Why be ambiguous?
Why don't we each launch into a thousand-word treatise detailing the riveting minutia of our daily lives? Let us know each other better. Or we can both remain unfashionable, disreputable enigmas. I guess my poetry is just another example of how far I am out of the loop. All I can hope for, I suppose, is the moment when my special brand of poetry takes over the world.
I encourage you to hold your breath for that particular day.
Also, perhaps it would prove beneficial, if we all here at poem ranker, purposely avoided reading many of the âclassicsâ of poetry just so that we can formulate no opinion at all instead of one that is completely wrong.
Please note the means by which I intersperse comedy with tension and respond accordingly.

It is because of people like you, who are notorious for their ability to seek out the delicate nuances and subtleties of allegory and then miss the point by roughly nine light-years, that I find I should probably whip something up to animate the story of my poems in a thought balloon.
On the other hand, perhaps without these brilliant critiques I would still be scratching out drivel on birch bark with a burnt stick.

I most certainly will not! As you have seen, the grammatically incorrect poems that are so typical on this sight really make the entire thing what it is. If they were constantly normal, grammatically correct poems, there would be nothing to read except average â and thatâs boring.
By Gods, I have a whole boatload of other oddball grammatical anomalies that, apparently, are just waiting to become kitschy and, dare I say, even cool if only I have the personal fortitude to do nothing about any of them for long enough. That's right, I am the future. If that doesn't terrify the ever-loving stool from your body, you haven't read enough of my poems.

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country. For me this poem is about typing and nothing more.

Yes, the gasoline in this context is a metaphor for the person's soul. In Magick the soul is associated with fire as well as air.
line 19 is a mystery for the initiated! ;) Thanks vulcan!

When we are gone,
they will remain;
Wind and rock,
Fire and rain.

Thank you! Does this poem come across as anti-witchcraft??
What do you mean you can feel the witches burning? Perhaps the meaning of the poem is not as clear as I thought.

Truly evil are the mechanisms of repression in church and society, which do not see the shadow in themselves. So says Baphomet 1st in 7. 7/10

yes death,life tightens it up. I capitalized Amber for that very reason. I wanted it fairly obvious that this wasn't just about fossilized tree sap. It seems to have worked so I'll leave it as is. thanks

When I feel like that I go to York beach and ride the coaster,build sand castles and gorge myself on the peanut butter taffy made right there on the board walk. I come home feeling all shiny, and new again. Great poem! 10/10
