I feel this piece would be greatly improved if you edited it. Look for repetetive or redundant lines, trim it down to give it better impact and so it doesn't seem to drag on and on. Despite that, I'm compelled to give it a nine. It's honest, funny, and pushes the right buttons for me.

Not bad, no, not bad at all. Blessed with nine.

I like it as is, except you could have added a line break after "I'm somewhere." That said, you are blessed with ten.

I was wondering if I perhaps should have hunted you down to disturb your hibernation. Welcome back, and take this blessing of nine- I liked the poem, but the line breaks made it a bit confusing, though I suspect that was your intention, somewhat.

Well, my latest villanelle is a writers block piece. Villanelles are considered to be well suited for expressing unsettling issues that a poet has, etc. so I figured it would simply be a matter of time until I wrote a vill in response to writers block. for some it worsens the block, but it eases my imaginative stiffness when it plagues me. You could try that perhaps, or something other than a lyric- since, in my experience anyway, writing lyrics aren't effective during writers block.

My writers block villanelle. Hope it isn't too whiny.

Well.. you know, this doesn't look as if you put all the ability you have into this one.. if it were to be sung, I think it would come out lame. Theres the potential for this to be extended and improved though. In the mean time, I bless thee with five. Go in peace.
Re: Of Painting by thepinkbunnyofdoom	10-Jun-04/7:01 PM
I like it. Loaded with attitude. Blessed with eight.

Your use of picasso instills in me the feeling of inadequacy. Take this blessing of ten and begone!!

Well, yeah.. kinda.. but I really wanted to see the response I'd get from posting this bloated and disordered rant on poemranker- I was expecting a general reaction similiar to that expressed by zodiac. heh.

I didn't expect many to feel this one, I wrote this for my amusement when I was drunk. But it serves it purpose in revealing some of my kinks with villanelles at least.

That works. Could have said that in the first place. Why didn't you?
Re: a comment on The curse of language and other scattered thoughts by Y2kSlamPoet	7-Jun-04/9:29 PM
I quote: "but the path has been laid out for me, I need only the courage to walk it." That does imply a predestined direction, or maybe I'm mentally warped. I believe its both. But yeah, it doesn't really matter in the end.

Re: a comment on The curse of language and other scattered thoughts by Y2kSlamPoet	7-Jun-04/9:17 PM
I never mentioned giving into one basest desires, but I did mention facing ones darker psyche. As for desire, everyone gives into their desires atleast once if not many times- any who say they never have? are frankly lying. What I've come to know, for myself, is that: No path is a road to freedom until you have paved it yourself. So wonderful goodies for you, your followin down the lil yellow brick road. Theres not much courage in following a direction, having to choose and walk without yellow bricks for comfort is brave, and independent- I prefer that over anything else.
