This I like. 7. It's quirky and different. A refreshing change.

A successful Haiku makes words seem irrelevant. This has it in abundance. 9. Brilliant.

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.

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.

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.

I'm a fool for rhetorical questioning! 9. The poem is accessible but deep. Nice choice of words and images.

Smacks of Tron to me. 4. Still, there's something there...

V good. 8. I am a cat man myself, but bias apart, a very worthwhile effort.

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.

Nice. Very nice. 9. Stark, yet brimful of imagery and atmosphere. I salute you.

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.

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...?

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.

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.

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.
