This is catchy, like a pop song. I'm making up a tune as I go along. Nice.

What the hell is going on? This is not what one expects of you. Irony or no, this is too Disney for anyone's sanity.

This just has to be a joke. Please please please let it be a joke

I like the metaphor of man for wall, taking him apart to recreate him - the rebirth imagery is very strong. My only query is about the animals 'on legs in multiples of four' - seems a bit periphrastic. Other than that, this is absolutely spot on.

The bit about the dirty joke is good, but I don't think you need the last two lines. It would be better left to just tail off, like your relationship.

I don't know if it's really lives up to the sacred heights of the haiku, but it is an insight into the mullet-wearer's psyche and invaluable for that reason.

Does it all have to be in capitals? I feel like I'm being shouted at. Quite like the poem though.

The last three lines carry a great burden very gracefully. I wonder a bit at the variation in rhyme scheme between end end of s 1 and the of s2, but that's just the pernickety formalist in me trying to get out. The main thing is you got a sensitive comment from Bachus - that is all the praise you will ever need. Well done.

Yes, 'cancel time' is very good - I quite like the 'art you make in bed' too.

This is smashing, first five lines especially - 'involute dust', excellent.

This is expansive and wonderful - 'frugal wisdom' I like a lot and the general sensual realism of it. Top stuff.

This is crazed and funny. I don't know what a Winter Muse Fighter might look like, but they sound sneaky and unreliable.

Hey Intransit, how's it going? I
ve been out of circulation for a while due to losing my job etc etc and having no computer - I'm reduced to using an Internet cafe. But glad to see you're continuing your quest for truth'n'beauty and all that. Keep it coming.

I'm surprised to see you've taken down some of your Greatest Hits - why o why? This keeps the good work going though. I can't agree with p&k on this because I like the mythical archetype used here (though the couplet about Lady/Knight I can't quite swallow).

The villanelle, what a lovely form, and so wittily used. Is Atlantic city a good place to end up ensnowed? I have no idea.

I like the gentle humour of this, the contrast of poet and girls, the reforming drinker and the innocent daughters of the church. This one's rhythms sneak into you subtly without even trying. Top stuff.

So this isn't a biogrpahy of the famous one-hit-wonder singing duo (as you omit the sad demise of c or E - can't remember which, I reckon it isn't). I like the different voices of the two the same situations seen from different points of view.

Well done, Mr Prettycock, you obviously know how to keep a lady happy. I can't wait until I'm 40+ and have a webcam.
