Shuushin on The Flower by Bhaskaryya 19 Jan 2005, 8:08 PM
what kind of flower? what makes it appealing? why "a few" - loose that. this tendency to put a descriptor to actions that you've already described (or should by other means) is distracting. Like "hasty" and "Heedlessly". and there's something unsettling about the real-time nature of this - the play-by-play, yet you put "yet unaware [that you trampled over the living]" - that retrospective though process pulls the reader right out of the moment. And really, the action speaks for itself, or could better do so. I think you could make this moment with the little twist (pluck) ending a fairly nice piece with just a little attention to the types of things I just said. Not that I have an advanced degree from an accredited poetry school or anything.
Shuushin on Aeuphoria by MacFrantic 19 Jan 2005, 7:57 PM
"things awry" is a little vague, don't you think - maybe a missed opportunity given the sparseness here. I think its better without that last line, really.

better!
Shuushin on Jeremiah is mud by somemorepoetry 19 Jan 2005, 7:54 PM
nice with the crows remove all the commas, put a semi after "water" "separate" (spelling) interesting visuals and conclusion - consider changing "crows" to "blackbirds" (because you have "scarecrows" later on and the duplication is unflattering).

how's that?

Oops, you're right...edit time..

That's true. And that is why everyone hops on the band wagon. And I'll just sit here and be the non-conformist. Or is it being conformist to be non-conformist? Hm...

Pretty not bad - slowly and slow are too close "Remembrance" (spelling). What's it about - murrderrr?

I'm a fan of his movies. Just not him. Though, he gets kudos for doing Secret Window, one of my favorite novelas by Stephen King. hum

Nice, the end did save it.
wilco on American Semele (Edit) by Sasha 19 Jan 2005, 5:49 PM
Not too bad. I thought it said American Shemale thouth....that could be an interesting poem....
wilco on Revaluations by Beyond_Dreams 19 Jan 2005, 5:16 PM
I can't really give you any advice. Take Macs advice.
wilco on Hate the Contestant by Blindpoetry 19 Jan 2005, 5:11 PM
I agree with you on this, although I'm no fan of the Bush White House. I'm not sure what to vote on this, though. Michael Moore is an idiot, as are all the musicians and actors who put their foot in their mouth on a daily basis, but...what are you gonna do...
wilco on Cancer by tangerinepuddle 19 Jan 2005, 5:09 PM
Now, normally I try to give at least constructive criticism if not positive, but I don't see anything that could make this better. Sorry, try again.
wilco on A Picture For Danny by Caducus 19 Jan 2005, 5:07 PM
Now, this is pretty good, I think. I think it would flow better if you omitted the lines "Cathy asked her daddy" and "To which he replied". Making it read something like this: 'Where did Daniel go when he died?' 'Your picture princess' Cathy smiled as her dad fought back tears. I don't mean to rewrite it because it's good as is. It's just an idea...
wilco on Sounds by Dovina 19 Jan 2005, 5:01 PM
While true, I don't very much like this one D. I think that it is just an observation that is drawn out into a needless poem. Sorry, I can't give it good marks. You set the bar too high for this sort of thing.
smellycat541@ on AIDS in a van by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I. 19 Jan 2005, 11:16 AM
DAMN you got enough comments for this one, even though it sucks
smellycat541@ on Thong Thoo by fatmansinging 19 Jan 2005, 11:13 AM
I love how you named it so everyone will read it.
Shuushin replying on Hate the Contestant by Blindpoetry 18 Jan 2005, 8:07 PM
thanks - but I am a J. Depp fan (gay or no, but I think no).

micheal moore shits on the White House. Bands shit on the White House (it seems to be the popular music thing for fake punk bands, now.) It's the wagon we all jump on just to fit in. Ot to just follow our favorite bands or actors. (one is especially Johnny Depp and his gayness)
