I like "honorably unread", I think that's a very strong line.
"Here is found a paradox in that during the latter third of the nineteenth century, in a period characterized by the vilification of the tramp, there is a concomitant process occurring that also eulogized them." from "The American Hobo" by Colin Beesley
I have learned to lay off too much sauce after reading this. Not too much just the right amount of vodka in this shot.
I hate the term, true love. It is love or not, but what is true love? Otherwise, I find this fanciful, but alright in a mushy way.
Twat (Splayit) by Squasha
I was passing my hallway's mirror when
A solemn twat leapt out and swallowed
me whole. Odd, I thought, for a twat to
leap? Since we all know snail have false feet!
I don't see how you race through a dream.
You've got to be kidding?
This is an unavigatable floater.
"Robins" Robin's
A 55 word heart decunter.

with a mullet.
"He spit" > "He spat"?
"craving the.." etc > "craving scarce applause, you drape your true"?
I dunno what the "mediocrity" line's dong - it's a bit out of place.
Otherwise, a very articulately-worded piece on a bit of a cliched theme, I might say (in praise!).
OK, so the last line could be "The sure hope of his shoulders inert." Good poem anyway.
I don't think the repetition works, the speed of light line annoys me. And drop "token" for something else. That line could be the real hook but I feel the whole thing's not quick as catchy as you want it to be. As it could be.
Coul you not make this a poem just by cutting the lines at readable places? I loved it. The "he/him/her" bit's a little confusing but I like that. I really like it all.
God! I hate hopeful poems. Still, this one is OK.
I was about to complain that the line breaks are odd when for some reason it seemed to read well anyway. Comma after night.
Amazingly amazing like orange tang.
