I have to say that 'Far from the madding crowd' is perhaps the most tedious, boring, long, boring, long, tedious piece of writing I have ever been forced to read.

Yes! This is it! This is the most profound, beautiful, profound comment on America's society today that I have ever seen! How did you think of it, pink_punk_kisses87? It's such a through-and-through masterpiece that I hardly know where to begin... The title itself is sheer genius. Just imagine -- taking a popular catchphrase, "America the beautiful", and putting a question mark at the end!!! What better way to simultaneously subvert the reader's expectations and set the introspective, questioning tone for the rest of the piece?? Brilliant!
Now, before I continue, let me tell you that usually I have no sympathy for poemes that deal with "issues". But you have managed to capture the essence of suffering and needless brutality in a way that I had scarcely dreamt of! All the images -- so cliched, yet in your incredible hands, so fresh! A beaten woman - a hungry child - drugs - bereavement - depression - lost love. These, yes, these are the issues of the times. Oh wait, sorry. For a minute there I thought your poeme was good.

Frass...oh, Frass. The harder you gallop up the stairs of erudition, the more easily the peasants can see you sweat.

I'm ashamed of you, beakism. Not only are you a shameless thief, you are also an heinous misquoter! Good day.

Why take it as a compliment? Did you think I meant it as one, or do you think there is something good about reading too many lyrics?

The more someone desperately tries to sound "aloof" and "witty", the more they clearly do care. And you, Frass, are sounding suspiciously "aloof" and "witty". I hope I never turn into the sort of person who uses phrases like "your very common brand of empty vitriol simply doesn't rate or raise a rankle with me". You know it's BS, I know it's BS, and poetandknowit knows it's BS. Why not save everyone the trouble and just admit that he pisses you off?

Aren't we allowed to label a poeme as being of a particular form but then subvert that form? Next you'll be threatening to remove haiku status from any poeme that doesn't talk about nature and contain two contrasting images. Pffft.

From my point of view, it's "Milwaukee" that doesn't quite fit the rhyme. "Hierarchy" has a silent "r" when pronounced in the Queen's English.

Expand upon the second stanza. I am intrigued as to how the suggestion of nudity pans out!
