five seven then five
do you need an abucus?
I counted this thrice.
actually, you can play with the syllable count - I just like posting that when I get the chance.
;o)
Did you do it on purpose? If so, why not just stick the other syllable ("I") in there?
With "in som ni a" you are basically halfway there; that's a tough one.

Re: The birdboy that was (Icarus) by Y2kSlamPoet |

This thought of icarus being converted to fuel some other thought or inspiration is a good one.
Would be worthy of a poem with it as a central theme. The idea of it can be used in other similar tales - like christ's body used as fertilizer, perhaps (would have to work around the logic problem of the whole stored in a cave thing, though).
As for the rest of this poem, it smacks of an attack on someone, though I don't think the reader is given a solid idea of who - a personal mission perhaps?

Very sexual. Freud would have a nice time with this.
the language is good, but I think "initiated" is better toned down as "started". The rest works, imho.

I very much like the last stanza - the rest, though nicely said, doesn't say too much that is original.
Almost ironically demeaning it its mundaneness; near satire (would be a more interesting piece from that angle, would it not?)
Btw - have you studied the word "pretty"? It really is noteworthy.

Re: The daisy-chain girl by richa |

You make me work so hard with your poetry.
I understand dandelions and litter (putting a flowerpot over them for extended cultivation).
and I can *almost* see your connections with the measure, the clock, the stepping; these incremental units.
They are, supposedly, linked somehow. You say "spriritual vs mathematic" - have you been reading Spinoza before bedtime again??? Maybe some Tipler?

"The covers stir over there sandwiched content."
nice!
(make it "their", though)

Very sad. Rest assured you will get over this, and the three I'm giving it (as I will mine).

WEll, I like this:
"My sober mind an empty cup,
and now I drink to fill it up."
yes, some of the rhymes are, ah - easy. But somehow it retains a spark of ingenuity.

Re: Poe ét tri by Blue Magpie |

I was really hoping this would go someplace other than back to the beginning.
It shows some promise - I suggest you try and wrap it up somehow.
As it sits, its a seven in my mind, tops. could easily be more.

I like this one.
am I interpreting correctly that it is in quotes up to "But"?

An iron sentiment clearly wrought, if not poetically so.
Hmmm, what to do?
Maybe you could attach some imagery to some of these list items? I think quite a few poems, actually, will fall from these sentiments.
