oh I thought this was quite good
on The Eye by Enki 10 Jul 2003, 4:27 AM
I wouldn't bother with the rhyme. This poem pretends to be profound then rhymes dashing and gnashing. It just seems a bit daft

I like haiku with a change of direction, all in 17 syllables.

the rubber glove thing is a perversion right?
on Cannibalism by Enki 10 Jul 2003, 4:23 AM
yes I like hot spices with flesh and this haiku
on Omerta el prostitute by <{Baba^Yaga}> 10 Jul 2003, 4:21 AM
enjoyable to read, ambiguous yes but with certain bits to hang on to like 'boys ride by laughing on bikes'
on What I Remember by leviathan 10 Jul 2003, 4:09 AM
varied selection of words and I like your verse structure. However some of the imagery doesn't really lure me into the poem and I think more basic elements of language would help

on The Beach by leviathan 10 Jul 2003, 4:06 AM
a lot of nice idioms in here. And it reads well as a poem.

the beach that used to be a throne is a bit naff though and takes away from the maturity of the overall

try not to rhyme so loudly when addressing serious issues.

by the way I don't believe you to be addicted to anything. This is not focused enough
on in here (i lost a piece of my mind) by nolan 10 Jul 2003, 4:01 AM
the first verse I will break free to I will be free. Has potential to work but I think you need to use the same repetition in the other verses
on smile by nolan 10 Jul 2003, 3:59 AM
not a lot of insight here and the description relies on cliche.

However I do feel a certain empathy with these feelings but that is more what I bring to the poem than you I think
on love sick by rymemaster 8 Jul 2003, 2:31 AM
living the life of the sick and insane? I'm not sure about that line

you told me your feeling/but you aint givin/ no reason for believin

(that is to say more insight needed)
on On Leaving an Awful Pub Job by razorgrin 8 Jul 2003, 2:25 AM
first ones good, i'm sure the other ones been done before though
on Priceless Moment by thepinkbunnyofdoom 7 Jul 2003, 2:26 PM
a comment nice and succinct is the essence of poetry for me. This is not a haiku but never mind
on Things by MrsGretchen 7 Jul 2003, 2:24 PM
I like your half rhyme, things and screams. And I like the final two lines too
on Crowning Achievement by MrsGretchen 7 Jul 2003, 11:04 AM
you shouldn't veer from your rhyme schem as in verse 4 it is off putting.

quite vague really and not anchored to anything

the first verse sets the intention well and I like the half-rhyme years and scars though
on blackhole by crwncka1 7 Jul 2003, 11:01 AM
I know you can't explain the trapped feeling. But please try

this poem doesn't seem to speak. It is just a few sentences strung together
on lucid building peace by nolan 6 Jul 2003, 4:40 AM
'the dead are unborn' well summed up

lots of things to make you think here
replying on Lycanthropes and L-dopamine by horus8 6 Jul 2003, 4:30 AM
No you misunderstand.

L-dopa was a drug that seemed to arrest the development of parkinsons disease.

However unbeknown to pharmacologists (quacks compared to real medics) the side effects were the overabundance of dopamine in the brain. Which caused many of those treated to develop schizophrenia.

My degree is in psychology, and this explanation is very weak. But I think you should get the gist
