Re: Song of departure by kawakurdi	13-Aug-02/5:15 PM
This is poncey, verging on the ludicrous. 3. Some nice imagery in isolated places, but lines such as 'I am scared of a time when like a loony' mean that quite frankly my friend, you should be put up against a wall and shot.
Re: Let's praise the flesh peddler by horus8	13-Aug-02/5:20 PM
This is very good. 7. I like the poem very much. However, although I'm not prudish at all, I didn't like the crude bracketed words. They didn't offend me. Oh no. I just thought they were shit.

Yeah! This is really good! 9. A bit descriptive in places, but this one really speaks to me. I'm off in search of more of your works, my good man.

This made me laugh out loud. Nice one. 8.

I'm a fan. 7. This is good stuff - a picture is being painted and I'm there. There's an air of mystery that I really like.

I'm afraid that this is the kind of stuff that makes me want to curl up into a small ball and die. 1. Any halfwit can write this type of dross. What are you trying to say in the poem? I have no idea, and I suspect that the sorry truth is that the author has no idea either.
Re: The Call of Duty by waltfreakinwhitman	13-Aug-02/5:37 PM
This is pure genuis. 10. Alright, it may be purely purile genius, but it's genius alright folks. Sir, if I met you in the street, I'd be honoured to shake your hand. Why this poem finds itself in the worst poem list is, quite frankly, beyond me.

No, this is bad. 5. It's much too clumsy; there's no shape or structure to it. Had potential, but you managed to blow it. Never mind next time.
Re: setting the record straight on April by poetandknowit	13-Aug-02/5:47 PM
Ahhhh! Such a waste! 3. This poem starts really well, and I was gripped for the first four lines, but then it just turns into an awfully incoherent, crappy rant. I think my major gripe is that you appear to be trying very hard to shock the reader, but fail utterly and completely.
Re: The First Proper Evening of Summer by [mojo]	13-Aug-02/5:51 PM
This kind of poem is a safe bet. 6. Very mediocre, I think a 12 year old could do as well, but the simple yet emotional images of a summer childhood means that everybody can't help warming to the poem. So, and as much as I would like, I can't give too low a score.

I'm sorry, this is an utter dirge. 1. I would bet my life's savings that the author is a Rage Against the Machine fan. I think they're a great band, but I buy their records for the music, not the lyrics. You seem angry, my young friend. Ever tried counselling...?

Ha Ha! No wonder you're a bloody Guardian reader! 8. Not my politics at all, but nevertheless, a decent poem. One for adults to think about, and I like that sort of thing.
Re: the doorman by nessness	13-Aug-02/6:03 PM
I quite like this, but there's not enough. 6. I'd just got into it, and it ended. Write more next time; I'd like to see what you have to say for yourself in a longer piece.

This is not a cool song kat, this is shit. 2. If you're looking for a decent song to put on just before you went out on the razzle, you would not choose this bollocks.
Re: Twilit Beach by Corey McHattan	13-Aug-02/6:14 PM
Nice. Very nice. 9. Stark, yet brimful of imagery and atmosphere. I salute you.
Re: in a parking lot by <~>	13-Aug-02/6:22 PM
It's good. 8. In fact, it's very good. I like it a great deal. I wouldn't reach orgasm over it as someone else seems to have done, but it's certainly worth a read again and again.
Re: Stray by Corey McHattan	14-Aug-02/2:30 AM
V good. 8. I am a cat man myself, but bias apart, a very worthwhile effort.
Re: of the bad hard drive by david	14-Aug-02/2:32 AM
Smacks of Tron to me. 4. Still, there's something there...

I like the sentiments and feelings that you're trying to express in the poem. 6. I just don't think you do it very well. Developing a bigger vocabulary may help.
