right I am never nasty to anyone but you are one of the highest rated on this site and you start this poem:
Do you need a guy you can rely on
or just a shoulder to cry on?
its like everything I work for is meaningless and good poetry is all about assinine rhymes (irony) and dull cliches
I'm not ranking this, I just don't understand

works well as graffiti. Enigmatic in any given context

like it, especially the first verse. I get searched less than I used to after I shaved my adolescent moustache.
set off an alarm today though, commandeered by some george michael alike security guard (must have been in it for the uniform) I had to laugh

sweet images in the first verse well fitted together.
not sure about the direction it took in the second verse. But I like poems that introduce themselves before later revealing the plot

I quite like all the daft words you use. It could almost be a nonsense poem or a surreal poem. Bloombrellas is my favourite

like hostile as a car bomb and the use of line breaks (prostitutes that pull/)
fourth verse is like an eminem lyric, funny

who will write a love poem like this in the next century. A few million I would have thought!
Some good points through I like the abrupt end to the first verse and second

a thought is never heard? how do you access your own thoughts then? Does it become apparent only when you open your mouth?
I do like the flow of this the last line spoils it though, a bit too pretentious

needs a bit of insight/ something new to say to compliment the imagery. Like the pretzel bit though nice to have a joke that becomes obvious when it is told

Nice build up, and I did understand it perfectly. The unmasking reminds me of grease 2 but what was the context of the unmasking?

Like this poem, not much to grab onto in the way of context but nice images and no obvious holes in it

like the structure in the first three lines leading to the mind rhyme.
A lot of this is too self absorbed though, I am not drawn into it

If you are rewriting I suggest you get it clear what this is about some of the verses seem not to hang together.
'Splatter, the sound resounding
Painfully, into the ear'
I would keep a good rhyme
Tearing away at my heart
Skin by skin, I am the onion
is good too kind of wreckless and emotionally raw.
Needs more of a place I think. What are these greens turning brown etc
some good parts, notworthy

a little bit distant for a suicide poem, also you probably shouldn't rhyme so loudly on such a serious issue

just seems like a list of fucked up things to do
maybe needs tightening to give the words their full power.

I think you are trying too hard to rhyme. You need to be more graphic and more specific in terms you use. We know what humans do to other animals but point out hypocrisies, use metaphor etc

I have no creative thoughts at the moment so I shall write a poem about it!
unless this is a creative thought
anyway a bit too smart/postmodern/ for me

a bit odd, the first verse build up is well but it seems to move too fast to the end.
still original use of language sets it apart
