after voting, you'll notice a one-liner up at the top giving the poem's average, and linking its name. if you click on its name, you'll see its voting scores and comments. :)
Thanks,

I really love this: especially "oh, yea, I have one - a mind and thoughts to think with it"

a good message, with steps towards a readable poem. notes: "no where" should be "nowhere", the comma "people, in whom" is painful -- I understand you're looking for a pause there, but tossing punctuation against the meaning of the words just to set a rhythm is, well, hackery. hmm. "along and depressed" -> "alone and depressed"; "To see if there's something differently you could have done" -- yes, you can move words around; no, it's not a good idea just to do it for rhyme scheme. erm. actually, I don't think you mean "differently" in either case, come to think of it, but... hmm.
well, that's the basic mood of my comments throughout. oh, and "time u knew" -- please, no "u"!
umm. yeah. don't let me discourage you, though. the only way to write better is to continue to write. I'm still working at it myself. I recommend a challenge of writing a poem a day for 100 days, no matter how bad (though you don't have to share them all with us). chances are that you'll learn a lot about yourself and poetry by doing so. 3 months. (I've done it once and it added a fair amount of spice to my style; I'm doing it again now, though I'm not sticking to it as well, and as such getting less benefit).
okay, sorry for the long ramble, and welcome to poemranker. :)

that's beautifully circular, and, well, beautiful. sorry for a less-than-interesting comment. Does that form of poem have a style? I have the urge to try it.

ah shit. I was warned something like that might be happening. I thought I did something to fix it (removed any "funky" stylesheet stuff; specifically, the "blur" function).
I really don't have a clue what to do there. :(

there's something freaky with the way the menus work in IE:Mac 5.1 - all the links on the site, actually. OnMouseOver they bounce around, and then don't align back correctly. I've actually had the entire navigation menu piled on top of itself. Freaky!!

at first I thought it was a metaphorical relationship poem. at the end I wasn't so sure. Odd, in any case.
