They are nuts. What about fossil fuel? Pineapples? Sugar cane? The clothes on their neurotic backs? Name one thing in this life that is not the product of oppression.

You know what, you could be brilliant. Get past the pain and pay attention to what you're saying. Stop repeating yourself. Get rid of the typos, first step. Then take a deep breath and make sure you don't lose the only thing that keeps you going. Stay focused. 10, because of your emotion.
Re: missing time by Bill Z Bub	6-Dec-02/11:51 PM
There is so much going on here, you really need to hold back, I know it's hard at your age. Trust me. tender lids Darkened in sleep. You seem new. Do not venture beyond that. It says everything. Get rid of 'over' in stanza 2(otherwise perfect) Also 'soon to bleed' in stanza one, you don't need it. Your emotion comes shining through. Trust the audience. 'Pouty' is also an un-needed adjective, 'perfect' says it all. Complete 'morn' to morning. I wish I wis I could know you.

Oh my God yes. Bring the last to lines back up. They belong there, common, that's the point after all. Make them common and humble, like you.

Very fine. I have no winter here. Winter only means paper whites instead of black-eyed susans.

That was exhausting. Get over it. Try some line breaks and ephedirene.

Don't tell, show. Pictures dear, that's the key, not feelings exposed but snapshots.
Re: The cowards way out by MakenzieNy	5-Dec-02/9:41 PM
Fuck, I am not sure it's that cowardly at all. My nephew killed himself, same as your fellow here, drugs and all. Jesus, you know, it really takes some balls. Besides that, your poem starts off very well and then kind of tapers off like a guttering wick. I would try and revise if I were you, though plainly I am not. I think if you tried replacing 'cowards way out' with something felt instead of believed you come to place so close it would hurt. Good luck.
Re: The Dreamer by Nicholas Jones	5-Dec-02/1:27 PM
Redundant. Lacks emotional language, or better said, the emotion is lost, I can't explain. I want to believe the fear, feel it.

A few too many tics, and typos. Go through with the spell check.
Re: a comment on December once again by sunfloweronfire	5-Dec-02/1:16 PM
What on earth are you talking about? Annoying, teenage, hormonal? When did I use these words to discribe you? I made a comment, constructive at that. It would behoove you to take my advice, but no matter. By the way cast all the vengeful 0's on my poems as you like, the votes mean nothing to me. They only reflect what is difficult to express with words. If your poems come up in random and I feel like commenting I will. At that point you have 3 choices; Take some good advice Censor my comment straight off Reply with an assinine hurt little girl whine It is all up to you. My comment was well intended, and in fact quite accurate.
Re: December once again by sunfloweronfire	5-Dec-02/10:54 AM
Your poems seem to have a the black thread of hypocrisy running through them. You point out the weakness in others, which for me personally, is a big turn off. Righteous indignation is also hypocritical. Di you ever turn the magnifying glass on yourself, it burns but usually reveals more relevent and touching details.
Re: nothing, as today by <~>	4-Dec-02/12:55 PM
I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. No matter. This is but a glimpse I am certain.
Re: Rich and the wall by INTRANSIT	4-Dec-02/12:45 PM
And what did he find in the other side? Everything he hoped for, or just some stupid girl wearing out her heels from kicking the bricks? She's pretty though, isn't she? Now they'll have each other to tear at.
Re: a comment on she said by Bill Z Bub	4-Dec-02/12:34 PM
What's the girls name? I'm telling you if you put here name there it would work. there are so many good titles for this poem, only you know what's real, I think that's important. If you do revise this, which you should, you have received some good comments, try a different title. don't worry about losing your votes. Most rankers come back to the good ones and re-cast.
Re: she said by Bill Z Bub	3-Dec-02/2:23 PM
I like this poem very much, but feel the title gives to much away. Call it "Lessons" or "A Tutorial" or just the girl's name would be nice. Leave it a suprise, it's so short, that would give it more punch and bitter-sweetness.
Re: Left, Cold by Tibbs	2-Dec-02/1:55 PM
Now I'm sad. Good job. Is it 'breadth' or 'breath'? Strong ending.
Re: Utah by A. Nomaly	2-Dec-02/1:31 PM
I don't know what you're talking about, but it's pretty. what's 'scatching'? Thank you for the crows. Orange glow of radiations seems to weak for this piece. Could you say something like: Radiations growing glow Like an army of tangerines Something like that. Not that. Something like it.
