Re: How much? by T.Becquerel II	14-Aug-02/10:18 AM
This I like. 7. It's quirky and different. A refreshing change.
Re: Tall can of Budweiser by bondjedi	14-Aug-02/10:07 AM
A successful Haiku makes words seem irrelevant. This has it in abundance. 9. Brilliant.
Re: Thorns by poetandknowit	14-Aug-02/10:01 AM
Good so far, but it's too vague. 6. You've left me wanting more, which I suppose is a good thing, but I want to know more details about the situation you describe. If I was feeling harsh, I'd suggest the poem is wishy-washy toss, but I'm not. I like the way it is left open to interpretation.
Re: Salt by <~>	14-Aug-02/9:55 AM
Very good! 8. The form is great, and some of the imagery is nicely done - 'vinegar now in his kiss'. Just one thing though; there's no mention of Tequila!
Re: Decisions by x311	14-Aug-02/9:49 AM
Dull. 2. I read the whole poem, but the fact that I really couldn't care less about it before I got halfway through tells the whole story, me thinks.
Re: Clit by unknown	14-Aug-02/9:46 AM
For an off-the-cuff, slapdash effort, not bad at all. 5. It made me smile. Still, I hope you didn't slave away on it.
Re: This Is The Sound of My Heart Breaking by Owner of the Sky	14-Aug-02/9:42 AM
Nice. Some really good lines, and the ending is powerful. 8. Would have scored even higher if it weren't a tad lengthy and colloquial in places.

I think you succeed in creating a sniping mood and a sense of biting rhythm. 6.
Re: the abandoned sea by crin	14-Aug-02/2:43 AM
I'm a fool for rhetorical questioning! 9. The poem is accessible but deep. Nice choice of words and images.
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...
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: 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: 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: 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.
Re: Who am I ? by SkateBoardGurl5799	13-Aug-02/5:57 PM
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...?

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.
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 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.
Re: Bring back the golden calf by rrrr	13-Aug-02/5:25 PM
This made me laugh out loud. Nice one. 8.
