'I woke up to the smell of lawn
I wondered why my boots were gorne?'

Is an ace rhyme

other than that you shouldn't rhyme you twice and then with poo. I guess you got bored.

wistful, quite sparse in its language but throws up a few nice phrases 'potato faced bully' is nice

OK flows kind of well. Well communicated.
Lacking in any real originality though

thanks, but I don't think I have changed it since your last comment.
on whilst the bells ring by richa 14 Aug 2003, 7:11 AM
an old one of mine, I just deleted the last verse and changed a single line for housekeeping purposes
put the title after the poem and it sounds like the dialogue of a schizophrenic, which is worthy in itself.

mullberryfairy: 'why would anybody want two games of twister?'

'exactly!' -8-

good poem, all the images link in so well

and your signature food metaphor

good poem
'He wants to assert his power through sex,' is not needed as the poem communicates this fine.

your writing always speaks of a writer of quality (and laziness)
on one day, one moment by crwncka1 12 Aug 2003, 8:50 AM
A bit prosaic and lacking.
I like the idea of fog as burning away (like smoke).

Unless you are about to delve deep into philosophy I would leave 'the only thing real' well alone because it just sounds cliched.

OK at least shows signs of wanting to get to grips with the subject

Not sure why the title is parenthesized is it because it is somehow incedental.

I like the lively use of language
'victims of a grape' sounds out of place though

pretty enjoyable read
Would certainly go down well at a rally

if that is what you wanted I guess my criticism may not have been warranted
good poem and well done for making it so far then!
good, if you wanted to redraft it I would suggest making it a bit tighter. There are lots of nice images but there are gaps in between.
on Back to the Fistful of Haiku by HaikuMofo 7 Aug 2003, 6:32 AM
this is sixteen haikus. I think versed haikus are supposed to have some kind of theme running through them.

A good haiku should stand up on its own.

I think the first one does, it is quite good
on Emotion Dawns by Nightmare-Poet 7 Aug 2003, 6:29 AM
I am always amazed at all the sad poems on here that employ nursery rhyme verse.
first two verses are your best yet

the rest sounds a bit of a lecture though
on Definition of Hypocrisy by Retaliate 7 Aug 2003, 6:25 AM
mmm sounds just like england too. As for the poem it sounds a bit like a political speech. And you can not get more hypocritical than them.
good though
