on The Bastard Earth by Kitch 17 Jun 2003, 10:51 AM
a bit didactic and part of the end verse was far too 'ricki lake'

but some good parts second verse is thought provoking but perhaps a bit clumsy

a couple of nice beat esque bits

'like we believe in a politician' and asterisk....

the end doesn't need to be so definitive though
on One Night Stand by Audaciouslilgrl 14 Jun 2003, 10:48 AM
I do feel this a bit
but it is rather ordinary
good try though

I dont understand your motivation for writing this.
on Sittin Here by psikosis 14 Jun 2003, 10:42 AM
No, this is too obvious the rhyme/ the sentiment

Try get to the root of the feeling and its relation to other things

Interesting to us something modern and consumer as a truck to illustrate 'the beauty of the all'

I think the snappy sentences work well and fit together there is nothing too obvious to make me cringe here

a pleasant read

I guess you've rubbed someone up the wrong way the sheer number of zeros you get is quite impressive

I do think these poems need a lot more personal thought and insight though they seem a bit assinine
and the statements seem unqualified

I got loads of bad marks when i first came on here. I guess you have to read the work of your audience and learn some lessons from it

Then if you get good you can do your own thing again a nd be pretentious like a proper artist!

I laughed when i read 11
on Goddess of the vineyard by INTRANSIT 13 Jun 2003, 10:41 AM
yes nice logic/ flow
a bit in the spirit of an extended haiku
on Touchdown by Mona Lisa 13 Jun 2003, 10:39 AM
not sure about use of pale killer/ eternal youth

but i like the middle what is grief....

some of the big words and modern words tend to erode its sentiment i think

some good stuff though
on Iceman by Kitch 12 Jun 2003, 10:45 AM
not a bad try at all

I would say however your use of words such as soul and truth is perhaps unqualified with argument and image
on Coloured waifs home by horus8 12 Jun 2003, 10:41 AM
yes a good haiku wistful is a word everyone seems to use. I think it apt
on Oil Spill by scitz 10 Jun 2003, 10:30 AM
ok gets its point across
but stands as a list rather than a poem i think
thanks for the reference

i haven't ranked this
i don't think that was the point
(some people obviously do)

why the queen mum of england?
on Snowball by INTRANSIT 7 Jun 2003, 12:20 PM
have you changed this?
I prefer it today
perhaps it is the mirror
abortion is in the air today
on Thracian mountains until the Sea by Shardik 6 Jun 2003, 10:25 AM
zippy piece
I'm glad you get the story across without too many references
It'd just make me feel ignorant
on Abortion by horus8 6 Jun 2003, 10:22 AM
I like it
quite despairing
