Was good, but sort of got a little worse each stanza, in my opinion. But still good enough for an 8.

While standing there nude, thinking about her with the hot shower running, the mirror fogged and the blade slipped – necro-fogslippage. Yes, nomenclature is everything.

It's down rthe hall on the left, and if occupied, there's an oleandar bush just outside. I do like the "halo beneath my feet."

Pleasant dreams.

Better grammar would help I think, even for a song. This is not simply a matter of an old prude telling a young songwriter about grammatical orderliness, it is a matter of clarity.

nice narrative.. we all need stories like we need boogers.. 10

as long as you remember, you are.. necro-masochist, then.. 7

too... uhm... ahh... let's just say no grace... 2

insecure.. and I am picking up a fight.. 0

You still like "un-bias"???? It's worth more than 0, but give up on becoming her god of gods. I wouldn't wish that on any man.

Not a bad love poem for an acrostic, hard to do and have it say anything.

I don't really follow it well. The weaving of words, though not overly complicated, seems a bit confusing. Can't say I like it, neither do I hate it.

I've seen this subject written a lot. Then again. I write alot of angsty, crappy high school poems. I shouldn't be talking. ur.

nice

u capture part of humanity well done

uhhhhhhhh...........

He only did'nt have faith in God. He did'nt have faith in himself.

The point of a sestina is to use the repeated words differently every time. You don't. Suggestion: use "fingers" as a verb at least once. -NO VOTE UNTIL YOU DO- PS-Don't argue. You don't know about sestinas. I do.

You are the most wrong person I've ever encountered. Questions: 1) Where did you get your doctorate? I looked online for a while, then I just decided to ask you. 1a) Was it one of "those" colleges? 1b) Did you just decide to call yourself "Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D."? 2) On what existing philosophical or religious tradition do you base your beliefs in both telepathy (http://tinyurl.com/3m62x) AND the phenomenon (note correct spelling) of "whemying" (http://tinyurl.com/55duc)? 3) How can a professed DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY not be cripplingly ashamed of posting something so megabuncombe as this so-called poem? 4) And anyway, "that has made all the difference" from what? How did you know? 4a) Do you think "betwixt" and "in between" have distinct meanings? What are they? 5) Did your grad school not check spelling or punctuation? 6) Can I see your dissertation? 7) Are you not colossally gay and a little inflated by your ubiquitous bumblings on cheap Episcopal websites and online op-ed pages, both of which being the kind that advertise the South Beach Diet when you open them? 7a) Did you know what "ubiquitous" meant before just now? 8) Do you think that's what real Ph.D.s do? 8a) Or websites, for that matter? 9) If I were you, I'd blender my own arm. I know this isn't a question. 10) How do you explain other poemranker users to yourself, especially that they trump your poems every time you come back despite not having Ph.D.s like you do? 10) And incidentally, how would a Ph.D. instructor in Psychology at a respectable learning institution with real classes describe the condition of coming back to poemranker after your last trumping? Make sure to use the terms "colossally gay" and "just plain sad" in your answer. (1 mark each)

What the hell. It's just too fun. "Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D. from Wharton, Texas writes: Dear Aaron: I left the message below on your site dealing with bathroom behavior. I don't know if you would be willing to do such a thing, but, if possible, it would sure be nice if you would be willing to include a question or two "on whemying" on your survey of bathroom behavior. It is something I have been thinking a lot about for the past few years, but, as a psychologist, I cannot get anyone to take me seriously. It is a really crazy topic, but wouldn't it be wonderful to discover something brand new about human behavior! By the way I am an INTP also!!! So if you would, please take the time to e-mail me in regards to how you might be able to help me in regards to researching the phenomenon of "whemying." Please read and respond! I have developed a term for a phenomonen that I refer to as "Whemying." This phenonmonen refers to "the holding in of feces for a few minutes (from two to three minutes up to perhaps as long as a half hour or so) in order to experience the good feelings associated with fecal matter (usually referred to as "a turd") as it stimulates the nerves of the rectum and, perhaps as well, places pressure upon (in the case of males) the prostate gland." The "whemying feeling" comes and goes every few minutes as the fecal matter stimulates the nerves and leads to some really good feelings "something akin to an orgasm." I would like to know if any of you out there ever engage in such a phenomenon, or perhaps know of someone who does such a thing. If so please e-mail me at dougsod@wcjc.cc.tx.us My feeling is that children, as well as some adults, do such a thing, but never talk about it (the fact of their whemying), because it would be such a horribly embarrassing thing to admit to! I really do want to find out if people do such a thing as "whemying," so if you have any information about this, please do let me know. Thank you very much. Doug Soderstrom, Ph.D. Psychologist" Your all aces. -10-
