Re: Thank You Mom by savannah	10-Sep-02/4:10 PM
Sentimental slop. 0. I can't award anything for this I'm afraid. Far too cheesy, and to start so many lines 'Thank you...' indicates that you are utterly devoid of inspiration. I'm sure that your mum would love this tribute, but frankly, I hate it. Horrible stuff. Be ashamed, please?
Re: Winter by morffrom	10-Sep-02/11:57 AM
This is both sweet and lovely, but also inaccurate. Is a frozen butterfly (note the 'r' in the correct spelling) really a tear in heaven? I very much doubt it, but for your beautiful imagery you score 8 regardless. However, the haiku is rather whimsical and vague. What exactly are you trying to convey? I have no idea, and I suspect that you don't either.
Re: My cousin's baby sitter. by Bachus	10-Sep-02/11:50 AM
Clever. 8. The second stanza is the weakest, but the final two are excellent. However young man, you're currently breaking the law by having underage sex, and have been reported to the relevant authorities already. Look forward to a lifetime of desperately shielding your arse from fellow inmates.
Re: Ever Felt by nightii	10-Sep-02/11:31 AM
I like this. 8. The drug references are risque (have you ever noticed that people shy away from commenting on poems alluding to drugs?) but nicely done, and the final section ends the poem succinctly. The short lines add atmosphere to the piece. I'm impressed.

Why the capitals throughout? One written for Children's Hour. Only under 5's should like this. 3. Crap.
Re: a comment on St. Germain & The Charismatically Uncomitted by <{Baba^Yaga}>	8-Sep-02/5:17 PM
I note the reference to myself. Look Mr. Bakayoko, S&M does nothing for myself nor my friends, so I do not understand your comment. However, I thought the poem was a masterpece, and give you 9.
Re: The Confession by [mojo]	8-Sep-02/5:09 PM
I have two thoughts about this poem. I began reading, and thought that this was an unbelievable situation described badly. I especially disliked the repetition of the last two lines of the poem; I thought it crass and naff. However, I completely unexpected the twist. The last two stanzas I read with complete interest, and especiallly liked the way the last two lines were similiar, but also differed. I'm convinced. A cracking poem, worthy of an 8.
Re: I'm Sorry by PawnedTidal	8-Sep-02/5:03 PM
With a little extra work you could have left me feelng utterly empty inside. 8. Short, concise and filled with startling strong sentences. The best poem I've read for a while. I commend you Sir.
Re: Wise Clogg! by -=Dark_Angel=-, P.I.	8-Sep-02/4:58 PM
I concur with Beakism. A decent effort DA; it raised a chuckle from myself and so I bestow you with a 7.
Re: The green mile by Ming T. Merciless	8-Sep-02/9:26 AM
This is much more a statement than a poem. You strike me as someone attempting to be arty and intelligent, but sadly lack the necessary brains to do so. Have a 1.
Re: One by ben	29-Aug-02/5:18 AM
It's a tad too depressing for my tastes, but you manage to convey the sense of loneliness without resorting to the any of the cliched stereotypes like 'darkness', etc, and so for that I gives you a 7. I look forward to more.
Re: Love and Marriage in Da Nang by Tascobar	28-Aug-02/10:10 AM
More incisive poetry Tascobar. However, I regretfully feel that you have taken inspiration from others with this piece, and so can only award a 4. Nice try, buddy.
Re: Mothers love by kissmeufool58	28-Aug-02/9:51 AM
Generally I despise this type of hogwash, but this is short enough to be acceptable. If you'd rambled on for much longer in this vein I'd have given you a deserved slating, but have a 3 for not inflicting too much upon me. I don't like the poem much at all though. There's far too much of this melancholy dross being banded about.
Re: The Hand of God by Christof	28-Aug-02/9:48 AM
I like this alot. 9. The piece is pithy yet detailed, and the final line is beautifully simple in comparison to the vague imagery of the poem. Nice one.
Re: Multicultural motel by Ming T. Merciless	26-Aug-02/11:19 AM
I like this piece Ming. 8. It could hardly be described as politically correct, but that makes it all the more amusing. The punchline is stark and bold.
Re: the bond we share by da_dark_wan	22-Aug-02/10:17 AM
Very poor. 1. I especially dislike the way you've repeated the first verse as the last verse. Whether it was to add emphasis or for some other reason I don't know, but it smacks of schoolboy poetry. The rest of the poem is simply dull; there is nothing in it to interest or engage me. Go away and do much better next time.
Re: panic by <~>	19-Aug-02/7:17 PM
Is this about masturbating or wiping your arse? 6. Always take a pack of tissues out with you. Then you'll be spared any embarrassing moments.
Re: Ambiguous Love Poem For A Girl I Once Knew by poetandknowit	19-Aug-02/6:51 PM
As much as I'm loathe to say it, this isn't bad. 6. It's evident that you're trying to be a smart-arse, but you pull it off. Nobody likes a smart-arse though, so just remember that when you're next out and about and telling everyone how good you are. Smart-Arse.
Re: Me and the Darkness by aurora	19-Aug-02/6:44 PM
Depressing. 7. Keep taking those tablets; whatever, you do, don't forget. This is miserable stuff. If you were trying to be bleak and dark, congratulations. Not the thing to read if one needs cheering up.
Re: Ah! That Love Would'st Lead Me by EggbertShootsFire	19-Aug-02/6:41 PM
Awful. 1. A large sack of wank. Poncy and overly expressive. I have a nasty taste in my mouth.
