on Its raining by caitydee 10 May 2004, 7:09 PM
"The rain storms" delete "rain"; not too shabby. Stays I think to the right side of pimple - but only barely.

What else u got? Fire it up.

This "getting into character" is one of the biggest appeals of this poetry thing - I do it too.

Sure, some things are true - the whole ass-raped with a jackstand thing, for example - but who can make stuff like that up and make it :believeable:?

Time is an illusion /echo

An unusual thing from you, this. Feels pimply, I want to pick it to shreds.

Greets (been hard to get on-line this weekend)!

This has a jaunty little beat, doesn't it. I'd be inclined to change a couple minor things here and there, but overall it's got a solid feel.

Exlamations points might be overdone, and I'd just make that last line go right after the "she", and lastly the capital "And" is pretty jarring.

Mechanically it's not to shabbily done, I'd say. The endrhymes weave without any noticeably intrusion.

The meter chugs right along, slightly bumpy toward the end there - but serves to let the reader know the station approaches. I'd try to hack out some of the conjunctions, in particular but carefully since it would affect the good flow.

Philosphically, I'm willing to accept it as a character perspective, one that although I personally don't quite relate to it, I can understand.

Have an Eight. A few more poetic techniques would notch it up pretty easily, given the success of the mechanics used.

"yet" can go.

Lots of twothree letter words in here... this could be very much distilled and made stronger, imho.

Phew - you can sleep easy. "Ol '55" was on Wait's Album "Closing Time" (1973)- The Eagles did a cover of it on "On The Border" (1974). Track 7 :)

Believe me, I understand. My advice - clear this one out of comments, paste something new up there and set it aside for a bit.

Give yourself some time for a fresh perspective. You can edit the other anytime.
on When she beats me by Win 5 May 2004, 9:04 PM
Great title.

Is that some forshadowing there at the end?
on Everglades parkway by INTRANSIT 5 May 2004, 9:00 PM
This one is not as good as the other, imho - but still offers an interesting read.

Some of the language seems heavier.

heheh - my Caesar complex kicking in again.

You know thats an Eagles song (too?), right?

Then you are a fool, and your opinions on the matter are discarded.

I grow bored with you - you may let yourself out.
