I once sailed to Catalina with my friend, and the boat started leaking and i screamed like a crooked wristed woman and run amuck in a tiff.

Fuck god and fuck you, no really, I'm kidding I write poetry like this a lot when I feel, SATAN is working against me or through me like in the summer of sixty poo when I was alone and depressed. that's when I found heaven was the backseat of ford granada with a heater called 'windows'.

Suggestion: -=Dark_Angel=- 81.86.113.159 18-Sep-03, 10:00 PM DEAR POETES After months of research in the Forbidden Laboratory, I have finally devised a MECHANICAL CONTRAPTION for rapid and efficacious poetry-criticism -- I call it the MEDIOCRE POEME CHECKLISTE. Its use is simple: Merely copy this list, paste it into the comment section of an mediocre poeme, and check the boxes with X as appropriate. If applied properly, the CHECKLISTE will no doubt bring about a new Golden Age of constructive and amicable commenting on Poemeranker!!
