Not bad as a series of musical images. Don't know if you tried to put the poem in sonata-allegro form -- it sounds like that a little, but if so it needs work.

Haven't I voted on this four times in the last four hours now?

Much much better. This time I don't mind voting for the... what, fifth, sixth time? Seems to make much more sense now.

Is this a poem or notes for a poem you want to write?

I really like the third verse and 'scurrying sandbaggers'. As for the rest... if I told you I found it boring, you'd think I was just saying that, so I won't. Let's simply say that I wouldn't buy a magazine for the sake of getting a copy of this. Or even print it out.

Oh yes, about the poem, I rather like this one.

My God, woman, do you lie in wait and let me vote so that you can edit three split seconds after?

21st June 200? My GOD you're an antique. I didn't know they had buses back then...

I confess I really like the ending. Cheers indeed.

Hmmm... either you'Re editing every fifteen and a half seconds, and I don't always notice the difference, or else this site doesn't like me voting on this particular poem. I'd swear this is the third time in ten minutes...

The P.S. is a letdown. You could have done better than that.
Re: HELP by LIL ZAY	19-Oct-02/7:18 PM
Department of Guardian Angels Cloud 6 Heaven Dear LIL ZAY: We're afraid that your angel met with an accident; he was run over by a cement truck while sneaking away from you to go urinate. Unfortunately, we're rather understaffed right now, so it will be some time before we can get around to helping you. In fact, we may not be able to. We did ask for volunteers, but though one showed up, your obnoxious use of capitals turned him off -- he's rather delicate ears and didn't want to be yelled at all day. You could always ask the Devil -- he's rather a decent fellow if you ask the right way. Regretfully, Saint Gabriel Archangel Spokesperson for God Department of Guardian Angels Cloud 6 Heaven.
Re: Unpleasant Morning by liljsmith87	19-Oct-02/7:20 PM
When I first saw this, for a second I thought it said 'Got up this morning,/Killed the cat...' It might be even funnier if you wrote a poem starting like that.
Re: Sniper by nightii	20-Oct-02/6:12 PM
It's a bad poem, but at least you don't scream about this sniper character being a coward who knows justice will catch him. You get some points for that. Some. How much do we bet it's a CIA agent doing some after-hours practice?
Re: Why Did God Do This To Me? by TripleHGurl	20-Oct-02/6:41 PM
The more I read this, the more I notice the heresy inherent in it. Daring to claim God made a mistake... Daring to think that people only are taken by God if they agree to, which negates the full glory of the All-Mighty Baker of the World (who apparently left the ktichen for a moment and didn't realise he burnt the cake). By your own beliefs, God can do nothing he shouldn't do; the ways of God pass our understanding, as they say, and we must accept them all. You, girl, have the sheer GALL to question God'S might and Power, and Infinite Justice??? On your knees, girl, on your knees, and pray that ye be purged of the sickest sin of Pride, that Pride which led to Lucifer's own Fall, and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. I'm sure you can get your preacher to fill in the rest with a nice little sermon on the evils of pride.
Re: THE MISSING HEART by Prince of Void	21-Oct-02/9:51 AM
OUCH, I THINK I MUST BE DEAF. THIS ISN'T A SONNET, BY THE WAY. A SONNET HAS FOURTEEN LINES AND RHYMES. SORRY TO DISSAPOINT YOU. HERAT HAS INDEED BEEN MISSING FOR A LONG TIME. 'TRON'? 'RESTTING'? 'REYS'? 'BEYS'? WHAT DO ALGERIAN RULERS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?
