And besides, what sort of person would plagiarize poetry on some unknown corner of the web?!? Obviously he has autism or some other sort of mental illness. Maybe you guys should just leave him alone, or beat and rape him with sticks like they did in the good old days... I don't really care.

Ok, the Rankin guy isn't even that wonderful to begin with, why would anyone copy his crap? Isn't there some sort of person that, oh, you know, administrates this site or something, that should have the power to say, delete this user?! What's going on here?!

At least my stuff isn't boring, trite pieces of crap like yours.

what the heck happened to this site? it's like a freaking ghost town?! was there some horrible accident in my three year absence?!

instead of writing a poorly drafted suicide note, why not write about the story behind what when wrong, that would be 100 times more interesting.

any song that starts with lord oh lord and i tune out immediately. and if he is toiling until his fingers bleed, shouldn't that mean the days are as long as the nights?
Re: Waiting to fall by aliena	12-Mar-08/1:34 AM
good effort, seems a little disjunctive though. i'm tuned out by some of the cliche words "agony", "inferno", "illicit desire". i like lines 4-9. maybe go into why you lie, sign, can't cry though instead of just saying it. paint the picture so the audience understands, otherwise it's something people can't connect to. i suggest getting some sort of modern anthology on poetry, read it, repeat. i think the goal is that you want the audience to feel something that touches them through a descriptive story of pretty words.

I like it a lot. But I don't get why the denial will help the character sleep.
Re: Goodnight by Nepanthe	12-Mar-08/1:24 AM
i like "of all things arms can do with grace" a lot. the rest of the song, eh. maybe i just need to hear it.
Re: Light show by winniss	12-Mar-08/1:22 AM
there could be something good here, maybe a couple more stanzas would help to flush it out.
Re: The Things We Wear by jessicazee	12-Mar-08/1:21 AM
i like the poem, good images, don't really see what it's saying though, thematically, maybe i'm just not trying hard enough.
Re: My circlet of reveries by liya	3-Dec-07/11:56 AM
No this one is good. And I hope I don't dissuade your writing with my (harsh?) comments, I'm no professional poem ranker or anything, I'm just here to have some fun. But with this one, while the imagery is good and it tells a story vividly the rhymes/words seem kind of forced and the style seems kind of dated. You should read a lot of new stuff, maybe you'll see. Of course, I'm not really one to talk about reading others poetry, I barely have time to read my own.
Re: Ten solid facts about -=Dark Angel=-, by his biggest palm frond, me. by horus8	3-Dec-07/12:37 AM
I think the Internet has lost sight of what it's really all about, that being shit, aids, dwarfs, and homos.... but lucky for us, DA is here to remind us with the vigorous thrust of his poetic fingers, over and over again! Bravo! Anyways, nice job summing up this man of mystery in a Letterman-esque sort of way.

Very nice stuff here.

Or maybe the mushrooms on my pizza went bad... or good, depending on what you look for in mushrooms.

It's like reading a surreal painting.
Re: Twilight Affair by thepinkbunnyofdoom	3-Dec-07/12:21 AM
This is good. Maybe shouldn't be #1. But it deserves a 10.
Re: Travails of one decade by Prince of Void	3-Dec-07/12:17 AM
Less telling and more showing. I don't really see what this poem is trying to say...
Re: Sunset Beach by amanda_dcosta	2-Dec-07/1:35 PM
Nice flow, the first line doesn't work for me though, same goes for the last stanza...
Re: Home coming of her love by Jessina	2-Dec-07/1:29 PM
Lately, thanks to Superbad, anytime I see the word "coming" I'm brought to that conversation in the bar with those silly cops and McLovin. Just wanted to share, and doesn't Poemranker remind you a little bit of show in tell back in elementary school?
