I really like the puffer fish bit - never seen or considered that and it presents a solid image.

Quite excellent.

Slight pause on "errant hunches" - maybe you can beef that up? A ten anyway.

Would that it could be top 40

catchy, clever title.

kill "of the genome"

"with the want for a familar" to "with want of familiar" - and a very good use of "familiar", too.

I think the ending doesn't do it justice - I know you know what you mean, but the promise of the beginning isn't followed through with this confessional wrap-up.

Know what I mean - one doesn't follow the other; this ending could be tacked onto anything.

no. When I like the user name more than the poem, something is broken.

"painted like a dali painting" pick a painting and kill the other.

This is, otherwise, pimple - not a bad one though.

quite an ambitious ditty - but I think too long?

Still, enjoyable enough!

a riddle-like quality.

The set up is out of proportion to the delivery, but the language is solid enough.

Something to think about if you ever do a rewrite.

This is a "concrete", and they are so few and, well, f a r between, that I'm gonna give you an 8.

this has some logic errors, like how would I (cuz I know you are talking to me) know if your blood didn't suit my taste if it then goes un-tasted? Or something.

Plus it sounds like another suicide poem[e].

is "How was it done?"

Did the search, but being at work was afraid to click some links - is it gross?

Will it be more gross than a pineal cyst? Cuz, so far that tips my scales at horrific.

this is not iambic pentameter.
sonnets never have the word "soft"

okay, had to do that /joke mode off

It's unusual for a sonnet to have a refrain line - and I like that. None of the rhymes feel forced, which is cool.

Downside: the last line doesn't make sense to me. Its a strong line and alone it makes a nice finish - but how it fits in the context is lost on my small human brain. Still - a nine in my book.

the answer, btw, is always
"with mirrors"
on #20 by mikejedw 20 Apr 2004, 12:07 PM
haiku shouldn't ryme, roundeye (nor should they really sound "poetic").

I'm serious, I didn't make this crap up. Change "feet" to "knees", and it will make more sense with "creeps" - unfortunately you are still stuck with the rhyme.

dunno. have a 7

nice complex internal and end-rhymes.
