on Contractual Paradox of the Old by Dovina 20 Jul 2006, 12:26 PM
This reminds me of the movie "Network". You should rent it and pay attention to the love story part of the movie. The part with Faye Dunawaye and that old guy. Also, I wonder if this guy has a five year plan.
This sounds more like someone's diary entry than a poem meant to evoke the readers feelings or thoughts.

It's all about the finish with the long ones and this one is orgasmic.

You should end with something more ambiguous than the last 3 lines, maybe with just something like "Thank you God" that way the poem can also be symbolic of a liberated woman. It's an adorable little story by the way. :-)

I can't get chat to work for me, sorry.
on I hate making titles by drnick 13 Jul 2006, 6:45 PM
This is a good description. If it was a metaphor for something it would be amazing but it seems to not be attached to any thing specific except a row of trees. Maybe a title like "State Park" or something would help give it more of a setting.

True story: while walking home from my art class when I lived in Pittsburgh I saw a girl in a wheelchair contorted and obviously mentally and physically handycapped. She seemed happy at the time and she was holding in her hand a box. It was a board game with the word LIFE written across it in bold letters. I always wanted to make a painting of that.
I agree with Dovina though on the "Healthy wealthy" cliche.

Honesty is the best policy. This is just fine the way it is.
on Hot by Dovina 1 Aug 2006, 3:25 AM
The last 4 lines sound cliche but the rest is golden.
on Here's your God by Caducus 1 Aug 2006, 7:43 AM
Whoever will you have left to blame if everyone stops believing in God? Maybe then we'll blame the soccer fans.
on Cold Collapse by MacFrantic 1 Aug 2006, 8:15 AM
I'm getting melting polar ice caps from it. Sounds really good.
on A Time to Dance by Dovina 24 Jul 2006, 9:13 PM
WOW. I getting to see into a part of women I've never seen before and it's located nowhere near the vagina.

Not enough info for most others to see this the way the lucky few of us will but for those few it's quite insightful.

How do you capture hell in a jar? I'm not sure anyone can but I salute you for trying.
on fragment by ecargo 29 Jul 2006, 8:11 AM
Reminds me of the days of the cold war.
on some deleted poem 24 Jul 2006, 6:46 PM
Sounds "Country" which is why I'd prefer you change "broken and oaken" to "broke and oak".
on Life Goes On by Edna Sweetlove 24 Jul 2006, 6:57 PM
Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da!
on Suicide Dream by Ranger 24 Jul 2006, 7:06 PM
The introduction almost makes me wonder if the narrator killed her.
on Trash by drnick 24 Jul 2006, 9:00 PM
Nice expression of the one man's trash is another's treasure sentiment.
on Diary by Dovina 28 Jul 2006, 6:14 AM
The jail cell metaphor competes with the main metaphor of the poem. It tends to confuse people when you put an unconnected metaphor inside a bigger metaphor. Otherwise very interesting and thought provoking.
on Wisdom by crazyknight 28 Jul 2006, 6:25 AM
O, those space fillers
useless words for syllables.
This Haiku does suck.
on Ode to the Irish Pub by mindsigns 27 Jul 2006, 5:54 AM
You can't possibly be Irish.
