#1 - Although the word hollered is quite an amusing word and used quite frequesntly in conversation here in the South, I don't believe it has any place in poetry...except that My Morning Jacket song...thats good stuff...
#2 - I think it just needs some more work. Make it interseting to read...make me actually think about whats going on.

Baxter, you know I don't speak Spanish.
Seriusly, though, you've got some solid stuff here. I think you could do without the second stanza and cut the first down to about half the lines and this'll be pretty damn good.

Once again, you could probably say this in about half the lines and it's actually be more effective.

mmm...not as good as the first one I read...not terrible, just doesn't make me jump up and say halle-fucking-luja (which really wouldn't be that hard right now cause I've got an 18 pack of High Life and the George Strait Box Set.

Sorry, I just couldn't get through this (length can be a virtue as in Zin/Enough/Squeeze/Things/Flow or a downfall like most of the other long poems on this site. Work on getting this down to a readable length and we'll talk..maybe I'll try again tomorrow, but I'm too tired and too drunk to try right now.

Sorry, I just can't like it right now. Too much rhyme and not enough reason.

Locusts do suck. I do, however, think that a much better job could be do of saying that here...

That's the idea. Don't give a fuck....
about the people who are just being an ass. If you're not going to give a fuck about writing, then why try. I wrote on one of your posts, what felt like a constructive bit...no idea if you even read it though..but seriously...actually work to get better...don't just post any old bit of shit that you write...it's what so many people here do and it's quite annoying.
The point, though, is that a few souls have brushed off the tacky shit, taken the constructive criticism and actually improved their writing...it's rare, but it happens. Take Cuddlytiger17....she's no Poe, but she's improved (and to be honest I don't even know if she still posts here, but it's just the first one that came to mind...so...).
I'm not gonna vote on this because it seems more like just a last ditch effort to get a point accross than a poem.
Here's the best advice I can give you though (and being 26, you probably already know it becaue that's the same age I am and I know it): Assholes are going to keep being assholes, no matter what you say or do...even on the Poemeranker.

Yesterday, someone broke into my neighbors house, took some jewelry and beat their pug to death with a crowbar.
I don't know why, but this just made me think of that.

eventually
This seems more like a science textbook put to rhyme than a poem...give it some feeling.

too much wisdom for his age...mmmhhmmmm....it's like they're just popping out knowing everything these days.
I like the first half of both stanzas but i think the end could use a little tweak.
