scheme are in perfect keeping with their vulgar sexuality and lack of culture. Sublime.
9/11 was a tradegy for all concerned. But I think the term "boss man" contains redundancy, because all bosses are men by default. You might also consider replacing "lesser" with "female" :( -no vote-

Dovina on Homecoming Parade by wilco 27 Feb 2005, 6:05 AM
Thought provoking. I can hear it with an acoustic guitar from a coffee house stool. Not bad.
Poetry is something you read after you have written it and eliminated the obvious mistakes. It's a fine point I know, but try to master it.
Dovina on Ode by James Rykelangeli 27 Feb 2005, 6:31 AM
Very funny and nicely done. It makes me laugh at myself. Welcome to Poemranker.

I would vote, but I have no idea what this is. It might be very good, but it is written in a language I do not speak.
James Rykelangeli on A Flower for Monet by Shuushin 27 Feb 2005, 3:42 PM
nothing to object to concerning the technique: the words read smoothly, and the dropping flower cleverly solidifies the structure. its excessive sentimentality, however, weakens its potential cuteness and whimsicality. as for reducing the sentimentality, i'd excise the superfluous sunrise and rewrite "Her gift floats through time/ and past memories," as it's currently trite but has considerable poetic potential. still, i'm only dwelling on the poem's few shortcomings. overall, impressive and expressive. well done.

They probably AREN'T trying to be viewed as respectable.
Stephen Robins on It’s the Management by Dovina 28 Feb 2005, 5:11 AM
Do you always go down when your boss tells you to?
Stephen Robins on Background Noise by Plaidypus 28 Feb 2005, 5:16 AM
A terribly dangerous poeme with grave consequnces for the unwitting reader.

Do you think they will get it this time?
zodiac on Ode by James Rykelangeli 27 Feb 2005, 10:03 PM
Welcome to poemranker. It's funny you wrote a poem in a stuffy contemptuous rhetorical style about stuffy contemptuous rhetorical poets.
zodiac on Homecoming Parade by wilco 27 Feb 2005, 10:05 PM
Please consider dropping the "I quit my job" and "I quit my life" bits.
I'd guess you probably just need to grow about twenty years while not ending up like Dovina.

You have finally cracked.
